Calm, minimal, Today-first — the client app screen set.
A trainee-facing concept built from first principles: a "one thing, ever" Today home, a coach thread one tap away, a guided workout session, and an onboarding that teaches the loop by running it once. This is the selected client mobile direction — an exploration to pressure-test, not committed scope.
Accent is brand periwinkle #9193FD, the decided colour. Because white text on it is only 2.70:1, the palette is a two-step system: the periwinkle fills at most one hero surface per screen — reserved here for the resumable-session dock — and carries ink text (#251F5C, 5.45:1), while buttons and small controls that carry white text use the darker #4E49E1 (6.24:1). On dark, the periwinkle has room to be the accent itself. The neutrals are a theme canvas — this page adapts to light and dark. See the brand colour standard for the full ramp and pairing rules; type and imagery are still open.
Today
The home surface. Never more than one thing to do on screen — shown across its states, including a session paused and docked for resume. Repeatable habits (water, steps) live in a quiet tray below the card — a habit never becomes the card itself.

The coach thread
The A-seam: a focused conversation, one tap from the avatar. It invites and reflects, but never carries the instruction to act.

How did upper body feel?

Onboarding
First-run teaches the loop by running it: meet the coach, then do one real action before ever reaching Today.

Meet Ahmed, your coach
"Hi Sam — glad you're here. We'll keep this simple: one thing a day, and I'm right here whenever you need me."
Most days this takes two minutes. We'll tell you when there's something to do.

Notifications
The app is closed most of the day, so the notification is the product surface. Every ping is coach-framed, and simple check-ins are answerable inline.

Journey
The quiet third surface, off the main path — where the data we keep off Today lives. Momentum is accumulation, never a streak that punishes a gap.
