## You are more than one thing you track.

People who take their wellbeing seriously usually run it across five apps: a workout log, a food diary, a medication reminder, a calendar, and a journal. Each one tells part of the story. None of them can show how a short night shows up in your training, or how a hard week shows up in your mood.

Moodwell gives those records a shared home: four layers (Fitness, Nutrition, Health, and Mindfulness) on one plan, one timeline, and one dashboard, with an AI coach that answers from your own logged data.

I build it end to end: product, design, engineering, AI, content, and go-to-market. It's the same operating model I bring to enterprise work, applied to a product I own outright.

## Principles

- **Useful before impressive:** Logging, plans, history, and progress all work without AI or credits. The everyday loop has to be fast before anything clever sits on top of it.
- **Clear about limits:** Models, AI suggestions, and incomplete source coverage are labeled so you can judge them. An estimate always says it's an estimate.
- **Your choices stay visible:** When a coach proposes a change to your plan, you review it before it saves. Nothing rewrites your record behind your back.
- **One connected record:** Workouts, meals, doses, and check-ins share one plan and one timeline, so the dashboard can compare this 30 days against the 30 before it.
- **AI on demand, not by default:** AI is a credit-metered tool you reach for: photo capture, routine drafts, reflections. Barcode, search, and manual entry never spend a credit.
- **Built to be found:** 184 pages, a markdown twin for each, and an llms.txt: the same AI discoverability playbook I run for enterprise sites.

## Page Sections

- **Fitness:** Set-by-set logging, weekly routines, and a strength index built entirely from your own log.
- **Nutrition:** Six capture methods, adaptive calorie targets, and meal planning on the shared weekly plan.
- **Health:** Medication, supplement, GLP-1, and peptide tracking, with a cited safety check that never fakes an all-clear.
- **Mindfulness:** One-minute check-ins, journaling, guided conversations, and 30 short wellbeing tools.
- **AI & integrations:** 13 coach personas with identical permissions, a credit model, review-before-save, and read-only Health Connect.
- **Discoverability:** 184 pages, a markdown twin for each, llms.txt, and explicit content signals for search and AI assistants.
