KINETIC CURRENT
Energy telemetry for people whose fuel gauge doesn't behave.
Check in, watch your reserves move, learn your patterns — no account, nothing to install, completely local-first.

WHAT IT DOES
At its core, Kinetic Current answers one question honestly: how much do you have in the tank right now? You check in — in ten seconds or under a minute — and the engine turns your state into a live readout across four dynamic reserves:
Track activation energy, cognitive friction, and hyperfocus tax.
Log raw bodily stamina, fatigue, and recovery pacing.
Monitor noise, light, and environmental overload before a sensory crash hits.
Treat "my social battery is fried" as a measurable reality, not just a figure of speech.
HOW IT WORKS IN PRACTICE
Three legible zones (Depleted / Operational / Surging) so "running on fumes" finally has an exact number.
Two-tap Quick mode when you're busy, step-by-step Guided mode, full Freeform mode, and a zero-friction Emergency mode for when you're completely executive-locked.
Heuristic prompts that detect asymmetric battery drains and nudge you to refuel before you hit the wall.
Visual pattern recognition showing your high-drain triggers, recovery baselines, and what your output actually cost.
Your telemetry never touches an ad broker, tracking pixel, or cloud AI. It lives on your device.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone whose energy operates on its own terms:
- Navigating ADHD, autistic burnout, or executive dysfunction.
- Spoonies and chronic illness pacers managing finite physical capacity.
- Independent creators, developers, and night-shift operators tired of being ambushed by systemic crashes.
Non-Clinical Notice: Kinetic Current is a self-directed pacing and lifestyle framework. It is not clinical diagnostic software or medical treatment. It's an instrument cluster and a mirror — not a doctor. (full legal text)
SPRINT TO v1.0: KEEP KINETIC CURRENT FREE
Pacing infrastructure belongs in the hands of the community, not locked behind a predatory monthly subscription. Kinetic Current will remain free at the point of use with zero paywalled core features.
To fund full-time development, build turnkey multi-device sync, and deploy free hosted instances for the community, we are raising a $15,000 public release runway during ADHD Awareness Month.
DELIVERABLE SCOPE · RELEASE MILESTONES
Zero-dependency, offline-first PWA build with encrypted local storage persistence.
Architecting zero-knowledge PocketBase and Syncthing relays so users aren't locked into cloud silos.
Finalizing intake sheets, 4-battery session frameworks, and dual-licensing packages for ADHD coaches and therapists.
Maintaining the live hourly sandbox demo at reboot.nukirk.com and building out free hosted community instances.
FOR INDIVIDUALS & HOMELABBERS
Name immortalized in BACKERS.md and in-app credits + private dev logs.
Early rolling web sandbox access + direct feedback channel on calibration math.
Standalone pre-release PWA for permanent offline desktop/mobile use + migration tooling.
Turnkey PocketBase/Syncthing blueprints + 1-year access to zero-knowledge reference relay.
1-on-1 homelab setup session (Docker/ZimaOS/Linux) + advisory seat on suite roadmap.
FOR PRACTITIONERS & RESEARCH LABS
Official commercial client-use license grant, digital onboarding intake kits, and the clinical 4-battery session guide.
Turnkey Docker cohort containerization, deterministic anonymized JSON/CSV export schemas, formal research licensing, and grant-compliant invoicing.
