Manifestation with a scoreboard.
Set an intention, commit up front to how you'll grade it and how likely it honestly was, and tag your habits. Then find out whether your outcomes beat your own expectations, and which habits actually go with more wins. You don't have to guess whether it's working. You can see what's happening.
Turn "does this work?" into something you can check
The whole intention-setting category sells belief and avoids measurement. Latent does the opposite.
It turns a vague question, "does this work?", into one you can actually check: which of these habits go with more wins for me? Latent doesn't know whether intention-setting works. Neither do we. That's exactly why it's worth measuring, honestly, against your own record.
How an entry works
- WishWhat you want, written as it feels. No editing yourself into a spreadsheet yet.
- Make it realA checkable criterion and a deadline. Gentle, advisory hints nudge the one question that matters: could future-you answer this yes or no?
- How likely, honestly?On a 1–99 scale: how likely is this anyway? An honest 20% is what makes a later yes mean something.
- PracticesToggle any of four evidence-backed habits: next action, if-then plan, mental rehearsal, gratitude. Each one shows the research behind it.
Later you resolve each intention as hit, partial, miss, or void. Onboarding seeds a few fast-resolving intentions, so your first result lands within a couple of days.
Why your habits get locked in
Here you want the outcome, so being honestly unsure is normal and fine. You tag your habits before you know how things turn out, and they lock once you resolve. That way hindsight can't reach back and credit the habit that merely rode along with a win. That lock is what makes the "what actually works for you" view trustworthy.
How the score is made
Lift is the headline: your hit rate minus how likely you thought things were, in points.
It's the stat no belief-app will show you. Alongside it: a plain read of how well your hopes matched your results (a Brier score and calibration), and the part that matters most. See which of your habits actually go with more wins, shown only once there's enough to be fair, and always honest that it's a pattern, not proof.
The AI just helps you word it
A free, on-device writing assist turns a vague wish into a concrete, scoreable criterion. It only ever helps you word a wish so it's checkable. It never promises an outcome, never invents a number, and never gives medical or money advice. It's free on supported iPhones because it's a writing aid, not a premium prophecy, and it's part of logging, which is always free. Nothing you write leaves your phone.
