3 commenters provided the same feedback. We can change the name. What do you guys think about calen.com? I can nab it for $40K (pricey but seems reasonable for a .com domain)

Really helpful tip that we should remind users we're not a drill sergeant and that your productivity scores don't equal your identity.

We don't yet have a profile page in the app, but when we build it, we want it to represent the user's identity with a lot of fidelity, which will include creative, professional, or personal milestones alongside productivity data that the user wants to showcase.

I.e. sometimes you will be proud of yourself for a cessation streak, but sometimes you will want to proudly display a new artwork that is difficult to map to your productivity data.

Totally understand that $15 per month seems like a hefty price tag for a new product, but it's the lowest we could go since we pay human coaches for check-in calls with users.

The average personal trainer charges $30-39 per session depending on whose data you check. Assuming 1 session per week, the price of a personal trainer is $120-156 per month and our combined software and 1:1 human solution is <1/10th of the price.

It's $5 for the first month and $15 for each month after that. Each user gets a personalized onboarding call with a human coach ($5), with the option for weekly calls thereafter ($15) to reflect on the past week's data and plan tasks and habit goals for the following week.
