Fifteen minutes a day against your real commitments — not your memory. What moved yesterday, what matters today, what's in the way. The engineer's standup, borrowed for anyone running a practice.It reads where you keep things. It writes the day back.
It runs the standup.
It pulls your goal, walks your week, and answers the three questions out loud — against real state, not vibes. When something clears, it updates wherever you track it and writes the day back where you'll actually see it.
A reconstruction — a painter, a runner, a practice, a dev squad. Same ritual; only the work changes.
Your coach, or the one you don't have.
It runs the ritual either way — being the PM, coach, or accountability buddy you don't have, or taking the tracking off the one you do.
Be the one you don't have.
No PM, no coach, no accountability buddy — it runs the standup end to end. Pulls the goal, asks the questions, chases the state, writes the recap. The ritual happens whether or not anyone's there to hold it.
Alongside the one you do.
A scrum master, a trainer, a therapist setting homework between sessions — it takes the tracking and the recap, so they do the human part: the feedback, the judgment, the care.
Stand up to the room.
A distributed squad, a training group, or one person with no one to report to. Founders, freelancers, artists, athletes — stand up to the room for the accountability you'd otherwise never get.

Stand up to the room.
We're looking for anyone with a practice — teams, founders, artists, athletes, coaches — to run their daily standup in the room before it opens, and tell us where it's wrong. Leave an email and we'll wire it to wherever you already track things.
Real human on the other end. No list, no spam.
