Rise - A Daily Planner for the Agentic Era.

“Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make.” — Paul Graham I agree. But I believe there’s something just as important in the AI age: how we choose to use our time. When creation becomes easier, the constraint shifts. The real scarcity isn’t capability — it’s attention. It’s hours. It’s focus. Rise is built around that belief. It’s a daily planner for the agentic era — where AI expands what we can do, but we remain responsible for deciding what deserves our time. Every morning begins with a simple ritual: in just a few minutes, you plan your entire day. Rise suggests what can fit based on your schedule, and you choose what deserves your time. Instead of endless to-do lists, you define recurring activities — deep work, workouts, learning, creative sessions — each with its own duration, frequency, and rhythm. Every activity you schedule is added to the calendar you assign it to. I often separate work, personal projects, and health into different calendars — and Rise keeps everything structured without friction. AI is used where it should be: to help you understand your time. You can ask: “Summarise my day” “Summarise my week” “What are my most important activities?” “What are my daily activities?” Rise analyzes patterns, distribution, and consistency — but it never decides your priorities for you. Widgets keep your time visible throughout the day. You can see how your time is distributed across activities and projects, run a timer for the current activity, and use Live Activities to stay focused without opening the app. On macOS, Rise lives in the menu bar with a timer for the current activity and the Operator — a guide that helps you understand and navigate your day. Built exclusively for the Apple ecosystem, Rise syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud, integrates directly with Apple Calendar, and uses Apple Intelligence for insights — all private by default. No accounts. No external servers.  In the AI age, taste determines what we build. But time determines what we become. Rise helps you choose both intentionally.
