Nutrition, exercise, rest and stress management, in one record you keep.
What this is for
The question is not whether you are trying. It is whether you are doing the things you need right now.
Companion looks at four areas together rather than treating each as a separate fix. Nutrition, exercise, rest and stress move with each other, and an app that watches one of them at a time cannot see that.
One question a day, and it is not a food diary: was there one nourishing choice in it. Two weeks of meals sit behind that, with a shopping list built from the ones you pick and a matcher for whatever is already in the cupboard.
It asks whether movement fitted today, and takes resting as an answer rather than as a failure. Thirty-four movements are there for the days when the honest amount is five minutes on the stairs.
Rest is not only sleep, so the question is what rest actually looked like today. On a flare day the app offers the smallest useful version of everything else, because safety, nourishment, medication as directed, comfort and rest is a full day of work.
It asks how manageable the day has felt, and offers four breathing patterns and two guided practices for the days when the answer is that it has not been. Nothing is scored and nothing is timed against anybody else.
Push on one and the others move whether you meant them to or not. A week of broken sleep turns up in what you eat, and a stretch of pressure turns up in whether you move at all.
Companion keeps the four in one record, so what you have after a month is one account of a month rather than four separate ones.
The record
One row for each thing you note, one bar for each day. It fills in as you go, and there is nothing to catch up on.
Nothing here is rated, ranked, or compared with anyone else.
Everything you write stays on this device. There is no account, and no copy on any server, including ours.
No streaks, and nothing that gets worse the longer you leave it.
What it costs
$20 a month, or $199 a year.
Which is ten months for twelve. There is no introductory rate: the monthly price is the same in the first month as in the twelfth.
