• StartTap Start on the task and choose how to focus: Classic (25 minutes on, 5 off), Deep (90 and 20), Open, or let VARO choose from your energy.
• Finish and say how it wentWhen you finish, VARO asks how it felt and leaves room for a note. Those answers adjust the curve for the rest of the day.
• Check inCheck in records your energy from 1 to 10 at any moment. The more check-ins, the better VARO knows your hours.
• What doesn't fitEach day has a limit of 175 points. What doesn't fit appears under Doesn't fit today; move it to tomorrow or to Someday. Nothing goes overdue.
• Low daysRecovery mode lowers the limit to 90 points, shortens focus blocks and counts walks and naps as rest.

• JournalIn the Journal tab you write free entries, with your energy and what you felt. Only you see them.
• Share with your AIIn You › Share with your AI, VARO creates a document called VARO Journal in your Google Drive and keeps it up to date with your journal, your energy check-ins and your tasks with their notes.
• Add it to your AIIn Claude: open your project, then Files, +, Drive, and paste the document's link. In ChatGPT or Gemini: connect Google Drive and add the same document to your project. You do this once.
• What is sharedYou choose: journal entries, energy check-ins and feelings, and tasks. You can switch each part off or stop updating the document at any time.
• Who sees itThe document is yours and private. Nobody else opens it unless you share it in Google Drive or add it to an AI. VARO can only touch the documents it creates itself.

• Where it's storedEverything is stored in the browser on your device. In this test version it isn't encrypted, and it isn't sent to VARO or anyone else.
• What leaves the deviceOnly what you switch on: reading your Google calendar and, if you create it, the VARO Journal document in your Drive. Both connections go directly between your browser and Google.
