Notice what you chose to share
A self-report or a change in an explicitly permitted source gives Signal something to consider. One moment is not treated as a diagnosis.

A little lift when you need it
You've had a difficult morning. You're home, feeling a little flat, and not really getting going.
This is what thoughtful, permission-based support could look like in an ordinary moment.
THE MOMENT
Small support. Your choice.
You have told Signal that music can sometimes help when you need a lift. You might simply tell it that today is a hard day, or allow it to use a small amount of context from sources you have chosen.
Speedo gives you a view of the direction you have been moving in. It is not a score of you, and it does not decide how you feel. Signly offers a simple question: “Would a familiar song help?”
You choose yes. If you have connected and authorised your music app or device, Signal can carry out that small action. The song is a possible SPIKE: a positive stimulus. If it helps, you may notice a SURGE in momentum. If it does not, nothing is forced and the system does not keep pushing.
A POSSIBLE NUDGE
“Would a familiar song help right now?”
An illustration of the experience, not a live prompt.WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES
A connected response, not an automatic chain.
These are different responsibilities working together. The person stays at the centre and every action remains bounded by permission.
Understand the direction
Spiral describes a downward pattern you want to interrupt. Speedo helps show movement over time against measures that make sense to you.
Offer one useful possibility
A familiar song is offered because you have said it may help. The suggestion is brief, optional and easy to decline.
You decide what happens
If you accept, the authorised action can happen through a connected device. A suggestion is not treated as permission to act.
Keep the result honest
The system distinguishes what it suggested, what you chose, what actually happened and what was verified. It does not claim the song caused a change.
WHAT MATTERS
A small lift, on your terms. Sometimes that is enough to change the feel of the next hour.
The boundary
Signal does not infer your mood from a playlist or a single behaviour. Playing music requires a connected service and your permission. You can decline, pause or turn this kind of suggestion off.

WHERE SOCme FITS
Service assurance without personal surveillance.
The Speedo’s bounded output is designed to go to SOCme only. SOCme receives that indicator, not the underlying ambient stream, your private context or your song choice. It does not forward the Speedo output to other services or third parties.
