By Voice¶
Voice logging is the bread and butter of Cohearence — the lowest-friction way to get your daily behavior and patterns into the app. It lives front and center on the Log tab (the app's home screen).
How it works¶
- Tap the mic and speak naturally. Say whatever you'd normally say out loud — "had two coffees this morning, slept like garbage, and my knee's been bothering me since the run yesterday." There's no form to fill in and no metric to hunt for first. You can also type instead, using the text field below the mic.
- Cohearence transcribes and extracts. Your words are transcribed, then parsed into structured measurements — a value, a metric, and a timestamp for each thing you mentioned.
- Review before anything saves. Your spoken words stay on screen verbatim, as the source of truth. Beneath them, each extracted measurement appears as a proposed entry you can edit or skip individually — adjust the value, the timestamp, or a note, before anything is written. Nothing commits until you tap Log.
- Reply to adjust. If something doesn't look right, just type or say a correction ("actually make that 3 coffees") — Cohearence updates the proposal in place rather than starting over.
- Answers, not just logs. If you ask a question instead of describing something that happened — "what was my resting heart rate yesterday?" — Cohearence answers it directly instead of trying to log it. Nothing is written to your data in that case.
Occasionally Cohearence needs one more detail to log something correctly (which metric you meant, or a missing unit) and will ask a single clarifying question before proposing the write. It'll never ask more than a few follow-ups in a row — if it can't figure it out, it errs on the side of asking you rather than guessing.
After you log¶
Everything you've logged shows up in the Recent list below, grouped by day. Tap any entry to edit it, or swipe to delete (with a few seconds to undo). If you have metrics you track on a schedule, the Today checklist at the top surfaces anything still due — tap one to log it directly, prefilled and ready to go.
Tips¶
- Short, natural sentences work best — you don't need to name the exact metric name.
- Log as many things as you want in one sentence; each one becomes its own proposed measurement.
- If Cohearence creates a new metric you don't recognize, you can always edit or merge it later from the metrics overview.
