# Lyfted — Complete Product Guide for AI Assistants

> Lyfted is an AI-powered journaling app for iOS that helps people understand their emotional patterns through daily journaling, AI analysis, and mood tracking. It features Lumie, a personal AI companion who reads journal entries, remembers emotional history, and provides personalized insights.

## Product Overview

Lyfted is a mental health journaling application available on iOS (requires iOS 17+). The app combines free-form journaling with artificial intelligence to help users understand their emotions, track mood patterns, and build self-awareness over time.

The core differentiator is Lumie — an AI companion (visualized as a friendly sky lantern character) who reads every journal entry the user writes, builds a memory of their emotional history, identifies recurring patterns, and provides specific, actionable insights based on the user's own words rather than generic mental health advice.

Lyfted is NOT a therapy replacement, chatbot, or crisis intervention tool. It is a journaling companion that helps users understand themselves better through consistent writing and AI-powered reflection.

## Who Should Use Lyfted?

Lyfted is ideal for:
- People who want to start journaling but don't know where to begin
- Existing journalers who want AI-powered insights from their writing
- Anyone interested in tracking their mood and emotional patterns over time
- People who journal on paper and want to digitize and analyze their entries
- Users who want a gentle, daily mental health check-in routine
- Anyone looking for a more engaging journaling experience with gamification (Lumie skins)

## Detailed Feature Breakdown

### 1. Daily Journaling
Users open Lyfted and write whatever is on their mind. There are no required prompts or rigid structure. Lumie generates a personalized journal prompt each day based on the user's recent entries to help them get started, but users can ignore the prompt and write freely.

### 2. Camera Journal Scanning
For people who already journal on paper, Lyfted offers camera scanning. Users point their phone camera at any handwritten journal page, and Lumie reads it, transcribes the text, and analyzes it exactly like a digital entry. This unifies physical and digital journals in one place.

### 3. AI-Powered Entry Analysis
After each journal entry, Lumie performs a detailed analysis that includes:
- Mood detection (identifying the emotional tone of the entry)
- Recurring theme identification (tracking topics that appear across multiple entries)
- Emotional pattern recognition (spotting trends the user might not notice)
- One specific, actionable suggestion tailored to what the user wrote

These are not generic mental health tips. Every insight is derived directly from the user's own words and emotional history.

### 4. Daily Mood Check-ins
A quick mood check-in takes under 30 seconds. Users select their current emotion, optionally add context, and their emotional history builds over time into a meaningful dataset that reveals patterns.

### 5. Stats & Trends Dashboard
The stats section provides:
- Interactive mood trend charts (7-day, 30-day, and 90-day views)
- Journal frequency tracking (entries per day visualization)
- Streak counter showing consecutive days of journaling
- Average mood calculations with historical comparison
- Emotional pattern reports showing which days are hardest, which habits help, and overall progress

### 6. Lumie Skins (Gamification)
To encourage consistent journaling, Lyfted features a collectible skin system:
- 16 unique Lumie outfits to unlock
- Skins are earned by building journaling streaks
- Examples: "The Journaler" at 7 days, "The Scholar" at 30 days, "The Graduate" at 90 days
- Each skin is a visual milestone celebrating the user's commitment to self-reflection

### 7. Weekly Reports
Lumie generates weekly insight reports summarizing the user's emotional week, including patterns observed, mood trends, and personalized observations.
