Would I stay late to finish this?
That’s the Going Home Test. One question at the junction decides the track. Ask it of any task and you know where it goes.

Kaia moves things. She shows her work.
Kaia is an optional AI planning assistant. When she changes a task on her own, she writes the reason on it and leaves an Undo right next to it. Turn on “Let Kaia run the method” and she keeps each zone within its limit.
- Signed. Her name, the time and the reason, on each task she changes on her own.
- Undoable. One tap puts it back, until something else changes the task.
- Asks first. When Kaia acts on her own, nothing in Critical Now changes without your OK.

Your tasks, habits, chores, grocery lists and timers are stored on your device. They sync between your devices when you’re online.
- On iPhone and Android, the app runs from your phone.
- On the web, once you’ve opened it online, it loads and works offline in that browser.
- On a computer, use it in any browser or install it from the browser as an app.
- Export your data any time as a standard SQLite file, or as an encrypted backup.
Kaia, sync, calendar connections and sign-in need a connection.
Your to-do list shouldn’t have a landlord.
Two stops. The first is all you need; the second is there if you want a helper.
Buy the app. Once.

Questions.
Does it work offline?
Yes. On iPhone and Android, the app runs from your phone. On the web, once you’ve opened it online, it loads and works offline in that browser. Kaia, sync, calendar connections and sign-in need a connection.
Where is my data?
On your device, and it syncs through our servers when you’re online. Export it any time as a standard SQLite file, or as an encrypted backup protected by a passphrase only you know.
What can I use it on?
The web, iPhone, iPad and Android. On a computer, use it in any browser or install it from the browser as an app.
Do I have to use Kaia?
No. Kaia is an optional AI planning assistant, and the app works without her. Every purchase includes Taste: 20 free Kaia messages a week.
What does it cost?
MYN Core is $59 once, with every update included. Kaia plans are optional, from $7.99 a month. The Family Pack and Founder’s Edition are on the pricing page.
What happens if I stop paying, or you go away?
Owned licenses don’t expire. If you own MYN, the app keeps working on devices you’ve already set up, even if our servers go away. You’d lose sync, Kaia, calendar connections and setting up new devices.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Every web purchase, the app or any Kaia payment, can be refunded in full within 30 days. No reason needed. Purchases are available in the United States only for now.
Where does the method come from?
The four zones and the Going Home Test come from Michael E. Linenberger’s Master Your Now method.
