Pattern Sky

A living star map of your journal. Every domain, tag, theme, and person in your entries becomes a star; entries that share context connect them into constellations. The longer you use tellmint, the richer and more beautiful your sky becomes.

Where to find it

  1. Open the feed and tap the stats pill at the top (it shows your streak and entry count). This opens Insights.
  2. Switch to the Patterns tab.
  3. Tap the Enter sky button.

What you can do

  • Pan: drag to move around the sky.
  • Zoom: pinch to zoom in on a cluster; pinch out to see the whole sky.
  • Tap a star: see its name, how many entries it connects, and the dominant mood of the cluster around it (leaning positive, neutral, or negative). The camera gently travels to focus on it.
  • Filter the sky: use the controls sheet at the bottom to filter by domain, tag, theme, person, or emotion valence (positive / neutral / negative).
  • Change time window: top selector: 7 days, 30 days, This year, All time.
  • Replay growth: hit the play button to watch the sky form month by month.
  • Export postcard: save a shareable image of your sky (domains and stars only, no entry text).
  • Search the sky: tap the search icon in the top bar, then type or use the filters to find a star.
  • Focus a result: tap a result, then tap Focus this cluster to return to the sky centered on that cluster.

How to read the sky

  • Domains are the brightest, largest stars, your Life areas (Work, Health, Home, etc.).
  • Tags are medium stars around domains.
  • Themes are AI-extracted concepts, shown as planets.
  • People appear as small ringed stars.
  • Edges between stars mean entries connect them (shared topic, shared emotion, shared context).
  • Small, isolated clusters often represent new interests, areas you've just started exploring.
  • Big, dense clusters are places where you spend emotional energy, whether you mean to or not.

Good to know

  • Pattern Sky is built on your phone, not on a server. It works offline (semantic labels may be blank until the next online run).
  • The first time you open it you'll see a short intro overlay explaining the controls; it won't come back.
  • Focus travel animates smoothly: cancelling mid-flight works cleanly without snapping the camera.
  • The sky has a fixed dark look: it doesn't follow your app theme. The same mint-and-night palette is used across Tellmint / Warm Paper / Monochrome so the feature stays recognisable.
  • Exported postcards never include entry titles or tags: only the shape of your sky.
