Histos · Find what sits at the center of your life

Histos is a web application based on the Ikigai framework that helps users map what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for. It allows users to drag activities and interests into four overlapping circles and read the meaning in the intersections. The app includes a journaling feature that analyzes written entries to detect recurring values, sorting them into three categories: espoused, tested, and wobbly values. It is offered for free, requires no account, and states that user data stays within the browser.

The Ikigai view is exactly as it ships in the app and stays free. The full app remembers where you put things, so your map, graph and journal persist and stay linked. You can drag what fills your days into the circles, and where they overlap, meaning concentrates.

The journal listens for your values and sorts what it hears into espoused, tested and wobbly piles. Espoused values are ones you name but haven't yet lived. Tested values show up again and again in your entries and decisions, while wobbly values flicker, honored one week and contradicted the next.

Histos is offered for free and requires no account to start using. The website says the ikigai view is the same one that ships in the app and it stays free. The full app adds memory so your map, graph and journal persist and stay linked.

The journal links values the way memory does: loosely. When an entry touches a value, or something that rhymes with one, Histos links it loosely. Over time your values sort themselves into three honest piles based on this loose linking.

The journal sorts values for you, gently. Espoused values appear in what you say about yourself, not yet in what you do. Tested values keep turning up in decisions, entries and actions.

The app allows you to drag activities and interests into four overlapping circles. Where they overlap, meaning concentrates. You can read what the intersection says back after dropping an item where it belongs.

The website states that the journal checks the map against how you actually live. It notices when your writing touches a value or something adjacent to one. Histos links it the way memory does: loosely.
