The app
Five minutes a day, in your pocket.
A breath, a prompt, one thing to notice. It keeps what you noticed, so the pattern ends up written down instead of invisible.
Coming to the App Store
Until then, the five days do not wait for it. Start those instead.
What a check-in is
Four moves, about a minute.
Pause
How loud is Sam right now? One tap, three answers, and quiet is a real one.
Breathe
In for four, out for six. Sam can stay. You are just giving them some room.
Notice
Where is Sam now? Tap anywhere you still feel them. No words needed, and you can write or draw if you want to.
Respond
Go ahead on purpose, wait ten minutes, or do something else instead. Going ahead on purpose is never a failure.
The record
Your pattern, written down.
The app keeps what you noticed and nothing else. After a few weeks it can show you when Sam is loudest, what Sam tends to want, where it sits in your body, and what you chose. Not a score and never a streak.
There is a count of how many times you have interrupted the groove. It never resets and it never mentions a missed day.
Privacy
It makes no network connections at all.
Everything you tap, write or draw is stored on your device only. There are no accounts and no logins. Nothing is transmitted to me or to anyone else, which means I cannot see it, access it or recover it.
There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. If you delete the app it all goes with it, and there is a delete everything button in Settings if you would rather do it yourself.
The four moves are free and stay free.
Tell me when it is out
Same list as the five days. One email when the app ships, and nothing else.
