How it works
You choose the signs.Balance watches for them.
Choose what it can see
Allow sleep, movement and phone-use readings one source at a time, or none. Check-ins alone are enough to start. Everything stays on your phone, encrypted.
Check in when you want to
Mood and energy in a few taps. Sparse is fine; the readings in the background fill in the days between.
Write down your own early signs
What did the start of your last low look like? Your last expansive stretch? Name the signs in your words. Balance watches for those.
See your story
Over weeks and months, a timeline builds up: your stretches, what was going on around them, and what tends to pull you towards one.
Get a nudge, and your plan
When your signs show up together, Balance tells you, and only you. Next to it is the plan you made for this moment, on a better day.
What it reads, on the phone
The first signs are oftenin how you sleep and move.
Every source is your choice, one at a time, and every reading stays on your phone. Together they give your story its context: what was going on around a stretch, not just how it felt.
Sleep
When you fell asleep, when you woke, how broken the night was. For many people sleep is the first thing to change, in either direction.
Movement
Steps and the days the movement simply doesn't happen. Read from your phone or the watch you already wear.
Daily rhythm
When your day starts and ends, and how much that drifts. A slow slide over a couple of weeks is easy to miss from the inside.
Phone use
Totals only: how much, and how late. Never which apps you opened, what you typed, or who you talked to.
Check-ins
How you say you feel. Everything else is context for this; your own account is the part that counts.
Voice, if you want
Optional. Features like pace and pitch are measured on the phone; the recording itself is never kept or sent.
