Private by design

You're always in control

Your data is never sold

Your daughter mentioned poster board. Thursday. Before school.

The contractor said "sometime next week." Follow up Monday.

Your boss expects the report Friday. Your partner needs you present Thursday night.

The car registration expires this month. You keep forgetting to check when.

Mom's birthday is next week. She'd love a call, not a text.

That insurance claim still isn't resolved. It's been three weeks.

Did you ever reply to Sarah's text? It's been four days.

Your brother's been quiet lately. Something felt off last time you talked.

What if you could just... be?

Built around how life actually works.

Not productivity advice. Not task management.

The whole person

Work, life, care—they overlap. Backlit is designed around the reality that you don't live in one role at a time.

Always in context

Backlit holds why something matters, who it affects, and when it needs attention—so nothing arrives as a surprise.

Relief, not more effort

Backlit feels like something's been lifted, not added. No new systems to maintain.

It works like this.

No complex setup. No new habits to build. Backlit adapts to you as you live your life.

Hand it off—as-is

Forward an email, snap a photo, drop a voice note. Messy, incomplete, mid-thought—it doesn't matter. Just get it out of your head.

Backlit connects the threads

Each thing becomes a living thread—connected to the people, timing, and context in your life. Nothing quietly disappears. Backlit carries it forward until it's truly resolved.

Summoned only when it matters

Backlit works quietly in the background. When something genuinely needs your input, it surfaces with the thinking already done—a drafted reply, outlined next steps, a summary of what changed. You review and approve.

See where things stand

When you open Backlit, you see your whole world at a glance—what's happening, what's coming, what needs attention. Not a dashboard to manage. Just clarity, whenever you want it.

We built Backlit because we were carrying too much ourselves and felt there had to be a better way. The invisible work of remembering, tracking, and holding things together adds up quietly over time. We believe technology should carry that weight with care, not add to it—and never at the cost of your privacy. When we couldn't find a solution that worked this way, we built one.

Make space for what matters.

Backlit is built to support the thinking, tracking, and follow-through behind everyday life, so you can stay focused on what's important to you.
