Self guide

Self Home Base

Self is where you set the targets, read what the numbers say, and understand yourself a little better — the home base, not a scoreboard.

• 4 min
• understand self balance
• Set or adjust one ring target, or open Insights and read one week honestly.

Self is where Logit stays personal. It holds identity, privacy, settings, preferences, account controls, notifications, and Life Rings configuration.

It is also where you set the targets, read what the numbers say, and understand yourself a little better. It is the home base, not a scoreboard.

🎯 Use This When

• You want to understand why Self is not a target ring.
• You want to set or lower a ring target for the season you are in.
• You want to see where your hours actually went.
• You need account, privacy, notification, or reminder controls.

🔒 What Stays Private

Self settings do not make your journal public. Sharing choices still happen only when you choose an audience, and Insights is built only from your own entries.

✅ One Thing To Do Now

Open Self and either set one ring target, or open Insights and read one week honestly.

How Self Supports The Loop

In short: Self is not a step in the loop — it is the room you set the loop's targets from and the room you come back to when you want to read what the loop produced.

🎯 Targets

Set a time target for Connect, Act, Reflect, and Learn — in minutes a day or a week. Presets, seasonal adjustments, and pauses live in ring configuration, so a target can shrink when life does.

📊 Insights And The Life Radar

Insights answers where your hours actually went.

• The radar covers all ten life areas and counts minutes from entries you already wrote — nothing extra to fill in.
• Tapping an area opens those same entries, so a number is never a dead end.
• It switches between the four Life Rings and the ten areas of life, over a week, a month, or a year.

That is the picture that usually shows the next thing worth changing: an area that took a quarter of your week, or one that got fifteen minutes.

Why Self Is Ringless

Connect, Act, Reflect, and Learn are the four Life Rings where evidence can gather, and each one can have a target. Self is different: it is the room you set those targets from and the place you decide what matters and what stays private. So Self never gets a ring or a target of its own.

Self Holds

• Profile and identity.
• Privacy and account controls.
• Notifications and reminders, in one grouped place.
• Preferences, including your light or dark theme.
• Ring targets and ring configuration.
• Insights and the life radar.
• Export and deletion controls.

What Logit Can Access, And How You Control It

Logit only asks for what a feature actually needs, and every request is optional. You stay in control from Self:

• Photos and camera — used only when you choose a picture or snap a page to turn into a private journal entry. Logit never browses your library on its own.
• Microphone — used only while you record a private voice note or talk to Loggy.
• Notifications — sent only if you turn on reminders or Circle updates, and you can adjust or silence them anytime.
• Contacts — you tick exactly who becomes a saved person. Nobody in your contacts is messaged or notified, and Logit does not read their notes.
• Connected calendar — read-only. Logit never creates, edits, or deletes anything in your calendar.
• Connected health app — read-only, limited to the workout types you choose, and easy to disconnect whenever you want.

Anything you capture starts as a private entry that only you can see until you decide to share it. You can review these choices, export your data, or delete your account from Self at any time.

🌿 Why This Matters

A balance system should adapt to the person using it. Self keeps that control close — and keeps the numbers where you can read them without anyone else seeing them.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Self not have a target like the other rings? Because Self is the room the targets are set from. Giving the home base a score would turn the place you go for control into one more thing to keep up with.

Where do the radar's numbers come from? From entries you already wrote, including the ones a template or a connected service helped you create. Nothing is estimated on your behalf, and tapping an area opens the entries behind it.

Can I lower a target without losing anything? Yes. Targets are meant to move with your season. Lowering one changes nothing about your history.

Is Insights visible to anyone else? No. It is built only from your own evidence and is never a public score or a ranking.

Where do notifications live? In Self, grouped and calm, with a link straight to whatever each one is about. You can adjust or silence any of them from settings.
