ΒΆ The almanac
Some weeks you can do anything. Other weeks, the same plans flatten you. Kizmit keeps a private record of how your days really feel, alongside the rhythms of nature, and shows you the pattern. So you know when to push, and when to rest.
Why I built this
Zenda Sims
Founder | Kizmit
For years I showed up the way the world wanted me to, and somewhere in there I started betraying my own cycles. Ignoring the signals. I was running on a 24-hour clock, the way we're all expected to, when my body was keeping a monthly rhythm instead.
I learned that some things aren't suited to a time of day so much as a time of the month. Perimenopause made it impossible to ignore. I couldn't understand why cleaning the house top to bottom, or working out three days in a row, or getting through a dense spreadsheet, felt effortless one week and insurmountable the next.
So I started noting how I felt about each thing I did, and the patterns surfaced on their own. The shame of a missed workout, or of a day spent bed-rotting, went out the window. Because sometimes that is exactly what your rhythm is asking of you.
Kizmit is that noting, made simple. It reads the moon, the weather, and your own rhythm, and hands your patterns back to you. Not a prediction. A mirror.
How it works
Day to day, Kizmit is a calm place to notice how you're doing. Kept up over months, it becomes a mirror that knows you well enough to look both ways: back, at the patterns in your own record, and forward, at what those patterns suggest about the days ahead. It only ever reflects you.
01
Today is where you land: your agenda and the day's terrain in one calm view, with your daily check-in a tap away. Your real days show up here because Kizmit reads your calendar, so you have something true to reflect against. The terrain is the moon's actual phase, the barometric pressure, the state of the sky. Kizmit doesn't tell you what a falling barometer or a waning moon will do to you. It records the terrain so that, in time, your own data can answer that for you.
02
Once a day, Kizmit asks how it actually went, across six dimensions: sleep quality, energy, mental clarity, social battery, movement, and mood. You answer by tapping, not typing. No scores come back, no streaks to protect, and a skipped day is just a skipped day. Most days it takes under a minute, which is the point: an honest record is one that's easy to keep.
03
Step back and your week lays out in one view, each day with its events and its terrain. After something happens, give it a tap: did it land with you, or against you, or somewhere in between? No rating out of ten. Just your own honest read, one event at a time. Mark the things that count, and skip the ones that don't (that's what "n/a" is for). None of it is graded. You're simply observing your day, leaving yourself an honest note about how it actually felt.
04
Do this for a while and the marks start to add up to something: a picture of what genuinely aligns with you, and what quietly doesn't. Not because Kizmit decided. Because you did, one honest mark at a time. When enough of your own entries have accumulated, Insights begins reflecting them back: gentle leans drawn only from your record, worded tentatively, because a pattern is a hypothesis about you, not a verdict on you. Until your data has something to say, Insights says nothing. We think the empty state is a feature.
05
A record deepens. Once yours holds enough history, Kizmit can begin to look forward as well as back: noticing, quietly, when something on your calendar tends to land hard, and leaving you the choice of what to do about it. These reads only appear when your own history can support them, never before. The mirror earns the right to speak, and it stays quiet until it has.
None of it arrives on day one. That's the promise: when something finally surfaces here, it surfaced because your record put it there.
I.
The moon moves through its full cycle every 29.5 days, and while tonight's phase is the same over everyone's window, how your own sleep, focus, and momentum move against it is personal, and it's yours to notice over time.
II.
Barometric pressure is the weight of the air outside your window, rising and falling as weather comes and goes. Some people notice it in their sleep, their focus, even a headache before the sky changes. Kizmit helps you see whether you're one of them.
III.
Optional. If you menstruate, noting your cycle gives Kizmit one more rhythm to read your days against. Nothing is named or predicted, just a quiet marker in the background. The forecast runs with it or without it. This app is built for everyone.
Forecasts get sharper the more you check in.
