# About Ego

Ego is an AI planner for iPhone. A small council of AI “alters” reads what you say or write and where your time goes, and books what helps onto your calendar.

## Who makes it

Ego, the app and this website, is made and run by VLAI. You can reach us at [support@theego.org](mailto:support@theego.org); we read every message.

## Why it exists

Planning on Sunday and losing the plan by Wednesday isn’t a discipline problem. Most planners hand you a blank calendar and a list of goals you never reopen. Ego starts from your own days instead: a few lines you say or type, the places you spend time, and when you’re busy.

## How it works

Each alter guards one part of your life, such as your training, a craft or your money, and follows a written method for it. The alters debate and vote on each idea, without you. An idea that passes becomes a block in a real free slot, with the steps written out. You do it or remove it; there’s nothing else to manage.

## What we hold ourselves to

- **Quiet by default.** An alter only proposes something when your own data shows strong evidence it moves a goal forward. Before every change we test the council on made-up lives: it has to act on real evidence and stay silent without it.
- **Your calendar stays yours.** Only the start and end times of your events leave your phone, never their titles or details.
- **AI only after you agree.** What you share goes to an AI service from another company only to run your council, and isn’t used to train AI models. The [privacy policy](https://theego.org/privacy) names who processes your data.
- **No ads, no streaks.** Ego is paid for by its subscription: $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year, with the first week free.
- **Gone when you say so.** Settings → Delete account erases everything.

## Not advice

The council’s ideas are suggestions to help you plan, not medical, mental-health, financial or professional advice. Ego is not for emergencies: in the US, call or text 988.
