Who it is for

The solo operator, founder, executive or project lead who juggles tasks, notes, goals, habits, a calendar, a budget and a small pipeline, and wants one cockpit over all of it. Small teams who share assignments and keep their own workspaces private.

Who it is not for

Organisations that need enterprise resource planning, portfolio governance or time-and-billing. Teams that want a shared sales CRM, which is Velocity. Anyone who wants an app to move their money for them.


Why LevelUp exists

Six tools, six logins, and the real picture scattered across all of them.

Most productivity apps solve one problem and create another. A task manager that doesn’t know your calendar. Notes that never connect to the project they were about. A budget in a spreadsheet nobody opens. LevelUp is built on three ideas, and every page follows from them.

Capture is cheap, sorting is deliberate

Getting a thought in takes two seconds: a keystroke from any page. Deciding what it means happens later, in a review, when you have the whole picture in front of you.

Links are the point

A task, a note, a meeting, a goal, a project and a contact can all reference each other. A pile of items is a to-do list. A linked pile is a second brain, and it is what makes the AI genuinely useful, because it can follow the threads.

Reviews keep it true

A workspace nobody reviews becomes a graveyard within a month. LevelUp builds the daily, weekly and monthly rhythm into the product itself, with guided tours, a Routines section in Help, and an assistant that can run the review with you.


What’s inside

Thirty-two pages, organised into six groups in a collapsible sidebar. Nobody uses all of them, and that is what the detail dial is for.


Money

A complete personal-finance system, not a widget.

Ten tabs: Overview, Income, Transactions, Budgets, Bills, Accounts, Goals, Forecast, Agents and Reports. Private by default: not visible to admins, not to anyone you have not explicitly shared a budget with.

  • Accounts of every type: checking, savings, credit, loan, investment, cash, with APR and limits.
  • Bank sync through SimpleFIN Bridge. One connection covers every institution, with automatic daily pulls.
  • A rules engine that categorises payees automatically, including regex patterns. AI auto-categorisation of everything uncategorised. CSV import with column mapping, split transactions, cleared-flag reconciliation and recurring-charge detection.
  • Budgets with a per-month plan, income streams with expected versus received, and bills with due-day, autopay, auto-matching to bank transactions, price-increase alerts and one-click mark paid.
  • A 12-month forecast, per-debt payoff plans with APR amortisation, and a debt what-if simulator: snowball versus avalanche.
  • Four agents that run daily and surface findings into the notification bell, with AI deep-dives: Smart Bill Manager, Budgeting Agent, Investment Assistant and Financial Health Monitor.
  • Sixteen reports, each with an AI insight: Monthly summary, Budget variance, Spending by category, Spending trend, Income vs expenses, Income by stream, Debt overview, Debt payoff order, Upcoming bills, Largest expenses, Net worth statement, Year-to-date, Savings goals check, Fixed vs flexible, Credit utilisation and Category trend explorer.
  • Net-worth history, savings goals, and a right rail with month status, bills due and a free-form Ask about your money box.
  • Sharing: share a whole budget with a specific person, view-only or edit. Nobody else sees it.
  • Never a bank. Money reads accounts through a read-only bridge. It never initiates a payment or a trade.

The assistant that acts

Say it in plain words. Approve the card. Done.

Open it from any page with Ctrl or ⌘ J, the ⚡ button, the ✨ menu in the top bar, or the command palette, and say what you want.

It creates things.
Tasks with subtasks. Projects with their first tasks, inside a program. Notes, mind maps, ideas, goals with milestones, habits, journal entries, contacts, pipeline opportunities, calendar events and focus blocks.

It works with your money.
“Log $42 at Costco under groceries.” “Add the internet bill, $80 on the 15th.” “Am I over budget anywhere?” “Mark rent paid.”

It moves things along.
Completes tasks, checks in on goals, ticks habits, advances a deal to the next stage, moves an idea from Spark to Develop.

It connects things.
Task to note, task to goal, note to project, project to program, in both directions.

It builds reports.
“Add a widget showing overdue tasks by project as a donut.” Saves the layout under a name. Opens any saved or Money report. Summarises what the numbers say.

It tells you what to do next.
“I feel behind, help me get back on track” reads your overdue list, today’s capacity, goals, habits and bills, recommends one concrete next step, and offers to do it.

It never guesses.
If a detail is missing it asks, with tappable options. Every change appears as an Approve these actions? card before it runs. Untick what you don’t want. Deletes always ask, even with auto-run on. Every change has an Undo. Names work anywhere an id would, and when two things match it shows you the candidates instead of picking one.

It knows the product.
Ask how to run a weekly review and it answers from the Help Center, naming the page and the keystroke, because the Help Center is its knowledge base. A second surface, Ask LevelUp (Ctrl+/), searches everything you have captured and answers with numbered citations that open the source item.

Forty-five assistant actions cover every entity, Money, reports, linking, navigation and the workspace. Bring your own key for every AI feature: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini. Keys are shared at the workspace level and never leave the server. A default output length (short, medium, long) applies everywhere the assistant writes, with a per-editor override.


Make it yours

Nobody uses all thirty-two pages. Everything can be hidden, re-ordered or re-coloured, and nothing is ever deleted.

The detail dial

One control, five stops: Essentials (5 pages), Simple (7), Balanced (11), Full (20), Everything (25). Pages are hidden and come back with a click.

Role presets

Everything, Focused, Balanced, Executive, Project Manager, Creator, Personal. Each a starting layout you then adjust page by page.

Every page is customisable

Show or hide any page, its right rail, and each section in that rail. Home and Tasks have their own widget pickers with reordering. A Customize this page button lives in every rail. Layouts follow you between devices.

A guided setup

New members get a five-step wizard (detail level, preset, sidebar) and then a tour. Workspace owners can publish a team starter layout so every new teammate begins the same way.

Themes

Eight presets, fourteen granular colour pickers, twenty-four per-page accent colours, saved profiles and a time-of-day scheduler. Four designed directions on top: Aurora Glass, Daybreak Pop, Chromatic Bento and Electric Ink. Dark and light with one click. Compact mode. Display scale.

Keyboard-first

Ctrl/⌘ K command palette for navigation, creation and tools. Ctrl/⌘ J assistant. Ctrl/⌘ N quick capture. Ctrl/⌘ / Ask LevelUp. ? shows every shortcut. Universal search across everything from the top bar.


Built for teams, careful about privacy

Everyone sees their own items plus what is assigned to them.

  • Invite teammates; assign tasks, projects, programs, mind maps, notes and reports to one or several people with a primary responsible.
  • Everyone sees their own items plus what is assigned to them, and what they have delegated out. Only the workspace owner sees everything. Admins can take ownership or delete shared items, but get no default visibility into a teammate’s workspace.
  • Share notes, sheets and decks with a single person, with view or edit rights, or with everyone.
  • Money is never visible to anyone you have not explicitly shared it with. Not even admins.
  • Sign in with email and password or Microsoft 365. Sessions are cookie-based and expire.
  • Switching accounts on a shared computer wipes the previous account’s local cache before anything loads.

Works with what you already use

Automation rules run every fifteen minutes: when a task goes overdue, is completed, or an external status changes, add it to My Day, tag it, or change its priority. A daily digest and a weekly review email, with an AI reflection, three picks for the week, and a money block with bills due and budget status, arrive on the schedule you set.

The charter

What it holds, and what it will never become.

Every accepted request for LevelUp cites one of these lines. Every decline cites the line it would break. The steward reviews the charter with the community once a quarter.

The opinions it holds

  • Capture is cheap, sorting is deliberate. Getting a thought in takes a keystroke. Deciding what it means happens in a review.
  • Links are the point. A task, a note, a goal, a project and a contact reference each other in both directions. That is what makes the assistant useful.
  • The weekly review is the keystone. Everything else degrades without it. The product builds the daily, weekly and monthly rhythm in and will not remove it.
  • The assistant acts, but asks first. Every change is an approval card. Deletes always ask. Everything has an undo. When two things match, it shows the candidates instead of guessing.
  • Money is private by default. Not visible to admins, not visible to anyone it was not explicitly shared with.
  • Nobody uses all of it, and that is fine. The detail dial hides pages. It never deletes them.

What it will never become

  • An enterprise work-management platform. It mirrors Smartsheet and Nifty and syncs status back. It is one person’s view over the tools their teams already use, not a replacement for them.
  • A bank or a trading platform. Money reads accounts through a read-only bridge. It never initiates a payment or a trade.
  • A shared sales CRM. Contacts and Pipeline are personal scale. Velocity is the CRM.
  • A messaging product. Mail is a connected inbox with triage, not a chat platform.
  • A content publisher. Ideas start here and go to Publisher.

What members can ask for

In scope

  • A Home widget
  • A report template
  • A sheet or slide template
  • A review routine improvement
  • A sync with a task or calendar tool you already use
  • A Money report or agent

Out of scope

  • Team chat
  • Payment initiation
  • A website builder
  • Workspace-wide visibility for admins

How it fits the family

The personal cockpit. Pipeline work at team scale goes to Velocity. Articles and posts go to Publisher. Demo videos go to Producer Studio. Daily and weekly digests arrive here. These are workflow handoffs, not built integrations, until the changelog says otherwise.


The LevelUp queue · live

What members asked for in LevelUp, and what we did.

The problem Raised by Status Decided in Shipped
Decision notes never show up in the weekly review, so the same question gets re-decided twice and the reason is lost by Friday. LSI Media LLC Shipped 3 days 4 Sep 2026
The daily digest lists bills due but not the budget categories already over for the month, so I find out at the weekly review, a week late. LSI Media LLC Building 4 days behind a flag
Smartsheet tasks that change owner on the sheet keep their old assignee in LevelUp until the next full sync. LSI Media LLC Planned 6 days sprint of 15 Sep
Let admins see every teammate’s tasks by default so workloads can be planned from one screen.
Declined by the steward: only the workspace owner sees everything; default admin visibility into a teammate’s workspace is out of scope in the charter.
LSI Media LLC Declined 2 days –

Every request gets a decision within ten business days. Declines are public, with the reason. Shipped entries name the member who asked.


The routine

Ten minutes a day. Thirty a week. Adopt one thing: the weekly review.

1

Daily · 10 minutes

Five in the morning: open the Planner, check capacity, pick three. Five at shutdown: tick honestly, capture loose ends, one journal line with a mood.

2

Weekly · 30 minutes

The keystone. Inbox to zero. Re-decide every overdue item. Confirm every project has a next action. Check the goals moved. Plan next week.

3

Monthly and quarterly

A monthly pass over Reports, Money and goals. Once a quarter, reset the whole workspace: retire what ran dry, turn one thing back on.

Help also ships a two-week ramp for new users, a where-does-this-go decision rule, and a recovery playbook for when it stops working. If you adopt only one thing, make it the weekly review. Everything else degrades without it.


Help, built in

LevelUp ships its own manual.

  • An in-app Help Center with 14 categories and 60 articles, exported from the app build and kept as the assistant’s knowledge base.
  • Five guided tours, in-app search, and an AI answer box.
  • A Routines & Mastery section with the daily, weekly and monthly rhythms, and a Your Workspace section on showing only what you use.
  • Every changelog entry that changes LevelUp links to the help article it changed.

LevelUp is included in every membership.

Your subscription funds the team that builds what you ask for. No metering, no credits, no tokens inside the app: it runs on your own AI keys.
