Ascend brings exercise, sleep, nutrition, mind, habits and the people around you into one daily plan, with points for every step. Built in the EU, built to be walked together.
Meet Lumi, your AI friend who builds your plan with you.

Meet Lumi
Coming with early access Live: try it
A friend who knows the whole picture.
Lumi is the AI friend inside Ascend. Ask for advice at 2 a.m., talk through a bad week, or build a plan together. Lumi knows your sleep, your stress, your habits and your goals, so the answer fits you, not an average person.
Talk, not search
Ask anything about sleep, food, stress, habits, people or a goal you are chasing. Lumi listens first and answers in your language.
Plans you add with one tap
Lumi can suggest a day-by-day plan, a habit or a sleep goal. It appears as a card; nothing starts until you tap Add.
Knows what you track
Your profile, your logs and your progress shape every answer. No judgement about smoking, drinking or anything else; small steps that work for you.
Your choice, your data
Lumi asks for its own consent before anything is shared with the AI. Conversations are encrypted, never seen by staff, and yours to delete at any time.
Lumi is an AI, not a person, a doctor or a therapist. It does not diagnose or change medication. If you are in danger, Lumi shows you who to call, starting with 112.
LumiYour AI friend
You are talking to an AI, not a person or a doctor.
I keep waking up at 3 a.m. and can’t fall back asleep.
That’s draining. Your stress has been high this week and your last coffee is usually after 4 p.m. Want to try a calmer evening for a week?
Yes, but nothing complicated.

Morning cardio and evening strength counted by when you actually trained
Strength sessions with sets, reps and weight, from a library of 248 exercises across 8 muscle groups and 44 kinds of equipment

Sleep
The 10-3-2-1 rule, enforced kindly.
No caffeine 10 hours before bed, no food 3, no work 2, no screens 1. Ascend pre-fills what it already knows, from your last coffee to your last meal, and shows which habits actually move your nights.
Sleep debt, consistency and a score for every night
Sleep factors and correlations: late meals and alcohol are flagged automatically
Bedroom at 17–19 °C and ten minutes of morning light within an hour of waking, tracked

Mind
Two minutes can reset a day.
Stress is logged, recovered from and measured. Five breathing patterns, ten guided meditations, a focus timer and a brain dump keep the day from running you.
Physiological sigh, box, 4-7-8, coherent and energising breathing
Most important tasks, inbox zero and morning quiet time, each worth points
Stress recovery days, so a bad week is visible and finite
Fifteen stress-relief activities, from a nature walk to morning daylight, with the ones that lower your stress most for you

Self-programming
Tell it the goal. Get the days.
A short wizard turns a goal into a day-by-day programme of 7, 21, 30 or up to 90 days, generated with Claude. Offline, a template takes over. Every step lands in your daily tasks.
Five generations a day, programmes you can edit
Finishing a programme earns 50 points
Not a chat that forgets: a plan you can see, start and finish, and Lumi to talk it through

Music & environment
Set up the room, then the mind.
Eight things decide whether a room helps you think: daylight, fresh air, a clear desk, quiet, about 20–22 °C, the phone out of sight, a screen at eye level and something green. Tick them once a day; Ascend shows what you keep missing and, after a few weeks, how your focus minutes compare on well-set-up days.
A one-minute daily check-in with a practical tip for every item, plus optional readings for temperature, humidity, CO₂ and noise
White, pink and brown noise, rain, ocean and binaural beats for focus, calm and sleep, generated on the phone: no streaming account, works offline
Mix two sounds, set a timer with a gentle fade-out; listening time is saved with an optional mood check

The list hears first when community features open.
Privacy first
Your health data stays yours, in the EU.
Health data is special-category data under the GDPR. Ascend treats it that way from the first screen, not in a settings page you find later.
Explicit consent before anything is saved
Health data needs your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 9). Imports and sensitive habits ask separately.
Encrypted on the server
Health values, notes and journals are encrypted at rest, with key rotation.
Export everything
Your data as JSON or CSV, any time, from Data & Privacy.
Delete one area or all of it
Per-module deletion or the whole account, in one step, permanently.
Retention you choose
Keep history for 90, 180, 365 or 730 days, or forever. Accounts unused for 6 months are deleted after a warning email.
Operated in Slovenia, EU
Ascend is made and operated by Alcyone in Slovenia, under EU law, with a completed data-protection impact assessment.
Authorised staff can see summaries of progress to provide support. Every such view is logged.
Integrations
Plays well with what you already use.
Nothing to buy. Import what your phone already knows, look up what you eat and read, and export your calendar.

Questions
Asked before you asked.
Is there a social network?
A small one, inside the app. You can follow other members (two members who follow each other are friends), post what you did with a few photos or a short video, choose whether a post is for your followers or for every signed-in member, react to posts and share your own post on to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or WhatsApp from your phone. Posts never appear on the open web, and nothing you track is ever attached to a post. Members who post regularly and are followed by many hold an influencer badge. Circles and group challenges are on the roadmap.
Who is Lumi?
Lumi is the AI friend inside Ascend, built on Claude by Anthropic. It gives advice and helps you build plans from what you track. It is an AI, not a doctor or therapist, and it only proposes: plans and habits start when you tap Add. Lumi needs its own consent, and you can delete your conversations at any time.
Is Ascend free?
Yes. Every tracker, plan and insight is free, with no advertising. Ascend Premium (5.19 € a month or 51.90 € a year) adds benefits from partner providers near you; nothing that is free today becomes paid. Your data stays yours and exportable.
Do I need a wearable?
No. Everything can be logged by hand. If you use Health Connect or Apple Health, steps, sleep and markers can be imported with a separate consent.
Where is my data and who sees it?
Health values and personal notes are encrypted on the server. Authorised Ascend staff can see summaries of your progress to provide support, and every such view is logged. You can export or delete your data at any time in Data & Privacy.
Which phones?
Android and iPhone. Core features work offline and sync when you are back online. Store listings follow the early access period; the list gets the first builds.
Can I create an account now?
Yes. Create it on this website and use the same email and password to sign in to the app once you install it. Until the store release, your account page here lets you change your password, download your data or delete the account.
When does it launch?
When it is ready. The app, the backend and the privacy work exist today; the store release is next on the roadmap. Join the list and we will email you once, when early access opens.
Early access
Be among the first to climb.
One email when early access opens. No newsletter, no drip campaign, no sharing of your address.
