A first week with OwnMynd.

1. Create an account

Sign up with email and a password. If we ask you to confirm the email, open that link, then sign in. The first screen can take up to a minute while the scoring server wakes up. That is normal.

You must be 18 or older. Creating an account means you accept Privacy and Terms. You will also confirm that age in-app (no birth date).

2. Get set up (about a minute)

After sign-up, a short setup asks which kinds of writing you do and how you use AI. Then it offers two optional steps: two writing samples of one kind (they set 100 as your usual for your writing score), and a 10-minute repeat prompt. Skip either and add them later from Your writing.

Setup is not a test and does not affect your Mynd score. Your writing is analyzed and not stored as text. It is never sent to an AI model.

3. Take a daily check

The daily check takes about 5 minutes. You tap how you slept and how alert you feel, answer two quick questions about the passage from your last check, read a new short passage, answer six reasoning questions (tapping how sure you are after each), then write down what you remember. Before your first check, a short explainer walks through each question type with examples.

Your first two days are warm-ups and don’t count. Your next five check days set your starting point (your 100). Three more days and a provisional Mynd score appears with a range; it settles after seven. Only your first check each day counts, and only if you did it on your own. Pasting is blocked, and a check doesn’t count if you paste, leave the tab for more than a minute, or rush most answers in under two seconds.

After you score a piece of writing you can add up to three key points. A check a few days later asks you to recall them, and Home compares how much you remember of your own writing with pieces AI helped write.

The Mynd score comes only from daily checks. Writing you paste and practice exercises never change it.

4. Score writing (optional)

On Score writing, paste a piece or upload a .txt / .md file. Pick the kind of writing, say how much AI helped, and answer a few quick questions about it. You get a writing score: 100 is your usual for that kind. You can also tell us whether it felt fair.

Home also shows a writing average: the mean of each writing type’s average of everyday pieces. Pieces marked tired, rushed, unusual, unlabeled, or heavily AI-assisted stay on the chart as grey dots but are left out of the average. The average becomes a reliable trend after about four pieces across more than a week.

5. Practice (optional)

Quick exercises on Home keep your thinking sharp. Skip any of them; they never change your scores. Sometimes a learning card is offered. You choose whether to start it. After the same short passage, some people get a recall prompt and some don’t, decided at random so we can learn what helps. A quick recall check may appear the next day.

6. Optional Chrome extension

Install OwnMynd from the Chrome Web Store when the listing is live. Until then, only people helping us test should load an unpacked build.

• Pin OwnMynd in the Chrome toolbar (puzzle piece → pin).
• Open Settings on this site while signed in. Click Connect Chrome extension.
• On a normal page (not OwnMynd), click the toolbar icon. A bubble appears. Click it to open the panel.
• Highlight writing, or paste into the box if the highlight is empty (common in Google Docs). Score. The panel does not read the page until you open it.

Signing in on the website is not the same as Connect. If the extension still asks, use Reconnect on Settings.
