Stay secure: Strong password tips and verification reminders appear during signup and inside your settings so you always know how to keep your account safe.
Recording an experience log
Choose the timing: Pick whether you are logging a current, past, future, or hypothetical experience, and then supply either a specific time or a relative offset when prompted.
Describe what happened: Add a narrative description plus quick internal and external context notes to capture the situation in plain language.
Track intoxicants (optional): Select any substances involved to unlock extra questions about cannabis method, THC amount, inhaled intensity, alcohol drinks, or other intoxicants.
Rate the moment: Use the X, Y, Z, and SoS sliders to score executive function, intensity, valence, and sense of self; the slider labels, ticks, and helper words update as you move them.
Save the entry: Submit the form to store the encrypted log. Immediately after saving you land on a confirmation page with quick links for what to do next.
Instant post-entry feedback
Radar snapshot: The confirmation page compares your latest X/Y/Z/SoS values against your personal averages in a radar chart and summary sentences.
Quick follow-up links: Jump straight to review logs, visit analytics pages, or start another entry using the curated link list under the chart.
Reviewing your history
History table: The History page lists every log with pagination, search, and columns for timestamps, contexts, tags, substance data, slider scores, and quick edit/delete buttons.
Bulk actions: Select individual or all rows to export CSV files, export numerical data, import CSVs, or delete multiple entries at once.
Calendar view: Switch to the calendar layout to browse days, weeks, months, or custom ranges, and add context events tied to your schedule.
Range insights: After choosing a date span, review streak counters, KDE heatmaps, top words, and quadrant summaries tailored to that window.
Context events
Log major events: Record big life moments with start/end times, type, title, and description so they appear alongside daily entries.
Track ongoing situations: Mark events as ongoing to hide the end field until the situation resolves.
Mental GPS heatmap
Visual map: Plot your entries on the Mental GPS heatmap, highlighting recent points and letting you adjust heatmap opacity, point fading, and color settings.
Entry drill-down: Select a dot to open rich entry details, including descriptions, context, tags, and quick links back to editing if needed.
Hypothetical stats: When working with approved hypothetical scenarios, review completion status, average slider values, and quadrant distribution just for that scenario.
Keyword navigation search
Boolean search: Combine words with AND, OR, NOT, commas, parentheses, and quotes to filter logs by theme.
Fine-tune results: Limit matches by time range or number of logs, then inspect the KDE density plot, summary stats, top associated words, and quadrant breakdowns for the filtered set.
Customize the map: Open advanced options to change background art, transparency, aura colors, dotted path styling, and axis limits.
Personal analytics
Statistics dashboard: Explore lexical variety, activity counts, circadian patterns, quadrant balance, variance, correlations, and identity metrics in collapsible sections.
Word insights: Generate word clouds, top word tables, trigger word split (positive vs. negative), word heatmaps, concept clusters, and unique lexicons.
Trends over time: Visualize weekly averages, time-of-day summaries, and outlier entries to spot longer-term shifts.
Interactive charts: Switch to the Analytics page for scatter plots, regressions, histograms, SoS heatmaps, and log timelines with a global date filter.
Stroop tests
Run a test: The Stroop page walks you through starting, completing, and securely storing test results alongside your encrypted experience sheet.
View results: Browse paginated Stroop runs with accuracy, reaction time, trial-by-trial tables, deletion controls, and auto-linked experience logs recorded near each test.
Dive into analytics: Open Stroop Analytics for aggregated performance metrics, comparisons, and paired insights (see HEXL analytics if you have admin access).
Citizen Science studies
Browse and launch studies: The Citizen Science hub lets you search, create, and join studies with cards showing enrollment status and actions.
Manage participation: Track joined studies, view participation dashboards, and follow timing rules from the dedicated study pages.
Personal settings and data control
