A short walkthrough

How to use Thinstep

New here, or need a gentle reminder? Follow the loop once. After that, Today is usually enough.

Your first day

  1. Create a free account

    Sign up with email or Google. Free keeps scores, goals, actions, and check-ins forever. No card required to start.

  2. Take the assessment

    Open Assess and drag each bar to match how life feels this week. There are no wrong answers — only a clearer next step. It usually takes a few quiet minutes.

    Open Assess

  3. Read Today

    Your dashboard shows five life areas and names one thin spot — the place that needs the gentlest care first. Focus on that area for about twenty minutes, not everything at once.

    Open Today

  4. Set a goal, then one action

    In Goals, write a small aim for the thin spot. In Actions, keep one next step you can finish soon. Mark it done when you do — that is the win.

    Open Goals

  5. Check in when you need a pause

    Check-in is a mood, energy, and stress snapshot. It does not replace your official scores. Use it when you want to stay kind and current.

    Open Check-in

  6. Optional: talk with Coach

    Coach is an optional in-app assistant on Pro and Premium. Free still works fully without it. Cards and subscriptions are handled by Polar.

A daily reminder

Open Today. Notice the thin spot. Take one small action. Check in if the day feels heavy. Reassess when a week has passed or life has clearly shifted.

You do not need a perfect streak. One kind step is enough for the day.
