Patterns and progress: see what's actually changing

In Mentis, progress has two sides. Your plan gives you clear goals, one per chapter, written in plain words, and tracks whether each habit is holding. Patterns show the bigger picture: what's moving your mood, week by week.

In short
  • Every chapter has one goal in your words, like "I wake at the same time, even after a bad night."
  • Each keystone habit "graduates" when it holds on most asked days.
  • Patterns connect your sleep, social life, work and lifestyle to your mood.
  • At the end of a plan, a before-and-after recap shows what changed.
Patterns: Mimi needs a few check-ins first, then shows each area's state and trend.

What counts as progress in Mentis?

Not points or streaks. Progress is a habit that holds. Each chapter's keystone has a simple rule, like "up within five minutes of your time, on four of six asked days". When you meet it, the habit graduates and the next chapter opens. You can see where you are on the plan path at any time.

When you finish a stage or a whole plan, you get a recap: what you did, how many days you showed up, and what changed between your first check-ins and now.

How do patterns work?

Every check-in adds a few data points to your Sleep, Social, Work and Lifestyle skies. Over time, Mimi looks for connections. They're written in plain language and hedged when the data is thin:

Mimi, the Mentis cloud
Mimi noticedYour Sleep sky has been mostly Overcast this week, a touch lighter than last. A few minutes of winding down before bed has helped steady your rest, but late-night focus sessions are still showing up as fatigue in your morning checks.

Mentis is careful here. Mimi won't claim a pattern from a couple of days. Early on your skies show as Hazy, which is Mimi's way of saying it needs more check-ins before it can say anything useful.

Why track progress this way?

Start with the daily check-in, or see the plans.

Frequently asked questions

How does Mentis measure progress?

Two ways. Each plan chapter has a keystone habit with a simple rule for 'holding', for example up at your set time on four of six asked days. And your daily check-ins build skies and patterns over time, so you can see whether things are actually lighter.

What is a pattern?

A connection Mimi notices across your check-ins, like 'late-night focus sessions are still showing up as fatigue in your morning checks', or your Sleep sky getting lighter since you started winding down.

How long before patterns appear?

Your aura shows from the first check-ins, marked as forming. Patterns need more data, usually a couple of weeks, so they're based on more than one bad day.

Can I set my own goals?

Each chapter's goal is written for you, like 'Work ends when I say it ends'. You personalise how you reach it: your cue, your time, your wording.
