At Chronos we are building tools to help users make better real-world decisions through passively collected data. Our first offering is a mobile app that automatically captures how you spend your time. The app runs in the background on your phone and shows you where you've been, how much time you’ve spent amongst different activities (e.g., exercising, working), as well as how long you’ve hung out with specific friends. The app also allows you to set time-related goals (e.g., go to sleep before midnight) and helps motivate you to achieve those goals. Going forward, we are working to integrate a wide range of data sources to become the one-stop shop for all of your passively-collected personal data. This allows us to surface insights across isolated verticals (e.g., how the time you spend commuting affects your sleep patterns).

To help, She’s well started out offering subscription plans and concierge guidance to make fertility care more affordable and accessible to the 99%.
