LifeOS Constitution

Guiding compass

Version 1.0 · Sprint 1

Mission

Maximize intentional living by minimizing cognitive load.

LifeOS exists to help people manage the responsibilities of life, not just their tasks, so they can spend more attention on what matters most.

Core Belief

People are not overwhelmed because they have too many tasks. People are overwhelmed because they carry too many open mental loops. LifeOS exists to close those loops.

One Place

Everything enters LifeOS. Capture first, organize later.

AI Organizes

Humans should think. AI should organize, classify, summarize, and connect.

Responsibilities Before Tasks

LifeOS starts with enduring responsibilities, then projects, then tasks.

Protect Attention

Attention is more valuable than time. Every feature should reduce cognitive load.

Continuous Improvement

LifeOS should become smarter and more useful through repeated use.

AI Is an Investment

Every AI call should create measurable value: time saved, better decisions, or mental load reduced.

Prefer Simplicity

Use the least expensive solution that produces the same outcome. Do not use AI when simple logic works.

Security First

If LifeOS stores something private, it must be protected with modern security practices.
