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 for macOS and Windows. Once you have an invite, download the app, open it, and activate with your beta key.
Your first run
The first time you open asambl it walks you through a short setup:
- Pick your life areas. Life Planner is always on. Add any of Health, Finance, Relationships, Joy, or Mind that you want drafted alongside it. You can change these later.
- 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.
- 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.
