FAQ

Common questions about the Manasource library, its evidence standards, accounts, and tracking.

What is Manasource?#

A public library of health research, paired with an app that turns selected practices into personal tracking, reflection, and visible momentum.

Do I need an account?#

No. The library is public, free, and stays that way. An account only adds the app’s personal layer — saving activity, syncing across devices, and managing settings.

Is Manasource medical advice?#

No. Manasource is for information and personal tracking only. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Where does the evidence come from?#

Entries are built on published human research. Open an entry to see its references, the claims they support, and when it was last reviewed.

What does the score on each entry mean?#

How well the evidence supports the entry, rolled into one rating — higher scores mean stronger research behind it. It is a rating of the research, not a recommendation.

How often is the library updated?#

The library syncs from a versioned source, and every entry carries a last-reviewed date — so you can always see how fresh an entry is.

How does Manasource use the public library?#

It keeps the product’s reasoning inspectable. Practices and resources in the app stay tied to library entries and evidence summaries, not unsupported outcome claims.

What kind of information can I log?#

Wellness-related activity — habits, nutrition, exercise, sleep, daily rhythm, and intentions — entirely at your discretion.

What are Buffs?#

Buffs are how the app makes sustained patterns visible. They are not medical scores or guarantees — they reflect your logged actions and consistency back to you. Buffs are not science; the data they are built from is.

Can I delete my account or data?#

Yes. Request access, correction, export, or deletion through Manasource support. Some backups, logs, or records may be retained where security, legal, or operational requirements demand it.

The Privacy Policy covers how your data is handled; the Terms of Service set the rules for using the product. Both are linked in the public footer and app settings.

How to read the signals

Score and freshness are visible in every list row, so you can judge an entry before opening it — the score rates how well the evidence supports it. Open a resource to inspect dates, associations, references, and claims.

Source contract

Content syncs from the library's canonical source. Everything here traces back to a versioned source file — no hand-edits, no drift.
