Everything they do, and further
Shtello One brings together what Motion, Sunsama and alfred_ do best, then goes further for the people who feel overwhelmed. Here is every feature, side by side, honestly marked.
How we go above and beyond
Three apps in one
Planning like Motion, a calm daily ritual like Sunsama and an inbox assistant like alfred_, in one app and one price, from $14.99 a month instead of about $80 for all three.
Built for overwhelm, not for planners
Let it out takes everything on your mind at once, by voice or text, sorts it and hands you one next step. None of the three starts from a brain dump.
Your whole life, not just work
Kids, school, home, health, side hustles and work in one place, with weather, travel times, holidays and Shabbat times built in.
It learns you, so you never write a prompt
A private knowledge bank grows with every conversation and can import what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok already know about you.
One honest recommendation
Help me decide gives one clear answer and the reason, including "this day is too full", instead of a menu of options.
Private by design
Everything you save is encrypted on your device with a key only you hold. We cannot read it, never sell it and never use it to train AI.
Nothing is sent without you
Drafts, invites and changes in other apps always wait for your approval.
Every device, even the car
Web today and installable on any phone. Store apps, Mac, Windows, Linux, Apple Watch, Apple TV, CarPlay and browser extensions are coming.
