Premium isn't a different app — it's the same engine with memory. It remembers your history, trends, plans, and settings, so this week's work builds on last week's.
Free — forever
Real sessions, real recommendations — fresh every visit.
Premium
Everything free does — plus memory, so improvement compounds.
Two plans, both honest. No countdown timers, no "limited offer." Free is genuinely useful — that's the pitch.
Lapsed Premium keeps everything readable. Your sessions and rounds don't get held hostage — you just stop adding to the record until you return.
ASCND is local-first: it runs no cloud sync and has no practice-data backend, and it does not upload your practice off-device — not to a server we monetize. Your own Apple-controlled device backup may include app data when you enable one. Premium pays for continuity, not for your data.
Every feature, both tiers
Free is the entire practice engine — nothing is crippled, it just starts fresh each launch. Premium is the same app with memory: your record, trends, and adaptation persist and compound over time.

No cloud sync — ASCND runs no server behind your practice data. It lives in the app on your iPhone; if you use iCloud Backup, it's included in that backup and comes with you when you set up a new iPhone.
