What we know
What we know,and what we don't.
In plain language, from living with it and from listening to people who do. No promises: Balance is there to help you understand your own pattern, and nothing more.
Balance is a wellness app, not a medical device, and not a crisis service. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency number.
Lows take most of the time
Expansive stretches are the ones people talk about, but most of the time lost to these conditions is lost to lows. Balance gives a low the same attention as a high.
Stretches rarely start from nowhere
Looking back, many people can name what changed first: sleep breaking up, going out less, the phone still lit at three. From the inside it felt sudden; in hindsight there were signs.
Your signs are your own
What comes before a low for you is not what comes before it for someone else. That's why you choose your signs, and why the long-term aim is a model for each person rather than an average.
Life pulls in both directions
Travel, a loss, a deadline, shift work, a new relationship. Seeing which of these tend to come before your stretches is about understanding yourself, not about knowing the future.
Honest about what it can't see
Patterns in one person's data are easy to over-read. Balance shows what it saw and how often, says so when there isn't enough to say anything, and leaves the meaning to you.
