You're not lazy. You're overloaded.

You've tried the planners, the apps, the "just get up earlier" advice. None of it stuck — not because you lack willpower, but because those tools weren't built for how your brain actually works.

Some days you can conquer the world. Other days, getting dressed may be a win. You need a system that understands both of those days and doesn't punish you for the difference.

Steward is built for exactly this. It starts by asking how you're doing today — and plans around your honest answer.

Built different, on purpose

"What should I do right now?"

Steward checks your energy, your calendar (if connected), and your priorities — then gives you one clear answer. No decision fatigue, no infinite task list.

No shame, just support

No streaks. No guilt trips. No "you're behind" alerts. Steward meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

Your data stays yours

Your data stays on your device. AI features are optional and privacy-respecting. You own everything, always.

Built for your brain

Brain Operating Manual, energy tracking, flexible replanning. Steward is designed to be supportive for neurodivergent brains, chronic illness, and unpredictable days.

Now in Beta on iOS & Android — read the guide to get started.

Frequently asked questions

What is Steward?
Steward is a life operating system — part planner, part gentle coach. It helps you figure out what to do right now based on your actual energy, priorities, and capacity. Think of it as the kind, patient friend who helps you get unstuck without making you feel bad about it.
Who is Steward for?
Steward is for the overloaded — it's especially useful for those with ADHD, autism, chronic illness, or anyone whose energy and focus vary from day to day. If traditional productivity tools make you feel worse, Steward is built for you.
When will it be available?
Steward is currently in Beta on iOS and Android. Join the waitlist and we'll send you an invite to get early access.
How does Steward handle my data?
Privacy is a core principle, not an afterthought. Your data stays on your device by default. Any AI or cloud features are strictly opt-in, and you can delete everything at any time. We will never sell your data.
How much will Steward cost?

Steward is designed to be genuinely useful without spending a penny. Here's how it works:

  • Free trial (21 days): Full access to everything, including up to 5 AI assists per day.
  • Steward Core (one-time purchase, £7.99): All non-AI features, forever. Plan your day, run routines, use the focus timer, do weekly reviews, set reminders, and build your Brain Operating Manual — all on-device.
  • Steward AI (£7.99/mo or £59.99/yr): Core features plus AI-assisted capture, task breakdowns, and enhanced weekly reviews via our privacy-respecting relay.
  • Bring Your Own Key (£1.99/mo or £14.99/yr): Core features plus AI — using your own API key. Requests go directly from your device to the AI provider, never touching our servers.

For full details, see our pricing page.

What's the difference between AI and Bring Your Own Key?

Both options give you the same AI features. The difference is how your requests are routed:

  • Steward AI: Your requests go through our privacy-respecting relay to the AI provider. We don't store or log any of your data — it's forwarded and immediately discarded. This is the simplest option if you don't want to manage API keys.
  • Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Your requests go directly from your device to the AI provider. Nothing touches our servers at all. You manage your own API key and pay the provider directly for usage. This option costs less because there are no relay costs for us to cover.

Both options include all Core features. Choose whichever feels right for you.

What happens after my free trial?

After your 21-day trial, you can continue using Steward's core planning features for free with limited functionality. To keep full access:

  • One-time purchase (£7.99): Unlocks all non-AI features permanently. No subscription, no recurring charges.
  • AI subscription: If you found the AI features useful, you can subscribe to keep them. If not, the core app works beautifully without them.

There's no pressure and no countdown timer on your screen. When you're ready, the option is there.

Is my data private?

Privacy in ~20 seconds:

  • Your plans and notes stay on your device by default.
  • No ads, and no third-party trackers built into the app.
  • AI features are optional — you can keep them off, or use your own key if you prefer.
  • You stay in control: export or delete your data at any time.
