Guided sessions
A session walks you through today’s routine one step at a time, rather than showing you a list to remember. It keeps your place, so you can put your phone down.
Running one
Open today’s session
From Start session on the protocol page, or from Home. If today’s is already done, it says so.
Check what is in it
Before you start you see today’s steps, what is waiting at the bottom to be added, and the safety line. You can add or remove a step here too - see adding to your routine. Some days open with a Watch first film.
Work through the steps
You see the step you are on, what is next, and how much time is left. A step with a film plays it while you work, in your language when there is one; when there is not, it plays another and says which, for example In French.
Pause whenever you need to
Pausing holds your place, for as long as you leave the session open. Come back to the tab and you carry on from the step you stopped on.
Closing or reloading starts the session again from the first step. Your place is not saved anywhere, so a refresh, a closed tab or a phone that locks and drops the page all mean beginning again. If you need to stop for longer than a pause, finishing the steps you have done is better than leaving it open.
Finish
The session is recorded as complete, with a recap of what you did and what comes next. On the last session of your week it says That’s the week. and names the rest days before your next one.
Background music
Each day has a track that plays by default. You can pick another before you start, and change it mid-session - you do not have to come out and start again to change the music.
If you do not finish
Two different things can happen, and neither is a problem:
| What happened | What is recorded |
|---|---|
| You worked through part of it and stopped | A partial session, with how many steps you did |
| You never started | No session logged for that day |
Your record shows what actually happened, including the days that did not go well. It is not there to be a score - a record that quietly rounded up would be useless for working out what is and is not sticking.
The streak
Your streak counts days you did your routine. Two things about it are worth knowing because they are not guessable:
- Extra sessions are logged but do not change your streak. Doing your routine twice in one day is recorded and does not count double.
- A logged session holds the streak. You are not penalised for a session that was interrupted and recorded honestly.
When a session will not save
If you finish and Densy cannot record it, you get Session not saved - you finished the routine, but we could not record it.
That wording is deliberate: the work happened, and the problem is reaching us.
Most of it was already saved. Each step is recorded as you move past it, so what failed is only the message marking the whole session finished - not the routine you did. There is nothing to lose by dismissing the notice.
There is no “try again” button, despite the wording. The notice appears and the session moves on to its summary. Doing the routine a second time is not the answer either. If it matters to you that a particular day shows as complete, that is worth raising with support rather than repeating the work.
Scanning straight afterwards
Right after a session is the best window for a scan - blood flow is at its peak and the differences between areas read most cleanly. It takes about two minutes.
Worth knowing, not required. See Taking your weekly scan.
