How to use the Behavidence App

 

There are many ways for you to use our app.

Behavidence can help you as much or as little as you want it to.

You can simply look at the data every day,

or you could use it to journal your current stress, anxiety, mood or medical conditions.

This will teach you how your digital behavior can reflect or affect your wellbeing. 

 

Our app runs in the background so what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. Journaling is easy to do. 

1. Click on the Behavidence Home button at the bottom right hand side of the screen

2. Go into Journal Entry. 

3. Type in a journal entry of your current mental condition. This can be anything you are experiencing - joy, anxiety, irritability, depression or anything else you feel.

4. Keep track of your journal entries and see how they are reflected by how you use your phone. 

5. You are also able to keep track of your journal entries on each individual app graph.

6. These entries will enable you to see which digital behaviors on your phone are recurrently associated with certain moods and also which triggers certain feelings. 

So, if you are feeling some kind of way - add it to your daily journal. Here is an example: 

1. James felt very stressed on Monday and Thursday.

2. He entered a journal item on both days saying "Feeling very stressed today".

3. At the end of the week he looked at Behavidence and saw that each day he had felt more stressed, his usage patterns of social apps had been different. He was opening the apps less frequently, but every session on the app was longer than average.

4. James decided to see if he can limit the social apps session times and see if it helped reduce his feelings of being stressed.
