Mentavo

How it works

How single entries turn into a connection.

Mentavo doesn't collect data to hand it back to you as a chart. It records what you notice in everyday life anyway — and makes visible what keeps coming back.

Six steps that build on each other

  1. 01Today

    You record what's happening.

    A check-in on mood and energy, a thought, a completed routine, a goal step. Short enough to still manage on a full day.

    Today

  2. 02

    Mentavo knows your personal context.

    Those entries don't sit side by side — they sit together: which day it was, what you had planned, what ran differently recently.

  3. 03Today · Planning

    That becomes a next step you can act on.

    “Today” suggests exactly one step and names the deciding reason. “Planning” holds the frame around it — week, month, goals, routines.

  4. 04Discover

    Recurring connections become visible.

    When the same combination appears often enough, it shows up in your Mentavo Map — with the comparison values and the number of days behind it.

  5. 05Chats

    You can think those topics through.

    A recognised pattern can be carried straight into a conversation — in whichever perspective fits the question.

    Over longer stretches, change becomes visible.

    Single days fluctuate. Only across weeks does it show what has actually shifted — in mood, journaling, activity, goals and routines.

Why it gets better over time

Early on, Mentavo deliberately shows very little. A connection resting on three days isn't one — and Mentavo doesn't pretend otherwise.

Only once enough real days are recorded do comparison periods exist that a pattern could be read from at all. That's why the Mentavo Map grows with you instead of being complete on day one.

What Mentavo explicitly does not do

  • Mentavo does not prove causes.

    A recognised connection means two things often occur together. Which of them comes from the other, Mentavo doesn't say — because your entries can't tell it that.

  • An experiment is an observation period.

    Across 7 or 14 days, Mentavo gathers further evidence about a pattern. That sharpens the picture, but it is not proof of effect.

  • Mentavo does not replace therapy.

    Mentavo is a tool for self-observation and everyday orientation — not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment, and not a diagnosis. If you're worried about your health, please speak to a doctor or a qualified mental health professional.

  • There is no Mentavo score.

    Mentavo doesn't rate you with a number and shows no “strength” for a pattern. Only values that genuinely follow from your entries are displayed.
