ExecCouncil
Goals, Focus & AI
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Use your voice and let The Council handle the rest:
They plan, review, course-correct, time-block, and coordinate to keep your goals moving.
ExecCouncil is the AI execution system for people who want their goals to move without babysitting another productivity app.
Speak a goal, routine, or idea, and ExecCouncil helps turn it into actions, habits, processes, time blocks, and daily guidance. Then it keeps adjusting as your priorities, energy, and schedule change.
Meet The Council
At the center of ExecCouncil is The Council: a team of AI counselors that work independently for you, then share context with each other to improve what comes next. One counselor can help plan, another can review your patterns, another can organize your routines, and another can guide your next move. The result is smarter support than a single assistant working alone.
What you can do with ExecCouncil:
- Capture goals, tasks, and notes with voice or text
- Break large goals into clear actions, habits, and routines
- Build an Ideal Day with automatic itineraries and smart time blocking
- Get automated daily guidance and weekly reviews
- See what to do next based on your goals, context, and available time
- Track time across goals, habits, and actions
- Ask AI questions about your real activity data to uncover patterns and improvements
- Keep critical guidance visible with Live Activities and Lock Screen support
- Stay motivated with XP, streaks, progress tracking, and completion history
Why ExecCouncil feels different
Most productivity apps give you lists and expect you to manage the system yourself. ExecCouncil is built to help run the system with you. It does not just store plans. It helps generate them, organize them, review them, and course-correct them when you drift off track.
Use ExecCouncil to:
- Start a new goal with less friction
- Build routines you can actually stick to
- Recover faster when your week goes off course
- See where your time is really going
- Turn ideas into consistent execution
Whether you are trying to improve your work, your health, your focus, or your day-to-day consistency, ExecCouncil helps make execution easier, clearer, and far more automatic.
more New Feature: Talk to the Council
You can now talk to the council and operate the app mainly through voice communication.

- New Luminary Focus Shifts: get timely guidance and momentum resets when you need help refocusing.
- Upgraded Routines Library: browse routines more easily and filter by context like time of day, location, and energy.
- Smarter routines: run daily routines, view step details, and use new process optimization tools to improve how your routines work over time.
- Step-level workspaces: open individual routine steps, get Council help for that step, and request more specific support right where you need it.
- Redesigned Time experience: the Time tab now gives you a clearer command center for Today, Recents, Templates, and your itinerary.
- Stronger Ideal Day support: improved itinerary views, timer flows, and day-planning support throughout the app.
- Better voice-driven capture: Archivist flows and memory suggestions are now more connected to habits, routines, and execution.
- Improved Live Activities and Lock Screen support: timer and guidance experiences are more reliable, with better delivery, diagnostics, and recovery handling.
Also included:
- Smoother Council interactions and visuals
- Better accessibility and interface polish
