Getting Started
What asambl is, how to install it, and where to go next.
Plan the week outside work. asambl is the private weekly planner for everything your work calendar ignores. It drafts the week for the parts of life you care about, from your priorities, your calendar, and your energy, then hands it back to you to edit. You decide what goes in.
Your files stay on your machine. When AI is on, only the prompt for that specific request goes to asambl's managed AI endpoint, and Settings lists everything else that leaves, such as a web search. You can switch AI off entirely. See Settings for the full picture.
Install
asambl is a desktop app for macOS and Windows. Download it from asambl.app/download and the first 21 days are free, no card required. If you joined during the beta, your beta key still activates the app as before.
asambl updates often. The Changelog tracks the current version and what shipped in each build.
Your first run
Setup is a conversation rather than a form. asambl asks one question at a time, turns your answers into your life picture, and ends one click from your first drafted week.
See Your first run for what it asks and why.
Today
Today is your home page, and it leads with what the week needs:
- The week's plan. When the week is not planned yet, Today says so and offers Plan your week, or picks up a draft you left open.
- Schedule shows today's events and your Top 3 priorities for the week.
- This week links to the plan you committed, with its actions as a checklist you tick off through the week.
- Habits, Recent plans and your Life picture sit down the side.
The sidebar reads Today, Week, Quarter and Inbox, then Plan your week, your life picture and your life areas. From anywhere you can capture a thought, plan your week, or open any life area.
Where to go next
