Capture with less resistance
Use the app for thoughts, saved perspectives, highlights and short calibrations at the moment they happen.
Life by Elio · Private companion
Keep the private practice close—and keep the files yours.
The website is where you meet Elio’s public work and member experiences. The companion app is where your own unfinished thoughts, highlights and reflections belong.
Website + app
Two surfaces, each doing the job it is actually good at.
This separation is a product promise, not a temporary technical workaround.
Markdown is the source of truth
Every personal entry is stored as a plain Markdown file on the device, alongside a small local system file for app state.
Private by architecture
Private note bodies are not sent to Life by Elio or stored in its member database. Accounts and entitlements stay separate from note content.
Distil only when it helps
Highlights and reflections support a personal framework over time. Public work appears on the website only through deliberate authoring—not automatic exposure.
Current build
The first private loop is being used before it is sold.
Today, the companion covers local capture, highlights, editing and calibration. iCloud folder coordination and optional AI-assisted distillation will be added only after the local practice is stable and trustworthy.
