Add a client and send them a check-in. They answer on their phone in under two minutes.
Their week arrives as a trend, not a pile of messages - energy, follow-through, and their own words.
At month six, show them where they started. Visible progress is what renews engagements.
Client check-ins use PANAS, a peer-reviewed affect scale used in clinical research - so the signal actually means something.
Clients decide what they share and can revoke it at any time. That is what makes honest answers possible.
Check-ins send themselves and surface the weeks that need you. Nothing to chase, nothing to transcribe.
Open a client and the last month is already there — how they have actually been, not how they remember it on the day.
A prompt they answer on a Tuesday is worth more than one they answer in front of you.
Set a prompt with a due date. Their answers come back into the shared timeline.
Consistency and last check-in sit at the top of every client, so nobody drifts unnoticed.
The private note you wrote after one session is waiting at the top of the next.
Clients grant each kind of data separately and can withdraw any of it at any time. That is why they agree to it — and it is the difference between a tool they tolerate and one they use.
