Profile

General Wellness profile

General Wellness is the broadest profile in the app. It keeps mood, energy, sleep, notes, and optional context together in one record without adding condition-specific wording, so it is easier to review over time.

Common scenario "I wanted a fuller record than mood alone. Logging sleep and a few context tags made the week easier to review later."

Best fit Choose this profile when you want a broad day-to-day record without condition-specific wording.

User-chosen context

Optional labels you decide to track

The labels in this profile are optional prompts for your own daily log. They give you a quick way to add broad context when it fits the day, and leaving them blank is also valid.

  • You choose what to mark; DaySense does not assign these labels to you.
  • Labels are not diagnostic categories, risk flags, or treatment guidance.
  • They help later review stay grounded in the context you entered.

How the review works

How your daily read is built

This profile gives you a simple, broad read of the day. It keeps mood, energy, sleep, and optional context together so the record is easier to review over time without implying a condition-specific interpretation.

Core signals

Core daily signals

Mood, energy, and sleep provide the broad baseline for the daily read. Optional context can add shape where it is available in the app.

Directional signals

Broad context support

General Wellness supports optional daily context so you can mark broad strain and recovery signals without switching to more specific profile wording.

Sleep context

Trend-friendly review

The profile is designed to work well as a baseline view. It is a good fit when you want clear day-to-day logging and later trend review without a more specific profile.

Review language

How the review stays calm

Saved days are grouped into broad review ranges so the wording stays plain, readable, and observational.

Context modifiers

What this profile keeps visible

These are the broad context areas this profile is designed to keep visible.

Modifier Notes
Core daily signalsThe main log remains centered on everyday mood, energy, and sleep context.
Daily loadBroad strain, routine change, and social load can add useful shape to the record where those inputs are available.
Optional contextExtra context can help explain the day where it is available in the app, but it is not the core promise of this profile.

Design rationale

Why the wording stays restrained

"General Wellness is the least opinionated profile in the app. It is there to help someone build a reliable daily record before they decide whether they want something more specific."

This profile is designed as the broad default. It gives you a clean read of mood, energy, and sleep without implying a condition-specific interpretation.

It also keeps optional context capture available so you can add useful strain and recovery notes without making the daily flow feel clinical or over-structured.

If you want something more specific later, the profile system is designed to make that possible without changing the product's privacy boundary.

Review focus

What stays visible over time

In practice, this profile is best for broad pattern review and a clearer record over time rather than narrow condition-specific interpretation.

Sleep and recovery Daily strain Routine and pacing Context-led review
Review note Longer review works best when there is enough logged history. Thin data should produce less language, not louder claims.
