Daily Review

Close your day with a brief reflection — what stood out, what you noticed, what you'd like to show up for tomorrow.

The Daily Review is an evening conversation that helps you close your day. It's not a productivity review — it's about presence and sense-making. It takes 3–5 minutes.

How It Works

1

Somatic Landing

"How are you landing right now? What's your body holding from today?" — same body-first approach as the morning, but tuned to the end of the day.

2

What Stood Out

Not "what did you accomplish" — "what caught your attention?" A sparkle, a snag, something unexpected. Alfie helps you look closer at one thing rather than cataloguing everything. One intentional exception is worth more than three listed ones.

3

Looking Forward

One thing you want to show up for tomorrow. Not a commitment — an intention. Alfie also asks what you can let go of tonight. This intention carries forward to your next Morning Check-in.

4

Close

Alfie reflects back what emerged and offers a ritual if the conversation had emotional weight. Or it just closes gently.

Why It Works

The review uses exception-spotting rather than comprehensive recall. Your brain already knows what mattered — it's the thing that broke the pattern, the moment that stuck. Chasing that exception is more meaningful than listing everything that happened.

Starting and ending with the body helps create a boundary between the day and the evening — a neurological "closing time" that supports rest.

When to Use It

Say "daily review" or type /review in the evening. The Daily Review also appears as a card on your home screen in the evening.

Your review gets saved. Themes and intentions feed into your Morning Check-in and Weekly Review, creating continuity without you having to remember.
