About LifeLoad

LifeLoad is a native macOS app that helps knowledge workers understand and manage their cognitive load. We believe your calendar tells a story your schedule alone can't, and that burnout is preventable when you can see it coming.

We built LifeLoad because we kept hearing the same thing from engineers, designers, PMs, and founders: "I didn't realize how overloaded I was until it was too late." Traditional calendar tools show you what's scheduled. LifeLoad shows you what that schedule actually costs.

What we do

LifeLoad connects to your work calendar and detects unscheduled calls across Zoom, Teams, Meet, and more. It combines calendar events with self reported cognitive load ratings to build a personalized profile of your work patterns, recovery capacity, and burnout risk.

For individuals

See your cognitive load score, block focus time, track meeting analytics, and get AI-powered insights on how to manage your week. LifeLoad is free for personal use.

For organizations

Enterprise teams get anonymized, team-level cognitive load data to measure burnout risk and predict churn. Individual data stays private. Leaders see patterns and trends, never personal calendars.

Our principles

• Privacy first. Your data is encrypted, processed locally where possible, and never sold.
• No bots, no plugins. LifeLoad runs natively on macOS at the system level.
• Actionable, not passive. Block focus time, schedule buffers, and protect lunch directly from the app.
• Built for real life. School drop-offs, lunch breaks, and deep work matter as much as meetings.
