Built for the hard seasons. Useful for every season.
A daily system that supports your whole life through the heaviest chapters.
A private Guide in your pocket — tracking your sleep, food, exercise, and money, connecting the dots and helping you stay steady one day at a time.
When the diagnosis comes — yours or someone you love — life doesn't pause. The bills don't pause. Sleep stops. You forget to eat. This is the app I built alongside my wife Kathleen, who has been navigating stage IV breast cancer for six years. I built it for her. I built it for me. I built it for everyone in a hard season.
"Every other wellness app tracks one thing. GroundworkOS tracks everything — and connects the dots between them."
Sleep, stress, and financial pressure aren't separate problems. They're one system. GroundworkOS is the first platform designed to treat them that way.
A daily system that improves sleep, reduces stress, and increases resilience in people under sustained pressure.
Who we built this for
Built for people carrying the most.
Patients. Caregivers. Employees under pressure. And the organizations responsible for supporting them.
"You're three weeks into your dad's diagnosis. You can't remember the last time you slept through the night."
Cancer patients & caregivers
Built from inside this world. GroundworkOS helps patients and caregivers maintain their daily foundation — sleep, stress, nutrition — through treatment and beyond.
"Your mom doesn't know who you are some mornings. You haven't eaten a real meal in a month."
Alzheimer's & family caregivers
Caregivers are among the most depleted people in any room. GroundworkOS gives them five minutes a day to track themselves — before they have nothing left to give.
"You're holding the team together at work and the bills together at home — and you can feel something quietly breaking."
People under sustained pressure
Burnout, poor sleep, and financial stress don't arrive separately. GroundworkOS tracks all three — and for the first time, shows you how they're connected.
How it works
Three minutes a day. Real visibility into your life.
No complicated setup. No hour-long sessions. Just a brief daily check-in that builds into something real over time.
01
Check in.
Talk to your Guide. No forms. No tracking. Just a conversation that captures everything — sleep, food, mood, movement — automatically.
02
Your Guide sees patterns you can't.
Over days and weeks, your Guide identifies connections you're too busy living to notice. Sleep that drops before hard financial weeks. Stress that precedes poor nutrition. The full picture emerges. Your Guide is powered by AI — trained on mindfulness practice, resilience research, DBT, somatic therapy, and financial wellness. Not a generic chatbot. A private companion that learns your specific life over time.
03
Act with clarity.
Clear, personal insights — not generic wellness advice. "Your food envelope is running hot this week." "Your sleep has averaged below your baseline for four days." Specific. Actionable. Yours.
The platform
One system. Six components.
Not six features. One integrated system. Each component feeds the others. That's what makes this different.
01
The Guide
The brain
An AI companion trained in mindfulness practice, somatic inquiry, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Your Guide holds your complete context across every conversation — health history, patterns, what you're carrying. It listens first. It remembers everything. It connects the dots no other app does.
02
Daily Rundown
The entry point
A 3-minute morning check-in. You talk, your Guide listens and logs everything automatically. No forms. No data entry. Just a conversation that builds your complete health picture over time — and gets smarter every day.
03
The Battery
The signal
Your daily score across five pillars: sleep, food, movement, hydration, and financial health. One number. Five inputs. A clear signal of how your foundation is holding — and where to focus first.
04
The Mirror
The reflection
Daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal reflection prompts. Morning Bell and Evening Bell. Five minutes of honest looking. The Mirror doesn't create anything new — it simply reflects what is already there.
05
The Gates
The rituals
Five domains of daily practice — Mind, Body, Spirit, Money, and Garden. Small repeatable rituals across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. Most of what the Gates ask, you're likely already doing in some form. The goal isn't more. It's intentional.
06
Money
The hidden driver
Financial stress is upstream of poor sleep, anxiety, and burnout. GroundworkOS connects your bank accounts securely through Plaid — mapping fixed obligations, tracking variable spending, and surfacing your financial health score alongside everything else. No other wellness platform does this.
Not just another wellness app.
It's a system for staying intact when life gets hard. One daily practice. Six integrated components. Your whole life, tracked.
The origin
Built from inside the hard season.
My wife Kathleen has been navigating stage IV metastatic breast cancer for six years — and we are still in it together. During this hard season, I realized that what holds a life together isn't one big intervention — it's a set of small, daily practices.
GroundworkOS is the system I built for us — and for anyone navigating their own hard season.
"Resilience is not the absence of difficulty. It is the practice of returning — again and again — until you find your footing."
The philosophy behind GroundworkOS
The invitation
The 14-Day Groundwork Challenge.
Fourteen days is all it takes to feel the difference. Not a trial. A challenge — with a guide, a daily practice, and a system that starts working from day one.
Day 1
Meet your Guide.
Tell your Guide what you're carrying. Your daily practice begins immediately.
Day 3
Your first pattern.
Three check-ins in and your Guide is already noticing things about your sleep and energy.
Day 7
The Mirror speaks.
A week of reflections. Your Guide references what you wrote. The system starts working.
Day 14
You won't go back.
Two weeks. Your Guide knows you. You remember what it felt like before — and you won't go back.
GroundworkOS is used by healthcare organizations, caregiver networks, and companies to support people under sustained pressure. One partnership can reach hundreds or thousands of people navigating hard seasons.
