How Know Your Ethos works
Most of us know what we believe. Our habits don’t always agree.
Know Your Ethos helps you name what matters to you: the values you make time for, the virtues you want to live by, and the person you want others to meet. Then it watches how you actually live, through short check-ins, your journal and a few honest tests. It shows you where your habits match your beliefs and where they don’t.

Three steps
Name what matters. Live your days. See the gap.
Step 1
Name what matters
Pick the values you make time for, the virtues you want to live by, and the person you want others to meet.
Step 2
Live your days
Short check-ins, your journal, and a few honest tests show how you really act. Speak or type. A check-in takes about two minutes.
Step 3
See the gap
See where your habits match your beliefs and where they don’t. Pick one virtue to practice this week. Then check in again.

Meet your Daimon
The old Greeks used the word daimon for the inner voice that knows what you could become. In Know Your Ethos, the Daimon reads your own words and shows you what keeps coming up.
It is a mirror. It does not give orders or advice.
