Something changed this week, and it is the thing that was missing.

The plan now changes when you tell it to

Say the caffeine cut-off isn’t working and Crowdseek offers you something else — smaller, or at a different time, or from a different angle, depending on what you tell it went wrong. You pick. Or you take it off altogether and the plan gets shorter.

That was always the idea. Until this week it wasn’t true. Now it is, and you can check it in a morning.

It notices what you quietly stop doing

You don’t have to write anything for it to spot the pattern. Leave the same thing untouched a few mornings running and it says so — not as a telling-off, but as an offer. Something you keep skipping is usually the plan’s fault, not yours, and it’s treated that way.

If you drifted, nothing is lost

There is no streak you broke and nothing to catch up on. Your plan is where you left it. Log one night and you are back.

What it actually asks of you

About a minute. One question about yesterday, a word for how the morning feels, a line about the night in your own words, and a tick against what you managed. Nia, Carys or Bryn answer it — by name, quoting what you wrote and what you actually did. Not a score. Never a score. And they are software — I’d rather say so now than have you work it out at 4am. It is also the reason they are awake at 4am at all.

What you write stays on your phone

Nobody at Crowdseek reads your night log. Not me, not anyone. The reply is built on your device instead of being sent to a server — that was a deliberate design decision, and it is why we can say it plainly rather than in the small print.

One ask

This is a beta, and it is the last one before the app itself. If something is wrong, clumsy or irritating, tell me. There is a feedback box at the bottom of the Crowd tab and it comes straight to me.

If you want to explain it to someone: every other sleep app scores your night. Crowdseek reads it — and changes tomorrow because of it.
