The First Daily
Cognitive Vital Sign

A 60-second morning ritual for your mind.
No scores. No judgment. Just presence.


Totem — A ritual device for your mind

🪨

A Physical Object

Not another app. A hand-sized device that sits on your desk — solid, substantial, intentional. Like a modern worry stone that knows you.

60 Seconds Daily

Every morning: press buttons in response to patterns and lights. Reaction time, memory, focus. The ritual measures your cognitive state silently.

🎯

No Daily Scores

You get tactile satisfaction — button clicks, warm vibrations, a satisfying thud when complete. No grades. No anxiety. Just done.

📊

Patterns Emerge

Over weeks, discover what affects YOUR mind: sleep quality, stress, nutrition, routine. Not advice — insights from your own data.
