How is my karma calculated?

How it works

For each entry, an AI model analyzes your text and assigns deltaKarma — a small change to your overall karma score:

• +1 to +3 for positive actions (the clearer the impact, the higher the score)
• 0 for neutral or everyday entries
• −1 for honestly admitted negative actions (rare, but possible)

The scale is intentionally small: karma should grow over many days, not explode from a single entry. If you document one mindful action every day, you’ll see points add up over weeks.

What does the AI evaluate?

• Intention — are you trying to do something good?
• Impact — who or what does it help?
• Awareness — did you reflect on the action?

Example

"Offered my seat on the bus to an older woman."

This is typically rated +2 — a concrete prosocial action with a clear positive impact.
