My weather today: how am I right now?
A mood and energy check-in, also called How am I right now? The full forecast is also called Today’s Weather
What it does: four quick taps, or one minute on your mood, sleep, body and what’s coming up today. What you get: calm, revved up or running on empty, with what helps right now; or today’s full forecast: what today is good for, a good time to talk, and a private log of your patterns if you want one. 20 seconds to a minute
People have inner weather. Some mornings are clear, some are gusty, some are fogged in, and it changes without asking your permission. This is a one-minute reading of today's conditions: the sky, the pressure, the ground underneath, and what's blowing in.
We use weather on purpose. Weather isn't a grade, a diagnosis or a verdict on you, any more than rain is a verdict on a town. Conditions pass. Knowing them just tells you what today is good for, and what to leave until the front moves through.
Check today's weather
Quick check: four taps
Four quick taps about your body, your thoughts and what you feel like doing. They place you on the ladder: calm and connected (a clear sky), revved up (gusty), or running on empty (fogged in). It’s a best guess, not a reading. Nothing you tap leaves this device.
Step 1 of 8 · required
The sky
Pick the one closest to true right now. This is a reading of you, never of anyone else. Hard to tell? That's common. Pick the nearest one. You can change it any time.
Where do these three come from? (optional)
They're loosely borrowed from polyvagal theory, a popular idea about the nervous system that researchers still debate, which has its own science names for them. Here they're only everyday words for how you feel, not a measurement of your body: Clear means calm and connected, Gusty means revved up, and Fogged in means running on empty.
Step 2 of 8 optional
Who you'll mostly be around today
Pick one, and the forecast words its advice for them. Any kind of relationship counts.
Step 3 of 8 optional
The pressure
How much were you already carrying before whatever just happened?
Want to score it? How much are you carrying? (WP-02) is a two-minute load check that separates what you already carry from today’s upset.
Step 4 of 8 optional
Ground conditions
The body underneath the mood. Tap anything true today.
Step 5 of 8 optional
Last night's sleep
Roughly. Sleep counts for a lot in this reading, because a short night makes almost everything feel heavier.
Step 6 of 8 optional
People load
How much time with other people has today already asked of you?
Step 7 of 8 optional
What's blowing in
The fronts on the horizon. Tap any that are sitting on you today.
Step 8 of 8 optional
What would actually help in the next hour?
Pick as many as fit. Naming it is most of the work.

Pick the sky in step 1 to begin
Answer step 1 and the forecast fills in. Every extra step sharpens it, and none of them are required.
A gentle pause before you talk
The forecast suggests waiting a little. If you like, start a pause here: a quiet countdown on this page, plus something calm to do while the time goes by, picked at random. Close it anytime.
Your pause is over. Take a breath and see how the sky looks now. If you feel ready, here's the sentence from your forecast:
If you're not ready yet, that's fine too. Waiting longer is allowed.

How this reading works
It's a rough tally of what you told it, not a measurement. The sky sets the starting point. Heavy pressure, a short night, a lot of people time, body needs and open worries each add a little. A step you skip counts as a small, middle amount. The talk window mostly follows the sky: clear skies are good for talking, gusty skies say wait a little, and fog says leave it for another day.
The tally runs from 0 to 100, and higher means a heavier day. Under 45 reads as lots of room today, 45 to 64 as some room, and 65 or more as very little room. The numbers stay hidden unless you tick “Show the numbers behind this.”
“Share my forecast” copies a short heads-up you can paste into a message yourself. Nothing is sent from this page. Saving is optional: your almanac keeps this reading in this browser only (in its local storage), never on a server, along with the readings from other days you saved (up to 120), and you can download it or erase it at any time.
Today side by side with someone? Only if you both want to
Your weather is yours. Nothing here is shared unless you choose to. If you both want to, each of you sends today’s reading in a link, and you see the two side by side. Only today’s reading goes, never your almanac.

Nothing here yet. Chapters you read to the end, tools you get a result from, worksheets you keep and small wins you note will show up here.
Gathered from notes other pages already keep in this browser. See or erase each one on What’s stored on this device.
Erase every saved weather reading from this browser? There’s no copy anywhere else, so this can’t be undone. (The things-finished list stays because it belongs to other pages.)
Downloads are made right here on this device and go only where you save them. A .csv opens in any spreadsheet. A .json keeps every detail.
What this is not. It isn't a diagnosis, a grade or a judgment, and it can't tell you anything about your health. It describes a few hours of conditions, and conditions change. A heavy reading is information about a day, not a failing in a person.
