Your home screen
The first thing Baojai shows you: how you are doing today, one button to start, and the four places you are most likely to be going. Everything here is a shortcut to somewhere else — nothing lives only on this screen.
Signed in. What the card at the top shows depends on what the app knows about you, so a new account sees prompts where a long-standing one sees numbers.
Steps
- 1
Open the app. Home is where it starts.
You should see · A card ① with today at a glance — sleep, resting heart rate, your last session — and a chip ② showing whether a ring is connected.
What it means · The numbers on ① come from a wearable, not from the phone. Without one paired, this card invites you to connect a device instead of showing readings, and that is the normal state — not a loading failure.
- 2
Check the ring chip ① before a session you care about.
You should see · It tells you whether the ring is connected right now.
What it means · Tapping it takes you to pairing. This is worth a glance before you record: a session run with the ring disconnected still saves, it just has no heart data in it, and there is no way to add that afterwards.
- 3
Press the big button ① to start a session.
You should see · The camera opens, ready to measure while you meditate.
What it means · This is the same place the Record tab goes. It is on Home too because it is the one thing the app wants you to do, and burying it one tap deeper measurably means it happens less.
- 4
Scroll down to the four shortcuts.
You should see · ① make a meditation with AI, ② your health readings, ③ your paired devices, ④ your session history.
What it means · ③ Devices is the one to remember. When a ring stops reporting, that is where you go — not to the chip at the top, which only tells you the state and cannot fix it.
- 5
Look at the three controls in the top corner.
You should see · ① the AI chat, ② your notifications, ③ your profile. A dot on ② means something is waiting.
What it means · The dot on ② is only a dot — it does not count anything. Opening the list marks everything read at once, so there is no way to leave one unread for later; read it when you can act on it.
How to tell it worked
- ✓You can start a session from Home without going to another tab.
- ✓You can tell at a glance whether a ring is connected.
- ✓You know that Devices, not the ring chip, is where a ring problem is fixed.
Problems
The card at the top shows no numbers
Why · They come from a wearable and none is paired, or none has synced yet today.
Fix · Pair one from Devices. Without a wearable the app still records sessions — it just has no sleep or resting heart rate to show.
The ring chip says connected but a session recorded no heart data
Why · The chip reflects the last known state, and a ring can drop between the glance and the session.
Fix · Open Devices before a session that matters and confirm there, then start from Home.
The notification dot will not go away
Why · It clears when the list is opened, not when a single item is read.
Fix · Open notifications once; the dot clears for everything at the same time.
