Insights

Insights shows which way the things you track are moving. It only uses what you have logged, and it states numbers without grading them: there is no target, no score for a week. Colour is used for what something is, not how it is going: each kind of thing (Focus, Mind, Sleep, Body and so on) has its own hue, whichever way its number moved. The one place colour carries a plain meaning is money, where money in is green, money out is red and your net is green or red by its sign.

Overview​

For each thing you track, the Overview shows how the last 7 days compare with the 4 weeks before them:

  • where this week stands (an average, or the share of days for a yes or no),
  • a word and an arrow for which way it moved: higher, lower or about the same,
  • a small line for the last eight weeks, and
  • the sentence the numbers came from, for example "Sleep hours averaged 7.5 h, higher than the 7 h over the four weeks before."

Things are grouped as Focus, Mind, Sleep, Body, Day, Supplements and Habits. A day you didn't record something is skipped, never counted as zero. "About the same" means the change is smaller than an ordinary day-to-day swing.

When a thing doesn't have enough days yet, it moves to Still collecting and says exactly what it needs, such as "Needs 2 more days this week with sleep hours recorded." Nothing is invented to fill the space.

Below the trends are your Life Dimensions scores as you rated them, and this month's money in and out if you log transactions.

Weekly brief (Pro)​

The weekly brief is a short written read of the trends above. It is written from those same sentences and nothing else, so every number in it is a number on the page. It never says one thing caused another and gives no medical advice. You can write it twice a week. If there isn't enough logged yet, it says so and doesn't use up an attempt.

Compare (Pro)​

Pick any two things you track and see how they line up in your own days, for example sleep hours and mood, or a supplement and your focus rating. You can compare on the same day or from one day to the next, so "sleep last night, mood today" and "exercise yesterday, energy today" both work.

For a yes or no, such as exercise, a supplement or a habit step, Compare shows the average of the other thing on days with it and days without, and how many days each had. For two numbers it shows how strongly they move together, from -1 to 1. Either way it shows the range the true gap or link could plausibly be in, and a chart.

A few rules keep it honest:

  • Only days where both things were recorded count.
  • It needs at least 14 days of both, and at least 5 days on each side of a yes or no. Below that it tells you how many more days it needs instead of showing a number.
  • A result is a pattern in your own data. It does not show that one thing causes the other, and Xenith says so on every result.
  • If the gap is within what an ordinary day-to-day swing can produce, it says that too.

When a result is clear and the thing is a yes or no you can choose, such as exercise or a supplement, Compare offers a small experiment: "Try exercise today and notice your mood." Nothing is added unless you press Add to today, which creates one intention.

Found in your days (Pro)​

Xenith can also look through your days for links worth a closer look. It only tries a short list of sensible pairs (sleep against mood, energy and focus, exercise against mood, a supplement or habit against how you feel and focus, evening caffeine against that night's sleep), not every possible pair. Because looking at many pairs turns up coincidences, the bar is high:

  • at least 21 days with both recorded, and at least 7 on each side of a yes or no,
  • a clear size of effect, not just a tiny difference,
  • a result that holds up after correcting for how many pairs were looked at, and
  • at most three shown.

Most people will see Nothing stands out yet for the first weeks. That is normal, and it means the data isn't clear enough to say anything, not that something is wrong.

How sleep logs are read​

A sleep log is made the morning after, so its hours are last night's sleep for that day. Its yes or no questions (caffeine, screen time before bed, exercise, stress) are about the day before, and Insights places them on that day. Your data export keeps each answer on the date of the log.

No streaks, no guilt​

Insights shows direction, not perfection. There are no streaks to protect and no red marks for an off day.
