Support guide

Use Circles

Create or join doing-centered communities and invite support with clear boundaries.

• Choose one Circle and one support intent

Circles are relationship rooms for chosen support. They keep who is involved, what they can see, and what happens next visible.

Use a Circle 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. System reminders and account alerts appear in Needs attention at the top of Connect.

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 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. 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 or Join a Community

Choose Create Circle → Community to start without adding people first. Give the Circle a recognizable name and short purpose, then choose who can find it:

• Private — only current members can see it; invite people or connect another Circle when you are ready.
• Friends — all of your current friends may discover and join it.
• Public — anyone signed in to Logit may discover and join it.

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

Circle search includes communities you are allowed to discover. A preview never reveals its member roster or private discussion text. Choose Join Circle to become a member; a non-owner can later choose Leave Circle without deleting the room. The owner cannot accidentally leave the Circle they govern.

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 such as Meditation and a local room such as Meditation Sydney 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.

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:

The Discussions 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

Some goal and 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.

The template review names the Circle before you apply:

• Everyday practice Circles are shown and included by default. You can turn one off before applying.
• Sensitive support Circles always start off. Joining requires a separate choice and a clear explanation of the room's purpose.
• Other keeps a free-text choice personal and never creates or selects a Circle.

Every practice Circle keeps its member list private, and your own plan and actions stay private either way. Discussions stay inside the Circle — they are visible to the people in that practice room and do not appear in Connect feeds. You can mute the room when you need quiet or leave it at any time; leaving does not remove or change your private plan.

When To Step Back

Mute, leave, block, report, or contact support when a Circle no longer feels useful or safe.

🌿 Why This Matters

Connection works best when support is specific and private life is not turned into content.

❓ 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. Your goal, tasks, habits, progress, and reflections stay private unless you separately share something.

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 can see what before anything joins.

Can I leave or mute a practice Circle?

Yes. Mute it for quiet, or leave it completely. Neither choice changes your private actions, and Logit will not silently add you back after you leave.

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 Discussions 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.
