How to Log an Episode in Under 30 Seconds

Who this is for: Anyone who wants the attack to become a data point — evidence that attacks end, and material for understanding them.

Maya logs everything, usually from the couch right after a flow ends, phone in hand. The 30-second criterion is the release's core metric: logging has to fit inside the exhausted aftermath of an attack, not compete with it.

Steps​

  1. Open the new-episode form. The easiest path: after completing a relief flow while signed in, the app asks "Log this session?" — tap yes and the form opens with the date and time defaulted to now. You can also start a new episode from the Log page directly.

  2. Tap an intensity from 1 to 10. The scale is a row of large, separately tappable buttons. There is no default and no preselection — you choose explicitly, because "how bad was it" is your call, not the app's.

  3. Pick triggers and what helped from quick picks. Common triggers and techniques are one tap each; free text is available too if the quick picks don't fit.

  4. Optionally add a short reflection. Two or three sentences is plenty. This is optional — a logged intensity alone is already a data point.

  5. Save. The episode appears at the top of your Log, most recent first.

Expected Outcome​

The episode is saved in under 30 seconds, with your chosen intensity, triggers, what helped, and any reflection. It appears at the top of your history with an intensity indicator.

Notes​

  • No intensity, no save — on purpose. If you tap save without choosing an intensity, an inline message tells you what's missing in plain language, the focus moves to the intensity control, and everything you already entered is still there. No modal, no data loss.
  • Saving while offline keeps your draft. A calm inline error appears and your draft stays in the form; retry when connectivity returns. Nothing implies the episode is lost.
  • The log is yours alone. Episodes are stored server-side under your account and visible only to you.
  • Reflections attach to the episode. A reflection you add is linked to that episode in your history — see adding a reflection to a past episode.
