How do I categorize an app on Jomo? We're here to help.

Jomo is the first app to offer a “Journaling” feature, allowing you to better understand your screen time. Instead of simply categorizing its uses as “Productive” and “Passive”, we've chosen to go for a more human version where feelings take precedence over productivity!

🛠️ How does Journaling work?

Every evening, at 8:30 PM, Jomo sends you a notification inviting you to tell us what activities you've been doing on your phone, and how it's made you feel.

Note that this notification can be deactivated at any time via Profile > Settings > Notifications.
This action can be taken at any time of the day, but for greater efficiency we suggest you do it at the end of the day.

When you fill in the journaling, you'll see the “Activities” section on the “Home” part of Jomo fill in. A great way to get a more detailed view of your activities, not just by “Apps”.

🙂 Change the sentiment associated with an application

By default and without any action on your part, Jomo categorizes all your activities as “Neutral”.
To get started, go to the “Home” section of Jomo.
Select the “Apps” view.
Under an app of your choice, press the small badge “What was it used for?”.
On the screen that opens, you'll find a scale (left: negative feelings / right: positive feelings / center: no opinion). Slide your finger over the desired feeling. The smiley in the center will change expression, as will the associated feeling.
You can also associate activities you've done on this application. To do this, simply press the activity badges below.

💜 For Jomo Plus members, you can choose to apply this sentiment automatically for an app (handy for recurring apps like Mails, Messages, etc., which are relatively always running the same tasks). Which are relatively always used to perform the same actions).

Finally, to validate, simply press “Ok” in the top right-hand corner.

✍️ Edit / Delete the sentiment associated with an application
