Frequently asked questions

A few answers to help you begin at your own pace.

Getting started

Do I have to write every day?

No. Make an entry when you want to, and return after a break. There are no streaks, rankings or missing entries to catch up on. An empty day only means you did not record anything.

What can I record?

Body, Mind and Soul activities, mood, energy, state of mind and optional notes. Choose activities from the catalog, create your own and keep familiar activities or things you would like to try. Preferences do not automatically become journal entries.

Can I correct an entry from yesterday?

You can add and edit entries only for today. Older entries remain available to read and delete. The journal has a today view and a weekly view, including previous weeks.

Do I need an internet connection?

Yes, to access the service and load or save journal entries. Offline entry synchronization is not yet available. Some monk suggestions have a local fallback; this does not make the whole journal available offline.

When will the app be available, and what will it cost?

Body Mind Soul is coming soon to iOS and Android. We are committed to keeping the journal free and accessible. We will publish a release date once it is confirmed.

Rereadings and gentle reminders

Do rereadings always use AI?

No. Essential offers activity and check-in counts, the last three notes from the period and a curated question, without AI for the rereading. With AI offers a reflection generated from your entries. Off stops new rereadings and badges while keeping saved ones. Compare the three modes.

Does Essential turn off all AI in the app?

No. The choice in Settings → Rereadings applies only to rereadings. Activity suggestions and the monk’s check-in responses follow separate preferences and may use AI. Opening a suggestion does not record an activity for you.

When does the first rereading arrive?

After three full days from your first entry; the next becomes due seven days after the start. Periods of three and seven days then alternate. The screen shows the next date, and a badge marks new rereadings. Periods without entries are skipped.

Does changing modes or entries rewrite saved rereadings?

No. Each rereading is prepared once and saved for that period. A mode change applies to upcoming periods awaiting processing. Editing the journal or reopening a rereading does not regenerate saved ones.

Can I choose reminder times?

Yes. In Settings → Daily reminders, enable opening and closing check-in reminders separately and choose their times. Both start off. Notifications are local, and your phone’s operating system may delay them.

Access and your data

Do I need an email? What if I lose my code?

We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number. Sign in with a secret 20-digit code and keep a copy somewhere safe. If you are still signed in, you can display it in settings. Without the code or a device you can retrieve it from, we cannot send an email recovery link.

Is my journal anonymous?

Your data is linked to your numeric account: the absence of a name or email does not make it anonymous. Notes may contain identifying information, and authorized administrators can view journals. Read how your data is handled.

Can I take my data with me or delete my account?

Yes. Settings → Your data offers JSON export and account deletion for both Standard and Plus. The export contains personal information and does not include your access code. Deletion blocks access and removes app data; copies you have exported remain under your control.
