Understanding your daily step

One change at a time, with a target number of days. What the step screen shows, what the statuses mean, and how a day gets counted.

REMI never asks you to change everything on day one. Your plan is broken into steps, and exactly one of them is live at a time — the next waits until the current one holds. That is the whole habit thesis of the product, and it is why your screen looks emptier than a to-do list.

What a step is made of

A title — one concrete change, small enough to do without rearranging your life. "One fermented food a day", not "improve your digestion".
A why — the thread back to the consultation, in your terms rather than the practitioner's shorthand.
A target: the number of days it takes for the step to count as held.
A count of the days applied so far, shown as a bar on Today and on Steps.

The four statuses

Upcoming — written into your plan, waiting its turn. It is not asking anything of you yet.
In progress — the one step that is live. Today shows it, and nothing else competes with it.
Held — you reached the target. It stays part of your routine, and the next step starts.
Skipped — set aside rather than failed. A step that does not fit your life is a fact about the step, and your practitioner can see it and choose something else.

A step that struggles holds the queue

REMI does not bury a difficult step under the next four. If a step is not being applied, it stays live and shows up on your practitioner's side as a sticking point — which is the moment to change the step, not to add another.

How a day gets counted

This is the part still being settled with the pilot cohort, and it is worth saying plainly: there is no button in REMI today that lets you mark a day as done. The step screen shows the step, its target and its progress, but the way a day gets recorded is being designed with the first practitioners rather than guessed at.

If the count looks wrong, say so

During the pilot, the safe assumption is that the number on your screen is a starting point for a conversation rather than a measurement of your week. Tell your practitioner what actually happened — that is the version that counts, and it is the version they act on.

Was this helpful?

These two buttons record nothing — there is no feedback pipeline behind them yet, and a control that quietly discards an answer is worse than none. Until there is one, tell us in a sentence and it reaches a person.
