Why I built it
I build smart tools for a living. This time I built one for myself.
I started out in bioinformatics — teaching machines to find the signal in messy biological data. From there the work carried me through a lot of different fields, but the mission never really changed: build smart tools, and push what AI can actually do for the people using it.
At some point that mission turned personal. I care about longevity — not the magic-pill kind, but the boring, durable kind. And the more research I read, the clearer it got: there is no single hack. The compounding returns come from routine — measuring the right signals, training consistently, and learning from your own patterns over time.
But my own data lived in a dozen disconnected places. Sleep here, HRV there, a brain-training app that never talked to any of it. And almost none of it took the obvious step of connecting mind and body — even though recovery, sleep, and stress so visibly shape how sharp you feel.
So I did what I know how to do: I put AI to work surveying the literature, pulled together cognitive tasks with real scientific pedigree — the kind used to measure working memory, attention, and processing speed — and built them into a daily system alongside the health signals an Apple Watch already collects. Morning and evening routines to bookend the day. Plain-language insight instead of raw charts. And one non-negotiable: everything stays on the phone.
CogniTrack Pro is the tool I wanted for myself. If routine is the lever, this is the handle.
