What is a Soulwise daily check-in?
A 20-second interaction with Soulwise: pick one of 14 situation chips, optionally write an one-line note, and receive one grounded note back. There are no streaks, no spirals, and no daily score. It is the only thing the free tier asks of you.
- Under 20 seconds to complete
- No streaks, no daily score, no shame
- Pairs your chip with your cycle phase for context
Daily Check-In
The daily check-in is the smallest possible interaction Soulwise can have with you and still be useful. It exists because:
- Anything longer than 30 seconds dies in three weeks.
- Anything more demanding than "pick one of these" turns into a guilt loop.
- Pattern reads work from sparse data; they do not need essays.
What you do
- Open the app. The check-in card is the first thing on the home screen.
- Tap one of 14 chips: Building, Recovering, Holding it together, Drifting, Restless, Tender, Tracking, Hosting, Hiding, Bright, Heavy, Curious, Tired, Showing up.
- Optionally type up to 280 characters in the note field.
- Tap submit. The morning brief surfaces one grounded note in response.
That is the loop. 20 seconds. No score, no streak.
What we deliberately do not do
- No streaks. Streaks turn the ritual into a guilt loop. Pattern works from any density.
- No daily score. We do not rate your day. We do not estimate your "wellness".
- No notifications you did not opt into. See 4-tier-push-fatigue-model.
- No upsell in the check-in flow. The Premium upgrade lives elsewhere.
- No social share prompt. Your check-in is for you.
What the chip means
The chip is not a mood rating on a 1-10 scale. It is a situation tag — a name for what is true today. Two days can both be "Building" and look very different inside; what matters is that the chip becomes a pattern over weeks. The response-engine-four-factor uses your chip plus your cycle phase plus the day's transits plus your archetype to write the one note back.
How it feeds the longer reads
Every check-in adds one point to your private archive. After several weeks, the pattern shows up in your cycle-weather; after several months, in your cycle-related-archetype; after several cycles, in your cycle-blueprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nothing. There is no streak to break. The pattern read works from any density of check-ins; we tell you when the signal is too thin and ask nothing more.
No. The chip alone is enough. The note is optional and capped at 280 characters because the point is the chip pattern over time, not journaling volume.
A grounded set of situations curated against the JTBD interviews — building, recovering, holding-it-together, drifting, etc. The set is intentionally small so the chip stays meaningful.
