The reference for all five: what each pillar reads, what it can guide, and how they wire into one system. For the felt version of that idea, see The system.
A pillar counts toward the score only once there is real evidence behind it.
Body
Body v3.1Recovery, strain, sleep, workouts, movement, soreness.
Recovery sizes every day.
Body is the readiness engine. It reads your overnight signals into a recovery score, then bends the day’s training to match. Here’s your week, coloured by band, with strain drawn on top.
Recovery from overnight signals on your wearable · a readiness guide, never a medical or clinical score · intensity moves within safe bands
Fuel
Fuel v3.0Meals, hydration, digestion, timing, energy response.
It learns how lunch shapes your afternoon.
Fuel isn’t a food diary. It watches what follows a meal and only draws the link once it repeats. Here it’s caught a late, light lunch pulling your 3pm down, six times over.
Photo, barcode and voice on supported devices · you confirm every value · patterns bias your guide, never a diet or a rule
Mind
Mind v4 · NeuroWellnessMood, calm, stress, focus, emotional load.
It learns what actually settles you.
On heavy days Mind reaches for the lighter option, then reads whether it worked. Over time it ranks what drops your load fastest, from your own data, and offers that first.
System load is read from your physiology, never a diagnosis · what settles you is learned from your own days, never prescribed
Skin
Skin v3Skin scans, routines, barrier, triggers, weather response.
Every product you use, known rather than typed.
Skin is the one pillar where what you put on matters as much as what you do. Scan a product and TIDES identifies it, files it in your locker, and reads how it fits the skin it already knows. Follow one product all the way through.
Scan
Scan a barcode or the bottle.
Point the camera at a skincare product, either its barcode or the label itself. No typing, no hunting through a database.
Barcode readIdentify
It becomes a real product.
TIDES matches it to the actual item using public product databases: name, category, and the key actives it contains.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% · serumActives · niacinamide, zincLocker
It lands in your Skin Locker.
Everything you use, kept in one place. Sorted into AM and PM, actives flagged, never re-entered by hand.
Gentle cleanser · Niacinamide serum · SPF 50AM · 3Fit
How it fits your skin, not a diagnosis.
Signal reads the product against your barrier, your routine, and what your skin has reacted to. When it hasn’t seen enough yet, it says so instead of guessing.
Fits your current routine, no clash with your actives · still learning your reaction (2 uses logged).
Product identity from public databases · the fit read is guidance about your routine, never a dermatological diagnosis · TIDES never prescribes
Protocol
Track & log onlySupplements, timing, routines, adherence, effects. Track and log only, never doses, never diagnosis.
Track and log only. Never doses, never diagnosis.
Explore ProtocolSee what’s still working.
Log a coffee or a supplement and TIDES draws its half-life, so you can see when it’s likely still active and how that lands against tonight’s sleep. It reads your log; it never tells you what to take.
Timing context from what you logged · never a dose, a schedule, or a substance recommendation · not medical advice
The Guide
Not a tracker with tips. A program that adapts.
Body, Fuel and Mind each run a real, periodized program, built from a deep intake, shaped by a state engine earned from your own data, and re-shaped by what you capture. The loop is closed: what you log changes the plan, and Signal tells you why.
Intake
It starts with a consult, not a quiz.
A deep intake shapes the program to you, training age and real capacity for Body, a delivery mode and body stats for Fuel, your environment and stress landscape for Mind. Not a template with your name on it.
Hybrid dial · modality · capacity baseline · limitationsState
A state you earn, never a fabricated number.
Each pillar reads a state engine from your own signals: athletic traits, energy balance, ten mental capacities. Until it has enough to be honest, it says it’s still learning instead of guessing.
Focus · strongEarned from your check-ins · still forming, not a testProgram
A periodized program, not a fixed plan.
Phases that build on each other, mesocycles for Body, portion or macro delivery for Fuel, a Foundation-to-Maintenance arc for Mind, on a clock that actually advances.
Week 3 of 12 · BuildPhase 2Adapt
What you capture re-shapes the plan.
The loop is closed. Log a hard session, a weigh-in, or a rough week and the program bends to it, more volume or a deload, a target that follows your real trend, a phase that holds while you consolidate.
Weigh-in logged → today’s target moved 2,200 → 1,980 kcal, plate and ring with it.Why
Every change comes with a plain reason.
Signal never moves your plan silently. When the program adapts, it tells you what it saw and what it did, a receipt, in plain words, not a black box.
“Added a set to back, you recovered well and hit your reps.”
What you log, what moves.
Three closed loops, one per pillar. Capture isn’t bookkeeping, it’s the input the program adapts on.
You log a hard session
Next week’s per-muscle volume moves, and a crashed recovery pulls a deload forward.
You log your weight
Your calorie target follows your real trend, not a fixed formula, plate and ring move with it.
You check in through a rough week
The program holds its phase and consolidates, no penalty for a hard stretch.
Programs adapt within safe bands · state is earned from your own data, never fabricated · every adaptation carries a plain reason · a readiness guide, never a medical or clinical prescription
How the pillars read each other.
Five pillars, weighted into one score, and reading each other
Body 35%. Fuel 20%. Mind 15%. Skin 10%. Protocol 20%. Body and Mind, Fuel and Skin, and Mind and Protocol read each other.Heart rateMind stress and Body strain
Because an elevated resting HR reads as load on both.
SleepBody and Mind
Because short nights pull recovery and mood together.
WeatherSkin
Because UV, dry air, and pollution shift the day’s routine guidance.
FuelMind and Skin
Because late or light fueling shows up in afternoon focus and next-day skin.
Protocol timingrecovery and rhythm
Because consistent windows steady the whole system’s read.
These links only bias your guides once they repeat in your own data: observing at 3 days of overlap, developing at 7, reliable at 14. TIDES shows the stage honestly.
