№ 01
the council
2 of 4 advisors
3 of all 26
unlocks twenty more advisors and a third seat on the bench. swap any time. they read your practice and your private writing and respond in their own voices — not quoting themselves, advising the way they would.
the bench
steve jobs · michael jordan · warren buffett · sara blakely · rick rubin · david goggins · alex hormozi · kobe bryant · naval ravikant · andrew huberman · james clear · brené brown · alan watts · socrates · mahatma gandhi · mister rogers · robin williams · bob ross · lebron james · tiger woods

questions on demand
1 per day
10 per day
bring whatever you're facing to the council — a decision, a stuck moment, a hard situation — and they respond. ten a day covers any real life; the cap keeps it deliberate, not a chat.
№ 03
insights anytime
3 per week
unlimited
generate the weekly read whenever your week earns one. the most honest mirror you'll have, on your schedule instead of someone else's.
№ 04
voice journal
3 entries/week
unlimited
speak instead of type. whisper transcribes whatever you said and drops it straight into the page, ready to edit. for the times the page opens and the words aren't coming yet — but you've been thinking about it on the walk.
// also included
five custom palettes — parchment, kraft, blueprint, ember, trench · full json export, anytime · no caps on habits, letters, kept lines, or mantras
// always free
the trenches is free to enter. sign in with your email — no password, just a magic link — and you get a 2-seat council from the four free-tier advisors (marcus aurelius, matthew mcconaughey, bruce lee, tony robbins), 1 question per day, 3 insights per week, plus the daily journal (write or speak up to 3 times a week, whisper transcribes), the daily drills (up to 3), letters to your future self (up to 5 active at a time), the curated fuel library with bookmarking (up to 15 lines kept), and the trunk of kept correspondence.
pro is what you graduate to. the full council, ten questions a day, unlimited insights, no caps on anything. for the ones still in it.
// frequent questions
what's the difference between an insight and a question?
an insight is the weekly read — the council reads your last seven days and tells you what you've been doing, what's working, what you've been avoiding. a question is on-demand — you write what you're facing and the council responds to that specifically. both are polyphonic; each advisor speaks in their own voice.
are the council voices the actual people?
no — they're interpretive. original advice written in the spirit and style of the named thinkers, grounded in everything publicly known about how they think and advise. not statements from or affiliations with them.
can i swap advisors after i pick them?
any time. seat any two (free) or any three (pro) from the bench of twelve — the council page lets you change the lineup as your work changes.
how does the voice journal work?
hit speak on the journal page, talk, hit stop. openai's whisper turns it into text and drops it into the editor so you can clean it up and commit. the audio is never stored on our servers — we discard it after transcription. free: 3 entries per week. pro: unlimited.
what happens to my data if i cancel?
nothing. your habits, letters, journal entries, kept lines — all of it stays on your device. pro features just turn off.
can i switch between monthly and annual?
yes. upgrade, downgrade, or cancel any time from your account page. switches take effect at the next billing date.
do i need an account to use the trenches?
yes — sign-in is a quick magic link to your email, no password. your work is tied to your account so it's there on whichever device you open.
