A Tour of Phase’s key features
The Phase Homescreen
Make it stand out
Your daily radar shows your cognitive strengths based on your cycle. For example, in this example, focus is high, reflection is moderately high, whereas, energy, motivation, communication and creativity are low.
Scroll through the days by swiping right, to see how your daily energy and cognition is expected to shift. Or dive deeper into what is happening today.
Below the radar, you can see which phase you are in. In this example, I am approaching the end of my luteal phase (hence the lower energy).
Your daily prompt outlines how you might feel on that day. It suggests some tasks best aligned to your strengths, based on where you are in your cycle.
On the current day, you can provide feedback (thumbs up / thumbs down) to let Phase know if it’s got how you are feeling right. This feedback will become valuable in tailoring the product more to you.
In the browser extension you’ll see exactly the same information as you do in the app, just right there, where you are working. This means, when responding to an email, or when trying to decipher why the strategy planning feels particularly easy today - you can check Phase to see if your hormones are part of the story!
Calendar Screen
Within the app, here you can put forward syncing to action, but selecting different cognitive elements to see how your strengths are likely to shift in the days / weeks ahead.
In the Calendar desktop extension, you can also use Phase to see how your cognitive strengths are shifting over the coming weeks.
When you go to create an event in your calendar, you will also see a handy prompt that shows you how you are likely to feel that day, and what meetings or schedule is going to work best for you.

Making Phase your own
Phase is your personal side-kick, designed to help you understand yourself better, guiding you to strategically manage your productivity in line with your biology. You can personalise Phase by:
Ensuring that you have correctly added your name and date of birth
Provided accurate period history. In time, if you are already tracking your period elsewhere, you will be able to integrate with Phase and import that information.
Provide feedback on whether or not your daily radar is representative of how you feel
We will be adding additional layers of personalisation over the coming months - so keep your eyes peeled for updates.
We are always interested in how Phase has helped to shape your work and life. Got a user story? Or maybe a lingering question? Then reach out to us at support@phaseapp.io
