Dark Horse Turn time into progress.

First iOS TestFlight now open

Time without intention has little value. Dark Horse helps ambitious entrepreneurs, founders and side-hustlers direct their attention towards what matters, turn time into progress and record the business journey while no one is watching, so there is a real story to tell when the results arrive.

Today

Your current focus, commitment window and next move.

  • I'm the kind of person I'm building Dark Horse for. A black-and-white founder portrait.
  • I'm not building Dark Horse because I've mastered discipline. A founder running along the beach.
  • I'm building it because I haven't. A person with an umbrella in a phone filled with water.
  • Is this still where you want your attention to be? A thoughtful founder portrait.
  • You can be ambitious and still get distracted. Dark Horse artwork over a black-and-white shoreline.
  • Built for ambitious people still figuring it out. A founder holding an umbrella in the ocean beneath the Dark Horse logo.

Built for the journey

It is short on protected attention and consistent action. Dark Horse helps you start, keep going and turn absorbed lessons into visible change.

What Dark Horse does

01

Attention-seeking apps pull time away from the goals you said matter. Dark Horse lets you create a customisable focus setup that can be adjusted as your season changes.

02

Record the journey

Dark Horse helps build a record of the work behind the business, giving founders a clearer story of effort, decisions, milestones and progress when it is time to reflect, pitch, partner or grow.

03

Clear patterns help you see where time is being used, when progress is happening and what practical next move deserves your attention. All done without any open AI systems.

Private by design

Dark Horse is designed so personal founder wording, business names, account details and exact entries are not included in anonymous product insight totals. There is no AI built into the app, helping protect your intellectual property, ideas and business journey. Dark Horse can learn what categories help improve the product without exposing the story you are building.
