Clear answers about what Omi is for, how daily check-ins work, what gets saved, and where a reflective tool should not replace professional support.
Basics
What Omi is for
What is Omi?
Omi is a reflective practice app that helps you understand what matters most to you, notice where your life feels aligned or out of sync, and make decisions with more clarity.
It is built for moments when you are thinking through a decision, tension, doubt, or question about yourself and want a grounded reflection back.
What can Omi help me with?
Omi can help you:
- Clarify your core values and what gives your life meaning.
- Understand patterns in how you make decisions.
- Notice where your choices do or do not match what matters to you.
- Reflect on a thought, decision, or tension through a daily check-in.
- Return to past insights when a similar situation comes up again.
Is Omi therapy?
No. Omi is not therapy, clinical treatment, diagnosis, or crisis support.
Omi is a reflective tool. It can help you look at your thoughts and choices more clearly, but it does not replace a therapist, doctor, or other qualified professional.
If you are in immediate danger or might hurt yourself or someone else, contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline right away.
Who is Omi for?
Omi is for adults who want to understand themselves more honestly and make decisions with more awareness.
It is especially useful if you often know something feels off, but you are not sure what to do with that awareness yet.
Reflection
Check-ins and insights
How does Omi work?
Omi starts by helping you build a personal baseline through a short assessment. The assessment looks at what matters to you, what energizes or drains you, and how your personality may shape the way you pursue meaning.
After that, you can use Omi for daily check-ins. You share what is on your mind, answer a few clarifying prompts when needed, and Omi gives you an insight grounded in your prior profile and the current situation.
What is the Meaning Blueprint?
Your Meaning Blueprint is a saved view of what Omi has learned from your assessment. It helps you return to the themes that matter most, including what energizes you, what drains you, and where your choices may feel aligned or misaligned.
What is a daily check-in?
A daily check-in is a place to bring whatever you are trying to figure out right now.
You can use it for a decision, a recurring thought, a relationship tension, a work question, or a moment where something feels harder than it should. Omi may ask follow-up questions before generating an insight.
What should I write in a check-in?
Write naturally. You do not need to sound polished.
A useful check-in usually includes:
- What happened or what you are deciding.
- What feels unclear, heavy, exciting, or uncomfortable.
- What choice you are leaning toward, if there is one.
- What you are afraid of, protecting, or hoping for.
Can I use voice instead of typing?
Omi supports reflection through text and voice where voice input is available. Voice can be helpful because it is often less edited and more natural.
If voice is not convenient, typing is fine.
Why does Omi ask follow-up questions?
Omi asks follow-up questions when it needs more context to give you a useful insight. The follow-ups are meant to sharpen the reflection, not make the process longer than necessary.
What if an insight feels wrong?
Treat the insight as a mirror, not a verdict.
If it feels wrong, ask what part is off. Sometimes the useful part is noticing what you disagree with. You can also do another check-in with more context.
How often should I use Omi?
Use Omi when you need clarity. That might be daily, weekly, or only when a decision or tension is asking for more attention.
Omi is not built around streaks. It is built around returning when the reflection is useful.
Why does Omi feel direct sometimes?
Omi is designed to be honest and reflective. It is not trying to flatter you or push you toward a specific life choice.
The goal is to help you see the tradeoffs, patterns, and values already present in what you shared.
Data
History, accounts, and sharing
What does Omi do with my answers?
Omi uses your answers to create structured reflections and insights. Your check-ins, assessment responses, and generated insights may be saved so you can return to them later and so Omi can give more relevant guidance over time.
Does Omi remember my past reflections?
Yes, when you are using an account or a guest session that still has its local session state, Omi can use prior reflections and assessment results to make future insights more personal.
The goal is not to judge you. It is to help Omi notice patterns you might miss in the moment.
What is History?
History is where completed check-ins and insights are saved. You can return to a previous check-in when a similar decision, tension, or pattern shows up again.
Can I share a check-in?
Completed check-ins with an insight may be shareable from History. Shared check-ins are meant for moments when you want someone else to understand the reflection you received.
Only share reflections you are comfortable letting someone else read.
Do I need an account?
You can start in guest mode, or you can sign in with email or Google when available.
An account is useful if you want your reflections and profile to be more reliably available across sessions and devices.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. In Settings, you can delete your account. Account deletion is permanent and removes your account, check-ins, insights, chats, notification data, and shared links.
Can I turn off notifications?
Yes. Notification settings can be managed from Settings. If notifications are enabled, Omi may use them for reminders and follow-ups.
Boundaries
When to get other support
What kinds of situations should I not use Omi for?
Do not use Omi as your only support for emergencies, active crisis, medical decisions, legal decisions, or situations where professional help is needed.
For high-stakes or urgent situations, involve the appropriate professional or emergency resource.
