Use Circles

Discover, create, or join a Circle, then choose what to share and what to add privately.

Most reflection apps stop at the reflection. Logit keeps going: you notice something worth changing, turn it into a goal, and then work that goal with other people instead of alone. Circles are where that last part happens.

A Circle is a relationship room for chosen support. It keeps who is involved, what they can see, and what happens next visible.

Apply a goal, quest, or pack template and its Circle comes with it — one room for everyone working that same goal, plus a smaller room for the people working it in your city where that is safe and useful. Every one of the 56 goal templates offers a Circle, and named variations such as Basketball or Bible study resolve to their exact room. You see the matching Circle before applying and can untick it. Joining shares no goal, task, habit, progress, or journal content; those stay private unless you separately choose to share something.

If you choose Other, your words personalize only your private plan. They do not name or split a room: Logit uses a broad, server-owned fallback Circle so a typed answer can never expose an identity or fragment the community.

You can also start from Connect. Open Discover Circles, search the public practice directory, open a Circle's plan preview, and join it. After joining, its Act tab offers the exact associated goal template — Basketball in the Basketball Circle, Bible study in the Bible Circle — for you to add privately. Joining alone never adds a goal, and adding the goal never publishes it to the Circle. If the plan is already in your Act hub, the tab says so and links back to your private goal.

Use a Circle when doing something is easier together, or when support needs context: one trusted person, a small group, an event, people practising the same thing, or Logit Social for signed-in support. Person-origin updates stay with the person, group, or event they belong to whenever possible. Reminders, account alerts, and other notices from Logit appear in the notification hub on your Self page.

Every account starts in Logit Social, Life areas, and Life rings. These shared discussion boards give support, questions, and common practice a clear home without making private goals or journal entries visible.

🎯 Use This When

• You picked a goal and would rather not work it alone.
• You want people nearby who are doing the same thing.
• You want someone to witness, remind, or follow up.
• A shared moment needs a clear room.
• You want support without public pressure.

🔒 What Stays Private

A Circle does not expose your goals, tasks, habits, progress, or whole journal. Joining a room shares nothing on its own — membership and sharing are separate acts. Practice, support, city, and private-roster communities show a member count, never a member list. Ordinary one-person and selected group Circles may show the people who share that room so its audience stays understandable. Only posts and selected context you deliberately share belong there. If you tag a person in a private journal event, Logit can show that event in your private overlay journal for that person, but the tagged person cannot see it unless you explicitly share that event with them or a Circle.

✅ One Thing To Do Now

Choose one Circle and one intent: witness, remind, follow up, plan, or keep quiet.

Circle Flow

In short: identify the need, choose the Circle, check who can see it, name the intent, then share selected context or keep it private.

Inside a Circle message, type # to reference another Circle you can see. Logit adds a private in-app link to that Circle; it does not create a public hashtag or make the linked Circle visible to people who cannot already access it.

Circle Types

Create a Circle

There is one Create Circle form for every Circle. It asks, in order:

1. Who can see this Circle?

• Private — only you. This is the default, and the only home for saved people.
• Members — only Logit members you add or invite.
• Friends — all of your current friends may discover and join it.
• Public — anyone signed in to Logit may discover and join it.

1. People — one search across your friends, Logit members, and your saved people. Each result says what it is (Friend, Logit profile, `Saved person, Linked, or Email invite`), and you can create a saved person right from the search when nobody matches.
2. Circle name — suggested from the people you picked until you edit it.
3. Description, photo, or emoji — optional.

Labels like "Community Circle", "One-person Circle", or "Family Circle" are descriptions of what you built, not choices you make up front.

A few boundaries the form keeps for you:

• Saved people are visible only to you, so they can only live in a Private Circle. Picking one anywhere else explains: *"Saved people can only be added to a Private Circle because they are visible only to you."* The same rule stops a Private Circle with saved people from being widened or from inviting members until those saved people are removed — nothing is changed or removed silently.
• Adding a real Logit member to a Private Circle keeps them as your private reference: they are not notified, not invited, and cannot see the Circle.
• A Private Circle with people is a relationship journal: pick a kind (family, household, team, …) and every journal event you tag with any member appears in that Circle's journal. It also shows up in Reflect → People.
• Friends and Public Circles can carry the optional community details (Life area, ring, practice, commitment, local or worldwide). "Local" is a description, not permission to read anyone's location.

Widening an existing Circle's audience asks for confirmation and names the new scope before anything changes.

Discover Circles searches Logit's public practice catalog by Life area, Life Ring, practice, commitment length, global/local availability, and whether the public plan contains tasks or habits. A Circle with several official plans matches any commitment length it genuinely offers. Connect search can also show a user-created community when its Private, Friends, or Public boundary allows you to find it. User-created Circles without an official public plan are left out when you filter by plan contents; Logit never guesses from members' private actions or shared activity. A preview carries only the Circle's name, purpose, and safe public labels. It never reveals a member roster, posts, recent activity, or anyone's goals, tasks, habits, progress, or journal. Choose Join Circle to become a member; joining never adds an action. When a practice Circle has an associated plan, its Act tab then offers an explicit Add privately step.

An invitation is a request, not membership. It expires if you do not respond, and you join only when you choose Accept. You can decline it; the inviter can cancel it while it is pending. A non-owner can later choose Leave Circle without deleting the room. The owner cannot accidentally leave the Circle they govern. A new invitation and a successful join each create a private notification for the one person concerned; a decline, cancellation, expiry, or departure does not become an alert.

Owners and admins can invite a friend from the Circle's Overview and review or cancel pending invitations there. Inviting never exposes the rest of the roster and never adds the person before they accept.

New communities keep their roster private. Posts use stable pen names so a conversation remains readable without publishing who belongs to the room. A pen name is not anonymity: owners, safety review, and the person who wrote a post still have the account context needed to manage the Circle safely.

Owners can promote members to admin. Owners and admins can remove any Circle post, while only the owner can permanently delete an ordinary user-managed Circle. Logit-managed rooms, direct Circles, private relationship workspaces, and event rooms keep their own protected lifecycle.

Connect Parent and Local Circles

A Circle can ask another Circle to accept it as a direct subcircle. The request names the parent, child, and content direction before it is sent; the receiving parent confirms that same direction before approval. New requests default to one-way sharing from the child toward the parent. You can deliberately choose a different direction when that relationship needs it. Approved content moves only one hop, so a broad room and a local room can stay in context. This never exposes member lists, does not recurse through a chain, and does not widen content whose owner explicitly chose This Circle only.

This is for Circles that people create. The city rooms inside practice Circles are already connected for you and need no request, as described in A Room For Your City below.

When a Circle contains only you and one other person, its heading uses that person's name and picture instead of the generic Friend Circle label. A title you deliberately chose is never replaced.

In a private people Circle, saved people and Logit participants share one deduplicated People roster. One row can show Private details, Logit member, and the person's shared Owner/Admin/Member role without mixing those permissions with your notes. When private details exist, tap the row to open the person's relationship journal and use the separate Edit action to change contact details. Otherwise, tap the row to add a private record linked to their Logit account. If attaching that record to the Circle needs a retry, the row says so while keeping the private details already saved.

One Circle, Three Clear Places

Opening a person or group Circle takes you to its relationship journal:

Starting a post also creates a member-only excerpt in Connect's Feed. This applies to every Circle, including practice, support, Life area, and Life ring boards. The full post and its replies still belong in the Circle. Feed access is checked against the room now: a new member can find earlier posts, while leaving, being removed, archiving the Circle, or blocking the author removes those excerpts. Earlier posts do not become a surprise unread count when you join later.

Posting does not alert the whole room. A notification goes only to someone you name with @, or to current members covered by an allowed @all. Muting the Circle, leaving it, or blocking the author is checked again before a delayed alert is delivered. A direct mention still reaches someone who has muted only @all announcements; a fully muted Circle stays quiet.

The Posts timeline keeps each source's own controls. Circle posts have replies, helpful marks, and answered questions. Shared journal posts keep comments and mood reactions. A private event can appear in your view without becoming visible to anyone else.

Writing freely is the default. A discussion category is just a label that helps people find the post later. Choose Use template only when prompts would help; every available category has one, including a gentle Win, loss, or lesson reflection. You can edit every prompt before posting. Category, Unanswered, search, and Most active are Circle-post filters. The UI states that focused mode plainly and offers Show all sources to return the shared and private journal events to the timeline.

Sensitive support boards may display stable pen names to reduce casual identity exposure. A pen name is not anonymity; use the same care you would with any bounded shared room.

Bring a Circle Action Into Your Plan

The Circle's Act tab keeps shared invitations and your private plan easy to tell apart:

• From this Circle lists goals, habits, tasks, and events offered to the room. Choose Add to Act to make your own private copy. The button changes to In your Act, and trying again does not create a duplicate.
• If you shared an item, choose Remove from Circle to stop offering it in that room. A Circle owner or admin can do the same for moderation. Logit asks first and removes only the Circle link: the original action or event and any private copies stay intact.
• Your linked actions shows your own goals, habits, and tasks that are tagged with people in the Circle. These remain private to you.

The copy is a normal Act item that you can open and manage in your own plan. A Circle event becomes a task with its start time, end time, and location carried over, so Act does not introduce a separate event action type.

When you complete a copied item, its completion reflection starts with the source Circle selected. Check the audience before saving: you can keep the reflection Private or choose another available audience instead. This choice affects the completion reflection, not the action itself. If you no longer have access to the source Circle, Logit keeps an otherwise unselected completion audience private.

Meet Up Around an Action

Open a goal, task, or habit and choose Plan Circle event to organize a time and place to do it together. Each event is its own Circle, so one action can have separate meetups in Sydney, Melbourne, or anywhere else without changing the source action or mixing attendee lists. People who can see the source may join the event and optionally add its task-shaped copy to Act. The event host can add or change the meetup location, and every event keeps a safe backlink to the viewer's own Act copy or to the source Circle when no local copy exists. The event host or source Circle owner/admin can choose Remove from Circle from the event details without deleting the event itself.

Practice Circles From Action Templates

Every goal template and many habit templates have a Circle for the exact practice. Choosing Basketball, Spanish, or Guitar, for example, takes everyone who chose that same option to one shared Circle. It does not split people by which template they started from, so the room is "everyone practising this", not "everyone who used this template".

The template review names every Circle before you apply:

• Each Circle is shown with its box already ticked, alongside who is in the room and what joining means. Leave it ticked to join; untick it to apply without joining.
• Sensitive support Circles work the same way. The row says plainly what the room is for, so the choice is informed rather than automatic. If you left one of these rooms before, applying a template never puts you back in it.
• Other keeps free-text words in the private plan and uses a broad, server-owned fallback Circle; the words never create, name, or split a room.

Every practice Circle keeps its member list private, and your own plan and actions stay private either way. A Circle post can appear in the Feed of people who are current members, but it does not become public or reach someone who has left, archived the Circle, or blocked the author. You can mute the room when you need quiet or leave it at any time; leaving does not remove or change your private plan. Joining is membership, nothing more. It does not post your goal, your plan, your progress, or anything from your journal. Sharing something into a Circle is always a separate, deliberate act with its own audience choice.

A Room For Your City

Inside most practice Circles sits a smaller room for each city. When you apply a template, you join the main Circle and — if your profile has a city — the room for people doing the same thing where you live, so the walk, the study session, or the meet-up is a real possibility.

• Your city comes from the city saved on your profile. You choose it from a list rather than typing it, so everyone who lives in the same place lands in the same room instead of three near-identical ones. Set or change it in Settings.
• Posts from the main Circle appear in your city room. What you post in the city room stays there: other cities never see it, and it does not travel up into the main room.
• The member list is private here too, and the room's name is kept out of lock-screen notifications, because a name like "Guitar practice · Sydney" says both what you practise and roughly where you live.
• You can leave the city room and keep the main one, or the other way around.
• Having no city saved yet is an ordinary state. You simply get the main Circle until you add one.

Sensitive practices deliberately never split by city. Support rooms — for things like caregiving, relationships, cravings, or a journal topic — stay one worldwide room on purpose. Narrowing "everyone practising this" to "people near me practising this" would make members easier to recognise while adding little. Local company matters for a basketball game, not for a gratitude practice.

When To Step Back

Mute the Circle when you want its alerts to stop without leaving. Leave when you no longer want access or member-only Feed excerpts. Block a person when the boundary is about them. Report a specific post when it needs safety review; the post itself supplies the author context, so you do not need to identify a private-roster member. Contact support when you need more help.

🌿 Why This Matters

Reflection tells you what needs care, and a goal tells you what to do about it. The hard part is continuing — and continuing is easier with company. Circles add that company without turning private life into content: support is specific, the room is bounded, and nothing leaves it unless you choose to send it.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use Circles?

No. Private reflection is enough when support is not needed.

What if someone pressures me to share?

Keep the note private and use mute, block, report, or support controls if needed.

Can Circle members see my private journal?

No. Relationship notes are private unless a sharing flow clearly says otherwise.

Does joining a practice Circle reveal my goal?

No. Membership gives you access to the discussion board and nothing else. Your goal, tasks, habits, progress, and reflections stay private unless you separately choose to share something, which is always its own step with its own audience choice.

Can other members see who is in the Circle?

Practice, support, city, and private-roster community Circles show how many people are in the room, never a list of who they are. Their posts use stable pen names instead of revealing another member's account. Ordinary one-person and selected group Circles may show their members so you can check that room's audience before sharing.

Does an invitation add me to a Circle?

No. An invitation remains pending until you accept it. You can decline it, the inviter can cancel it, and it expires if nobody acts. A pending invitation does not reveal the room's roster or give you its posts.

Does every Circle post notify everyone?

No. Current members may see the post in Feed, but an alert is sent only to people named with @ or covered by an allowed @all. The audience is checked again at delivery, so leaving, muting the Circle, or blocking the author stops a delayed alert.

Is there a room for people in my city?

Yes, for most practice Circles. Applying a template joins you to the main Circle and to the room for people doing the same thing in the city saved on your profile. Posts from the main Circle appear in your city room; what you post in the city room stays there. If you have not saved a city yet, you get the main Circle only — add one in Settings whenever you like.

Why does my support Circle have no city room?

That is deliberate. Sensitive support rooms — caregiving, relationships, cravings, journal topics — stay one worldwide room, because "people near me practising this" is a much smaller and more identifying group than "everyone practising this". Keeping them unsplit protects the people in them.

I moved. How do I change my city room?

Update the city on your profile in Settings, then you join the new city's room the next time you apply a template for that practice. You can leave the room you left behind from its Circle page at any time.

What happens when I log a supported journal event, like meditation or a craving?

Some journal templates — meditation, sleep, conflict & repair, worry & anxiety, grief & loss, CBT thought records, self-compassion, emotional regulation, and craving or slip events — have a matching support Circle. The first time you use one, the form shows a pre-checked Join the Circle row that names who is in the room and what joining means. Leave it ticked and saving adds you to the Circle; untick it and your event saves privately with no membership change — that choice is remembered on this device, so you are not re-asked with a pre-checked box here. Joining never shares the event itself or its journal details. Members see an Opt out action right in the event form; leaving is remembered, so later events do not add you back. You can always choose to join again yourself.

Why was a practice Circle included with my template?

The template review shows the exact Circle and starts it included so people choosing the same thing can find one another. Every row is tickable — you can turn any Circle off before applying, including the sensitive support ones — and the row itself says who is in the room, whether a city room comes with it, and what joining means before anything happens.

Can I leave or mute a practice Circle?

Yes. Mute it to stop Circle alerts without leaving, or leave it completely, and the same goes for its city room. Leaving also removes its member-only Feed excerpts. Neither choice changes your private actions, and Logit will not silently add you back after you leave — a later template never reverses a departure you chose.

Can I use photos, GIFs, or emojis in a Circle?

Yes, when they belong with the Circle audience. Do not share someone else's private context without permission.

Does a private journal event in Posts become visible to the Circle?

No. The timeline can bring your own relationship notes beside the shared conversation without changing their audience. Look for Private to you or the exact shared audience, such as Friends journal, Public journal, or Shared with this Circle, before responding.

Do I have to choose a discussion template?

No. Write naturally and add a category label if it helps. Use a template only when its prompts make the post easier to shape; the result stays editable.

What is Logit Social for?

Logit Social is the signed-in Circle for support, bugs, feature requests, account help, and official follow-up. It cannot be assigned to your tasks, goals, or habits, and it cannot be made accountable for your actions.
