Explore how Waypoints maps

How the YearCompass ritual already guides you

YearCompass divides the ritual into three gentle moves: reflect on the past year, decide what the year ahead should hold, and pick a few bold intentions to carry with you. Waypoints is being designed around those same moves for a mobile reflection experience.

Past year review: revisit lessons, milestones, and the feelings you carried into the next chapter.
The year ahead: choose intentions, focus areas, and rhythms that make your upcoming year personal.
Magical triplets / big goals: commit to key themes, habits, or projects and watch them evolve.
