A little about Mumentum

A daily journal made just for you. You tap a few buttons — how you're feeling, how you slept, whether you've had a drink, whether you took your medication, and a small note if you want one. Over time it shows you what's working.

It is not a medical tool. It does not replace your doctor or your prescriptions. It is yours, for noticing.

Three small things tend to help when you're working through a stretch like this:

• Noticing your mood — even briefly — tends to lift it. The act of pausing to ask “how am I right now?” is the medicine, not the answer.
• Writing down what helped today (a walk, a phone call, the sun on your back step) makes those things easier to repeat.
• Seeing trends across weeks reminds you you're moving, even on the days that feel like nothing.

Whenever it occurs to you. Once a day, twice a day, once a week — all fine.

1. 1Open the app from your home screen.
2. 2Tap How am I right now? at the top.
3. 3Tap a mood number. Skip whatever you don't feel like answering.
4. 4Tap Save this moment.

A whole check-in takes under a minute. You can also tap and speak your note instead of typing.

A gentle goal: aim for one check-in most days. Two or three on the days you feel like it. Zero on the days you don't. None of those are wrong.

The honest answer: showing up. Not perfect days. Not a perfect streak. Not high mood scores all the time.

If you logged once last week and twice this week — that's good.

If your mood went down today — that's good information, not a failure.

If you missed three days in a row and came back — that's the most important kind of good.

You won't see a red “you missed your streak” warning here, ever. That's not what this is for.

Tap the Progress tab to see your story building up.

• Mood trend — a soft line showing your average mood over the last 5, 15, or 30 days. The shape matters more than any single number.
• Average mood, brightest day, lower-alcohol days, good-sleep days — four small cards that summarise the window you're looking at.
• Positive evidence — quiet wins the app spotted for you. Streaks, gentle patterns, things worth noticing.
• Your story this week — a warm paragraph written for you, weaving together your check-ins and notes from the last fortnight.

A simple number out of 100. Higher is a brighter day; lower is a softer one. It blends your mood, sleep, alcohol, and a touch of anxiety.

It is not a medical score. Don't chase the number — just notice it. A 60 followed by a 50 followed by a 65 is not a setback; it's just the texture of being human.

There's a Talk to James button in Settings. Send him an idea, a question, or just hi any time. He'll get a buzz on his phone.

If he ships something you asked for, you'll see it on your home screen with a little “Your idea is here” card.

If your mood is very low or your anxiety very high, a soft Today sounds hard card appears at the bottom of your home screen. It has:

• Your trusted contact — set in Settings. One tap to call.
• 1737 — free, 24/7 mental wellbeing line for anywhere in New Zealand. Talk or text a trained counsellor.
• 111 — emergency services if you need help right now.

Your check-ins live on your phone first, and on a private database connected to your account. Only you and James can see them.

Notes you send to James go to his phone via a private bot. Nobody else sees them.
