Like many ambitious people, I built a reputation for getting a lot done. Over time, that ability to push through became both my strength and my weakness. By 29, I had burned out twice.
That forced me to rethink productivity. I started studying how cognitive energy works and how much it is shaped by sleep, context, and timing.
I reached one clear conclusion: productivity is not about squeezing more out of time; it is about managing energy. Focus, creativity, and judgement rise and fall through the day, and our best work happens when effort matches that rhythm.
That is why we built rivva.
rivva brings your email, tasks, and calendar into one system, then schedules work based on your energy patterns and real availability. The aim is simple: help you get important work done without overload.
What rivva does:
- Task management: Capture, organise, and schedule tasks in one place.
- Inbox: Extracts tasks from email, including meeting notes, Jira issues, and Notion comments.
- Energy insights: Connect your wearable and see when you are naturally sharpest.
- AI scheduling: Plans work around availability and energy patterns.
- Nia (AI chat): Create tasks, plan your week, set up meetings, or ask for guidance.
- Planner: Multi-calendar view with time-blocking and planning.
We built rivva for founders, executives, and high-output professionals who already work hard and want a system that respects how the mind actually works.
I would genuinely love to hear what you think. Try it out and tell us what feels useful, confusing, or missing.
