Show HN: The 1 Day Protocol – An app for 24-hour psychological excavation (the1dayprotocol.vercel.app)

Dan Koe recently published a framework for resetting your life in a single day, based on the idea that behavior change fails because we're trying to change actions instead of identity.

I turned it into an interactive web app: https://the1dayprotocol.vercel.app

How it works:

Morning: 12 questions to excavate hidden dissatisfaction and define an "anti-vision" (the life you refuse to live) Day: Calendar events with scheduled interrupts to break autopilot thinking Evening: Synthesize insights into vision statements, yearly goals, and daily actions It's entirely local – no account, no backend, nothing leaves your browser. Your answers stay on your device.

There's also an optional AI reflection feature that acts as a Socratic mirror, challenging your answers without telling you what to think.

The premise is that most self-help fails because it targets symptoms (habits, productivity) instead of the root (unconscious goals and identity). This tool forces you to sit with uncomfortable questions for an entire day.

Curious if anyone has tried similar "structured introspection" approaches – or if this just feels like a fancy journaling app.
