Patterns: What Lifts and Lowers Your Mood

Patterns shows you what lifts and lowers your mood — drawn from your own data. Once you've checked in for a week or two, Genis begins reading across your mood entries, sleep, journal habits, and movement to surface meaningful connections.

What Patterns Looks At

  • Mood check-ins — your scores, emotions, and contributing factors.
  • Sleep — duration and quality from Apple Health and Apple Watch.
  • Daily Journal habits — caffeine, water, alcohol, breathing, fasting, and more.
  • Movement — daily steps and workouts.
  • Recent conversations — optionally, themes from your chats with Genis.

Connections, Not Causes

Patterns are always framed as connections, not causes. If Genis notices your mood tends to be higher after seven hours of sleep, that's a gentle prompt to experiment — not a verdict. You stay the expert on your own life.

Getting Started

Patterns needs roughly one to two weeks of regular check-ins before it can surface reliable connections. Keep checking in — your patterns will show up here.
