Getting started.
From zero to a working daily routine in one sitting. This page covers your account, the three ways to set up, and what a good first week looks like.
Where Kata runs
Kata runs on iPhone, with its own app for Apple Watch, on Android and in your browser. The iPhone app is in the App Store and the Android app in Google Play, both under "Kata", and the web app is at app.yourkata.com. It is the same Kata everywhere, reading the same account, and you can move between them any time: see Get the app.
1. Create your account
Create your account in the app or at app.yourkata.com: sign up, confirm your email, and sign in with email and password, Google, Apple or a magic link. Before the first screen you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy, recorded per version, and a short four-line walkthrough says what Kata is. The account carries your email and not much else: everything personal stays on your device. Forgot your password later? The sign-in screen sends you a reset link: see Profile and account.
Sign up with the same email address the invite went to, or through your friend's link. Your free month of Kata Plus lands once you confirm your email and get going.
2. Set up your way
Two minutes of setup, and you pick how. Set up via chat: Kata asks and you answer, your name, what you are working toward, how your days look, and everything saves itself. Guided setup: step by step through profile, phase and targets, supplements, movement, tone and connections. Or Bring it from another app: paste what your other app or AI assistant knows about you, and Kata keeps the parts that matter and leaves the old numbers behind. Whichever you choose, everything can be changed later in Settings.
Setup ends with one honest question about notifications: allow them and your daily line and reminders reach you outside the app; say not now and they arrive inside Kata instead. Then you enter Kata, in the chat.
3. Your first week
- Mornings: open Kata, read your daily line, weigh in if you like ("weighed 82.4").
- Through the day: mention meals, water and training as they happen. One sentence is enough.
- Evenings: close the day with the review: one tap says how it went, and your 14-day strip starts to fill.
By day seven Kata knows your shorthand, your day score means something, and the first trends appear. That is the whole trick: small, honest days, repeated.
