The basics

What is Procrastinate.ai?

An AI companion that helps you understand why you are delaying a task and decide what to do about it. It separates helpful delay (incubation, strategic postponement) from avoidance, and suggests the smallest useful next step.

Is it trying to make me stop procrastinating?

Not exactly. Some delay is useful: stepping away from a hard problem or waiting for missing information can be the right call. The goal is to make delay a choice you make on purpose, and to help when it isn't.

Who is it for?

Anyone aged 16 and over who wants a calmer relationship with their to-do list: students, professionals, creators, researchers and older adults. The interface supports larger text, high contrast and reduced motion.

Is it therapy?

No. Procrastinate.ai is a self-reflection and planning tool. Emotional check-ins help it make better suggestions, but it does not diagnose or treat anything. If procrastination is linked to ongoing low mood, anxiety or attention difficulties, a qualified professional can help.

How it works

How does it decide what to suggest?

A deterministic decision engine weighs ten independent dimensions, including urgency, consequence of delay, emotional friction, energy, reversibility and deadline proximity. You can always see which factors drove a suggestion. When you consent, AI adds a plain-language interpretation on top.

What is incubation?

Incubation means deliberately stepping away from a problem after working on it, so ideas can form in the background. Research suggests a modest but reliable benefit, especially for creative problems. The Incubation Studio time-boxes it and schedules your return.

Does it use streaks or points that can be lost?

No. The growth garden only grows. Intentional decisions and difficult starts add to it, and nothing is ever taken away.

Privacy and AI

Is my journal or emotional data used for advertising?

No. Journal entries, check-ins and conversations are never sold and never used for advertising. They are used only to provide the service to you.

Which AI providers do you use?

AI features use Anthropic or OpenAI models. Personal content is only sent to an AI provider after you turn on AI processing in your settings, and you can turn it off at any time.

Can I export or delete my data?

Yes. You can export your data and delete your account from Settings. Deleting your account removes your personal data from our database, apart from a minimal audit record kept for security and legal reasons.

Plans and pricing

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes the AI companion with a daily message allowance, tasks, focus sessions, a few incubation sessions per week and 30 days of insights. See the pricing page for current limits.

Which currencies and payment methods do you support?

Prices are shown in Indian rupees and US dollars. Payments in India are processed by Razorpay and international payments by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. You can cancel from the Billing page and keep your paid features until the end of the period you have paid for.
