How you’re running
Your biomarkers against your own 30-day baseline. Never a leaderboard. It comes first because the same day reads differently at 70% than at 100%.
100% on-device · zero cloud · no account
The quantified self, finally complete.
Your wearables measure your body. Hyperopt measures what it produces. Every morning, one screen: how you’re running, what yesterday cost, and the one thing to do first. All on your Mac.

PR #412 — you answered 2 of 4 review comments
Ana’s migration-window question, unanswered since Tuesday
design-review.md — stopped mid-sentence in “rollout”
Start here
Finish the two comments on #412 before 11:00 — Ana’s question depends on it landing. Don’t start anything new today: on your last 6 mornings like this one, you opened an average of 3 new threads and finished none of them.
On-device · nothing leaves this MacOne screen, once a day
Your screen and your biomarkers, in one place. Only yours.
Your screen is more sensitive than your heart rate. It never leaves your Mac. Local AI, no cloud, no account.
Always on, never in the way
Hyperopt runs quietly in the background from the moment you log in. Nothing to start, nothing to log, nothing to remember.
Local AI
All the intelligence runs on your Mac's own Apple Silicon. No Hyperopt servers exist to send anything to. No uploads, no telemetry.
Works without internet
Fully functional offline. Block it in your firewall, turn off Wi-Fi, and it keeps working exactly the same. That is the whole point.
Encrypted, and yours
Everything it learns is stored on your Mac, encrypted at rest. No account, no sign-up, and you can delete it all at any time.
The Morning Brief
One screen, once a day. Four blocks, no scrolling.
No dashboard. No feed. No chat. A finished brief at first unlock — read in ninety seconds, then out of your way. Everything the app does all day exists to make these four blocks right.
02
What yesterday actually was
Not “3h in Development.” Which service, which file, what shipped, what stalled. Time attribution you can check — and checkable is what earns trust.
03
What’s still open
The half-answered review. The unsent reply. The doc that stops mid-sentence. Surfaced from your screen, so nothing depends on your memory.
04
What to do first
One recommendation, not a list. A decision made for you, tuned to how you’re running — with the evidence count attached: “on your last 6 mornings like this one…”
How it works
Your ring measures the input. Hyperopt measures the output.
- 01
Biomarkers, measured
Your ring or watch does its job. The iPhone companion pulls your biomarkers from Apple Health — Oura, Whoop, Apple Watch, Garmin, all of them — and hands them to your Mac. Locally.
- 02
Work, observed
Hyperopt reads your screen, files, code changes, clipboard, calendar — everything you touch. No timers, no logging. Nothing leaves the Mac.
- 03
Morning, briefed
At first unlock, the two streams meet in one screen: state, yesterday, open loops, first move. Read it, close it, start.
- 04
Patterns, earned
After eight weeks of paired data, the large, stable patterns appear — the ones connecting your biology to your output. Slow on purpose.
All of it happens on your devices. Unplug your ethernet, turn off Wi-Fi. Hyperopt doesn’t notice.
The data
A day at your Mac is millions of data points. Hyperopt reads them all.
No tracker has ever seen this much of your actual work. Eight streams, captured continuously, correlated on-device with your biomarkers. That density is why the brief can be specific — and why the patterns are about you, not a population average.
Everything on screen
Every word you read, write, review, or abandon — OCR’d on the Neural Engine, every few seconds.
Every context switch
Each app and window change, timestamped. Real switches, not app-category buckets.
Files, code & changes
The docs you edited, the branches and PRs you touched, the build errors you hit.
Clipboard
What you copied and where it went. Concealed entries never captured.
Meetings & calendar
Every call transcribed and summarized on-device — Zoom, Teams, Meet, any app. Action items included.
Places
Home, office, travel — from your phone, mapped offline. Where you do your best work.
Biomarkers
Sleep, HRV, resting HR, activity, workouts — every wearable that writes to Apple Health.
How it felt
One optional check-in a day: focus, stress, mood. The label on all that data.

Meetings
Every meeting, transcribed and noted. Fully offline.
Meeting-notes tools upload your calls to their cloud. Hyperopt transcribes and summarizes on your Mac with local models — the audio never leaves the machine, and other people’s voices never touch a server.
Every app. No bots, no plugins.
Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, Slack, Discord, FaceTime — native, in the browser, even inside Citrix or VMware. Hyperopt detects the call from the audio itself. Nothing joins your meeting.
Zero cost while you talk
Recording uses about 1% of one core. Transcription waits until the call ends, then runs faster than real time in the background.
Who said what — from the wire
Your side and theirs are recorded separately, so attribution is fact, not a model’s guess.
Action items become open loops
What you promised in the meeting shows up in tomorrow’s brief. Nothing agreed on a call gets lost.
Design review — rollout plan
Google Meet · 42 min · 2 sides transcribed
Agreed to ship the rollout behind a flag on Thursday. Ana owns the migration window; the design doc’s open question on retries is resolved — exponential backoff, capped at 5.

Learning your patterns23 of 56 days
Nothing shown until eight weeks of paired biomarker-and-work data exist. A pattern you can’t trust is worse than no pattern.
After week 8
On days your HRV runs 15% below baseline, you switch context 2.4× more often and finish about half as much.
Observed across 11 days · your data only
Patterns
No horoscopes. Observations with a sample size.
A few weeks of n=1 data is noise — and you’d catch us shipping it. So the rules are strict:
Eight weeks before anything is shown
The wait is displayed while it accumulates. Credibility is built, not claimed.
Large, stable effects only
Marginal correlations are suppressed, not padded onto a dashboard. When in doubt: nothing.
Observations, never causes
“On your last 6 days like this one…” — always with the count. Never a bare confidence claim, never a diagnosis.
One optional check-in a day
Rate focus, stress, and mood with keys 1–5 — or don’t. It labels your data; it isn’t homework.
The iPhone companion
Your wearable already talks to Apple Health. That’s the whole integration.
The companion reads your biomarkers — sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, activity, workouts — from Apple Health. Oura, Whoop, Apple Watch, Garmin, Withings, Eight Sleep: they all just work. No vendor accounts, no OAuth, no third-party cloud.
The brief’s best moment is before you sit down. Read it on your phone, in bed, next to your recovery score.
Built for wearable owners. No ring or watch yet? The brief still works from your screen data alone.
Phone and Mac sync through your own iCloud Drive. There is no Hyperopt server.

The landscape
You have options. Here’s the honest map.
Wearable coaches measure your body and guess at your day. QS dashboards correlate health against app categories. Screen-memory tools record everything and hand you a search box. Hyperopt closes the whole loop: body and actual work, correlated honestly, one decision every morning.
| Hyperopt | Wearable coaches | QS dashboards | Screen memory | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it measures | Your body and your actual work output, connected | Your body only — the day is a black box | Health data vs. shallow app categories | Everything on screen, into a searchable archive |
| What you get each morning | A finished brief: state, yesterday, open loops, one next step | A readiness score and “take it easy today” | Dashboards and correlations to browse | A search box — you do the asking |
| Work context depth | Semantic: which file, what shipped, what stalled mid-sentence | None | “3h in Development” app buckets | Deep, but raw — retrieval, not judgment |
| Where your data lives | On your devices; sync only via your own iCloud | Vendor cloud, by design | Their servers, aggregated from vendor clouds | Local (varies by product) |
Wearable coaches: Oura Advisor, Whoop Coach. QS dashboards: Gyroscope, Exist. Screen memory: Screenpipe, Rewind. Comparison reflects publicly available information as of mid-2026; every product here is a reasonable choice for someone — this table is about who each one is for. Hyperopt complements your wearable; it doesn’t replace it.

FAQ
The questions you should be asking
Do I need a wearable?
Hyperopt is built for people who already track their biomarkers — anything that writes to Apple Health: Oura, Whoop, Apple Watch, Garmin, Withings, Eight Sleep. That's where the state block and the biomarker-to-work patterns come from. No wearable? The brief still works from your screen data alone.
Does anything ever leave my devices?
No. Capture, OCR, and the AI all run locally on Apple Silicon. There are no Hyperopt servers — no accounts, no analytics, no vendor OAuth. Phone and Mac sync through your own iCloud Drive. Block the Mac app in your firewall and it works identically.
Why do the patterns take eight weeks to appear?
Because a few weeks of one person's data is noise, and shipping noise makes the brief a horoscope. Hyperopt waits for eight weeks of paired biomarker-and-work days, shows only large stable effects, phrases them as observations, and always shows the number of days behind a claim.
Is this a medical or ADHD app?
No. Hyperopt is not a medical device and makes no diagnoses, treatment claims, or health recommendations. It shows how your measured biomarkers relate to your measured work, and helps you pick your first move each morning. For your health, talk to a clinician, not an app.
How does meeting transcription work — and is it legal to record?
Hyperopt detects a live call from the audio system itself — any app, any browser, even virtual desktops — records both sides locally, and transcribes after the call with on-device models. Audio and transcripts never leave your Mac, and microphone access has its own permission you grant separately. Recording laws vary by region: in many places you must inform participants. That's on you — Hyperopt gives you the switch, you decide when it's on.
What does it exclude from capture?
Password managers, private browser windows, and concealed clipboard entries are never captured. Exclude any app or website yourself — the list is shown before any permission is asked. Pause capture from the menu bar. Delete any time range permanently.
What is the battery and storage impact?
3–8% battery per hour of active use, throttled further on battery; OCR runs on the Neural Engine. About 250 MB of storage per workday — text and embeddings, not video. You control retention.
Why isn’t the Mac app on the App Store?
The App Store sandbox forbids the screen-capture access Hyperopt needs. So the Mac app is a notarized direct download with secure auto-updates. The iPhone companion does no capture and lives on the App Store normally.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) — Hyperopt runs on-device Apple Intelligence models. The companion needs iOS 18 or later. Apple's macOS 27 Siri features require M3+; Hyperopt's models don't.
