Getting Started

What asambl is, how to install it, and what your first run looks like.

asambl is an AI-powered desktop Life OS. It turns the parts of life you care about into a plan for the week ahead, built from your priorities, your calendar, and your energy, then handed back to you to edit.

Your vault stays on your machine. When AI is on, only the prompt for that specific request goes to asambl's managed AI endpoint, and it is not stored long-term. You can switch AI off entirely; semantic search and embeddings run locally on your device.

Install

asambl is in invite-only beta (currently v0.2.20-beta) for macOS and Windows. Join the waitlist to get an invite; the waitlist issues your beta key. Once you have it, download the current build from our GitHub releases, open it, and activate with your beta key.

asambl is in active beta and updates often. See the Changelog for what shipped in each build, starting with v0.2.20-beta.

Your first run

The first time you open asambl it walks you through a short setup:

  1. Pick your life areas. Life Planner is always on. Add any of Work and Career, Health, Finance, Relationships, Joy, or Growth that you want drafted alongside it. You can change these later.
  2. Add the essentials. A few quick fields per area you turned on, so the planner has real context to work from. Skip anything you would rather leave blank.
  3. Consent to data handling. A plain summary of how asambl handles your data, with an explicit opt-in for the health, fitness, relationship, and financial information you choose to enter.

That is it. asambl indexes your setup and drops you on your home screen.

The home screen

Your home screen is the calm overview of the week:

  • My Day shows your top three priorities for the week and today's schedule.
  • This week's plan links to the latest plan asambl drafted with you.
  • Up next surfaces the small set of things worth doing now, like filling in a profile or running your week.

From here you can capture a thought, run your week, or open any life area. The rest of these docs walk through each of those in turn.
