BlackWing came out of two schedules that never fit inside a normal planner — professional sport on one side, a full academic load on the other.
Both of us compete at a professional level and study at a high level. BlackWing is the result of trying to do both at the same time.

Michael has spent years flying for games, sleeping in unfamiliar beds and trying to hold a full class load together with a professional season. His recovery numbers always told him something was off — they never told him what to do about it.

Cristian runs fight camp, sparring and weight management around university coursework. The work was never the problem — deciding how much the body could actually take on a given day was.

"The body keeps score whether or not you write it down."
Training, travel and exams on the same calendar.
We both live in two worlds at once. Mornings are lectures, readings and deadlines; afternoons are practice, film, travel and fights. The tools we tried kept those worlds apart — a calendar that had no idea we'd slept four hours, and a fitness app that had no idea we had an exam at eight.
The numbers were always there. Recovery, strain, sleep, heart rate. What was missing was the translation: given today's body and today's schedule, what should we actually do? Train hard, back off, eat more, sleep earlier, move the deadline.
So we built one surface that reads everything together. WHOOP and Polar data sit next to your calendar, tasks, notes and food log, and BlackWing AI uses all of it when it gives you a plan for the day — refreshed as your day changes. It's the tool we wanted at eighteen, twenty and every season since.
Recovery, sleep and strain sit at the top of every screen, so the day is planned around what you can actually handle.
Calendar, tasks, quick-capture notes, nutrition and training data in the same place instead of five apps that never talk.
BlackWing AI looks at your notes, tasks, timeline, sleep and food log before it tells you how to rest, train or eat.
Student-athletes, coaches and anyone whose schedule changes faster than a to-do list can keep up with.
Connect WHOOP or Polar, sync your calendar, and let BlackWing plan around your body.
