For coaching clients and their coaches
Keep an honest account of your working days.
Cheshbon is a quiet ledger. Log a moment from your work and how it left you. Over a few weeks, the pattern shows itself: the work that fills you, the work that drains you, and what that might mean for what you do next.

How it works
A minute a day. A clearer picture in a few weeks.
01
Log a moment
What you did, and how it left you, from drained to filled up. Add a few tags, who was in the room, and why it landed the way it did. It takes under a minute.
02
See the shape
Your ledger draws a waveform of your days: gold above the line for work that gave you energy, blue below for work that took it. The tags that fill you and drain you rise to the top.
03
Read the pattern
When you want it, ask for a written reading of your entries. It names what fills you, what drains you, the conditions that matter, and the shapes of work your entries point toward, citing the days it draws on.
The one question
How did it leave you?
Not how well it went, or how busy you were. Only what it did to your energy. Seven steps, from one end to the other.

For clients
On your phone, between meetings.
- Join through your coach's invite and sign in with your email. No password to remember.
- See your coach's focus for the week at the top of every log.
- Ask for a reading of the last 30 days, 90 days, or everything.
- Download your entries any time, or delete your account and everything in it.
For coaches
On your laptop, before the session.
- Invite clients with a private link, and see everyone at a glance: entries, last logged, average energy.
- Open a client's ledger to see their waveform, what fills and drains them, and every entry.
- Prepare in a minute: a short brief on what has shifted, the entries worth raising, and questions to ask.
- Set one line of focus for each client's week.
Privacy
Your entries are yours.
- Only your coach
- Your coach can read your entries only while you're connected. No one else can.
- Read, never changed
- Your coach can never edit or delete anything you've written.
- Disconnect any time
- One tap, and your coach's access ends that moment.
- Delete means delete
- Deleting your account erases everything: entries, readings, all of it.
Readings are written by Claude, an AI made by Anthropic, from your entries and the one line of context you give. Your name and email are never sent, and your entries are not used to train AI models.

Why “Cheshbon”
Cheshbon is Hebrew for an account, a reckoning. In Jewish tradition, cheshbon hanefesh, an accounting of the soul, is the practice of honestly taking stock of how you are living. This is a small, daily version of it: an honest ledger of where your energy goes.
Begin with one moment.
Cheshbon is in a small private pilot. Clients join through an invite from their coach.
