Blockers don't get it. Reminders get ignored. Guardian steps in.
Guardian: Morning. What's today for?
You: The portfolio. Projects page, with the grid docs and a tutorial.
Guardian: Got it. Docs and the tutorial count. Everything else waits.
Today: Projects page. Counts: editor, grid docs, the tutorial. Doesn't: feeds, other videos, shopping.
10:05 to 11:20
Then you drift.
One video. Four more windows.
11:21
He steps in.
Distractions go to Later. Your work comes back.
Guardian: That's a lot of research for a projects page.
Button: Back to it. Four windows go to Later; the docs and the tutorial stay.
Wednesday, 09:12
He remembers.
Next morning, he picks up where you left off.
Guardian: Morning. About page today? Marta wants the site by Friday. Yesterday's windows are still in Later.
What he remembers: Goal: portfolio site for Marta, due Friday. Counts as work: grid docs, CSS tutorials. Pulls you away: cat videos, Saturday plans. Best hours: 9 to 12.
Wednesday, 11:40
He's on your phone too.
Same session. Same memory.
Guardian, on the phone: Same session on here. The feed will keep.
Step 1 of 2
Want him on your desktop?
For Windows. The first members get founding-member pricing and a real say in what he becomes.
Your screen stays yours.
He's designed so that understanding your screen happens on your PC. Only what you say in chat goes online.
What he may do
Talk to me when I drift
Move distractions to Later
Close tabs and apps
Block sites during a session
How firm
That can wait. It's in Later.
One line, then the distraction moves to Later.
- Understanding happens on your PC. He reads the window you're using to tell work from drift. What he sees is not uploaded or kept as video.
- You choose what he may do. Talking, moving things to Later, closing tabs: each one is a switch, and you set how firm he is.
- Pause him any time. One click in the tray. “Paused. I'm not looking.”

Questions
When can I try him?
We're letting people in a small group at a time, Windows first. Join the list, answer a few quick questions, and you'll hear from me when there's a spot for you.
Does he record my screen?
No. He reads the window you're using so he can tell work from drift, and he's designed so that this happens on your computer. What he sees is not uploaded or kept as video.
Will he be annoying?
When he speaks, it's one line, and you choose how firm he is. You can pause him any time.
Does he close my tabs?
Only if you allow it. By default he moves distractions to Later, so nothing is lost.
Is Guardian AI?
Yes. He uses AI to understand what you're working on and to talk with you. Understanding your screen is designed to happen on your computer. Chatting with him uses an AI model online, like any chatbot.
How much will it cost?
Guardian will be a premium subscription. Founding members get a lower price. No ads, and your data is never sold.
Mac or Android?
Windows first. If you use a Mac or Android, join anyway and tell me. It helps decide what comes next.
Is this for ADHD?
It's for anyone with goals that matter and a gap between deciding and doing. It isn't a medical product and doesn't diagnose or treat anything.
