Additional Notes
A More Mindful Experience
Version 1.0.2 represents a significant design evolution for Headge. We've focused on creating a calmer, more intentional experience that reflects the mindfulness principles at the heart of the app.
AI-Powered Trade Capture
The biggest addition in this release: snap a photo of your trade, and let AI handle the details.
Traditional trade journaling forces you to manually enter symbols, prices, and timestamps—pulling your attention away from what actually matters: understanding your emotional state and decision-making process. We've flipped this on its head.
- Just Take a Photo: Capture your broker's confirmation, chart screenshot, or trade ticket
- AI Extracts the Details: Our AI automatically identifies the symbol, direction, entry/exit prices, and timestamps
- You Focus on Psychology: While AI handles the mechanical data, you concentrate on logging your emotions, assessing your execution, and capturing lessons learned
This means faster journaling with richer psychological insights. The trades that teach you the most are the ones where you honestly reflect on your mental state—not the ones where you spent five minutes typing in numbers.
Zen-Inspired Homepage
The home screen has been completely reimagined with a meditation-focused aesthetic:
- Orbital Action Design: Your key actions—Scorecard, SOS, Quick Calm, and Log Trade—now orbit around a central breathing orb, creating a focused, intentional layout
- Ambient Atmosphere: Subtle floating particles and pulsing glow orbs create depth without distraction
- Trading Wisdom: A quote carousel featuring insights from legendary traders like Mark Douglas, Jesse Livermore, and Paul Tudor Jones provides daily inspiration
- Enhanced Breathing Orb: Larger, cleaner design with a subtle 2% breathing animation that shows your daily intention or session status
Simplified Trade Entry
Whether you use AI photo capture or enter details manually, the trade entry flow has been completely redesigned with clear, scannable sections:
- Trade Basics: Symbol, direction, outcome, and trade type (auto-filled when using photo capture)
- Qualitative Assessment: Setup quality and execution rating with intuitive card selection
- Emotional Check-in: Track how you felt entering and exiting trades
- Lessons & Mistakes: Quick-tap buttons for common takeaways
- Additional Notes: Freeform text and voice notes when you need more detail
The new card-based layout makes it faster to log trades while capturing the psychological insights that actually improve your trading.
New Welcome Experience
First impressions matter. The new 3-screen onboarding tells the Headge story:
- "Your Edge Isn't in the Charts": Introduces our core philosophy—mastering your mind is the real edge
- "Three Tools. One Mindset.": Showcases the Emotional Scorecard, Meditation Sessions, and SOS Emergency Resets
- "Invest in Yourself": Social proof and a clear call to action to begin your journey
Each screen features staggered animations and theme-aware backgrounds for a premium first impression.
