The daily flow
What a typical day looks like in the app. Two minutes, one moment, no chat.
Updated June 15, 2026
Opening Nyra is meant to take two minutes, ceiling. There is no feed to scroll, no streak to keep, no notification storm, and no reply to wait for. It is a notebook your clinician can read, not a chatbot.
What you actually do
Three things, that is it:
- Write or speak, once a day. One moment from your day, in your words. Two sentences is enough. For example: "I was up at 4 again. Couldn't put down the work email."
- Three brief check-ins. On day 1, day 7, and day 14, a short standard survey: PHQ-9 (a 9-item depression screener), and GAD-7 (a 7-item anxiety screener) from day 7 on. Four taps each.
- Your clinician walks in prepared. Your reflections become patterns the clinician can read before your next visit. You do not start from zero.
A day in 90 seconds
| Time | Step | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 00:00 | One prompt | A single line: "One moment from today." No feed, no streak count. |
| 00:30 | Write or speak | Tap to write or hold to record. Voice transcribes on-device and the audio is discarded. Two sentences is enough. |
| 01:10 | Optional scale | On check-in days only (1, 7, 14), one short question. Four taps. The scale is standard, not bespoke. |
| 01:45 | Done | The screen closes. Your clinician sees patterns before the next visit, not your raw words. |
Three things to know
- Voice is transcribed on-device. The audio file never leaves your phone.
- No reply is expected. Nyra is not a chatbot.
- Scale prompts only show up on day 1, day 7, and day 14. The other days are just one line.
What if you miss a day?
Nothing happens. There is no streak to lose and no late penalty. The pattern your clinician reads is robust to skipped days; that is the design.
The 14-day arc
Two weeks, three checkpoints. PHQ-9 lands on day 1. Both PHQ-9 and GAD-7 return on day 7 and day 14. In between, it is one reflection a day, and the survey simply does not appear.
