Practices, choose, do, log

A practice is the thing you actually do: meditate, move, breathe, journal. Logging your practice is the heart of Frequency, it is how showing up turns into progress.

Two ways to have a practice

• Your Circle's practice. A Circle Host sets what the Circle is practicing. Open your Circle and you will see "This week's practice" with a button to log it.
• Your own practice. Not in a Circle yet, or want something extra? Go to Practices, browse the library, and adopt one for yourself.

Log it

Each practice you've adopted sits in your practices row, one tight line each with a View practice link to open its page. How you mark it done depends on the practice, and the button tells you which at a glance:

• A timed practice shows Start Practice with a little timer icon. Tap it and Mindless opens to run it; finishing the timer is what logs the day.
• A log-it practice (an action or a reflection, no timer) shows a check-off: tap Log it and it's done in one tap.

Either way, marking any practice done, your own or your Circle's, earns Zaps (the in-person, real-world currency). It also:

• keeps your streak alive, and
• counts you as active for the week.

Once it's done, the row reads Logged today. Tapped it by mistake? Hit Undo to un-log it, same day only. After today the log is locked in.

You can log a practice once per day. Do it for a few days in a row and the streak starts to pull you back, which is exactly the point.

One timer, two modes. Mindless has Be Still for a sit and Get Moving for a walk, run, yoga, strength, stretch or play. A timed practice can come preset by whoever built it, its mode, its length, its warm-up, even a full workout like Tabata, so it opens ready to go and you just start.

Adopt or change anytime

Adopt as many practices as you like from the library, and remove any that no longer fit. If you host a Circle, you can change the Circle's practice whenever the focus shifts.

Make it your own

You can shape practices, not just pick them:

• Create one with Vera. On Practices, hit Create a practice to open the builder. Answer a few quick questions (who it is for, the act itself, what you want out of it, how often, and how long) and Vera drafts the whole thing: a name, a hook, the steps, a cadence, and a Pillar. Review it, change anything, and create. Already wrote your practice somewhere else? Paste it and Vera shapes it into the same fields. Want to start from scratch instead? Pick "Skip, I'll build it myself" to go straight to the editor. Creating a practice is a Crew thing, and Crew is free during the beta: if you are not Crew yet, "Create a practice" offers a one-tap upgrade, no card. Any member can still adopt a practice and log it.
• Edit yours. Any practice you created shows an Edit button. Change its name, summary, full "how to" guide, cadence, Pillar, category, and icon by hand, or use Edit with Vera to make a change in plain language ("make it a morning sit," "cut it to five minutes").
• Set up how it runs. In the editor, How it's done picks the timer: Mindless (a quiet Be Still sit, and you choose the flavour, Meditate, Breathe, Stillness, Ritual, Journal or Just Log), Get Moving (a walk, run, yoga, stretch, play, or a full strength workout with the work, rest and rounds set), or Log it (a one-tap check-off, no timer). You can add a warm-up message and count-in, and lock the length so it runs exactly as you set it. Short notes in the editor explain each choice, and it all ships preset so the member just taps and starts.
• Remix one from the library. See a practice that is close but not quite yours? Hit Remix to make your own copy and edit it freely. The idea is to put your own spin on it, a new angle or your own niche, not to repost the same thing. The original stays exactly as it was for everyone else.

(Editing covers the content and cadence. What a log is worth in Zaps is set by the team so the Quest stays fair: most Quest practices are valued by how often you do them, not how hard they are.)

Claim a starter template

Many library practices are templates: a proven starting point you can claim and make your own. Open one and hit Claim & make it yours:

1. Tell Vera what you want from it and when you can realistically do it.
2. Vera shapes a personal version: a name, a cadence that fits your week, and concrete steps for you. (No Vera handy? Skip and tweak it yourself.)
3. Review, edit anything, and claim it. You get your own private copy, it is adopted onto your list, and you earn Zaps for claiming your first one.

From there it is yours: edit it anytime, log it daily, and, if you want, share it back to the community library for others to find. On your own practice you’ll see a Propose to Library button: tap it and your practice goes to the community leaders for a quick review. Once they approve it, it appears in the library for everyone (until then it shows as “In review”, and it stays private to you).

What each practice shows

Open any practice and you get its own page: a header image, the full "how to do it" write-up and steps, a short summary, its Pillar and sub-category, and a stats band: the reward per log, the cadence, how many people are practising it, and how many times it has been logged.

Each practice also has a category (movement, holistic health, spirituality, creative, human relating, business support) and a cadence hint (daily, weekly, as needed). The library is browsable by what you are drawn to.

If a practice is part of any Journeys or is being run by any Circles, the page shows a "Used in" section linking to them, a quick way to find a Journey built around it or a Circle already practising it together.

Find your way around the library

The library is organized so you can find practices that fit you, even as it grows to thousands:

• Search. Use the search box to find a practice by name or description.
• Pillars and sub-categories. Everything sits under one of the four Pillars (Mind, Body, Spirit, Expression), and within a Pillar you can narrow to a sub-category (for example Body → Cardio, Strength, Mobility).
• Tags. Practices carry tags like morning, quick, outdoor, or social so you can spot what suits the moment. When you create or edit your own practice, add your own tags to help others find it.
• Sort. Browse by Trending (what people are doing lately), All-time, or New. Trending is the default, so the practices the community is loving rise to the top.

Rewards vary by practice

What a log is worth depends on the practice. Most Quest practices are valued by their cadence, how often you do them: Daily (10 Zaps), a few times a week (15 Zaps), or Weekly (25 Zaps). The rarer the ask, the more each log gives back, so the value comes from showing up to the rhythm, not from how hard the practice is. Some other practices instead carry a weight class (Light 8, Standard 12, Heavy 15 Zaps). Either way, each practice page shows its reward up front, so you know what logging it is worth before you commit, and logging any practice always earns Zaps.
