First session mapAfter account creation, UYB gives you a map.
Use this as the short version of the first run: Today, Profile, Private Write, and one shared journal stay separate so you can move gently.
Today shows the safest private action first so the account screen does not drop you into a blank app.
Choose your private label, guidance tone, support mode, reminders, avatar, theme, and sticker when you are ready.
Use one private sentence, a longer note, or Vent Space before deciding whether another person should be invited.
Create one guided question, write privately, and share the invite only when the moment feels right.
