It is a practical system for replacing drift with direction, standards, action, evidence, and honest review. The book contains 99 principles; the web app turns those principles into repeatable fieldwork.

A free account includes the one-question profile, a personalized seven-day path, daily guidance, private one-tap check-ins, personal progression, and the first three principles.

You describe your current life, strengths, friction, and desired direction in one text field. Northbound sends that description to OpenAI server-side and receives a schema-validated profile and seven bounded challenges. Response storage is disabled. If generation is unavailable, a safe starter path keeps the app usable.

The one-time Payhip purchase unlocks all 99 principle practice pages and the complete PDF edition in your account. It is not a recurring subscription.

Use the same verified email for Payhip and your account for automatic linking. If the addresses differ, we send a secure one-time claim link to the purchase email.

No. The MVP score and evidence history are private. They exist to help you navigate your own practice, not compare your worth with another person.

Return without punishment. Northbound does not subtract points or shame interrupted streaks. Your current challenge remains available, and partial progress can be recorded with one tap.

Yes. Signed-in members can export application data as JSON or permanently delete their Northbound practice data from Settings.
