Windows install

Install the Windows app.

This is the dedicated install page: use Microsoft Store, capture your baseline locally, then come back when Hydrogen has something real to analyze.

What happens after install
Capture first. Sync later. Ask Hydrogen after.

The install is only the first stage. The value comes from what you capture and how you ask about it later.

Before strong answers
Aim for 2-3 normal workdays

Hydrogen becomes more useful once the baseline has enough normal work to compare one period against another.

Product flow

The install page supports one workflow

Even here, the goal is not to over-sell installation. It is to get you into the four-stage loop with the least friction.

01
Track
Capture a real baseline

The Windows app collects desktop signals locally so the product starts with your normal work pattern, not a guess.

Desktop detectors and sessions
Baseline capture on Windows
Local-first from day one
02
Integrate
Add context when you want it

Wearables and sync are optional. They enrich the story later instead of blocking the first useful workflow.

Fitbit and Oura support
Optional sync to the web workspace
User-controlled enrichment
03
Observe
See trends before conclusions

Use trend views, comparisons, and coverage checks to spot whether a shift is real before you ask for explanation.

Trend and comparison surfaces
Coverage quality checks
Weekly pattern visibility
04
Analyze
Let Hydrogen explain it

Hydrogen works on top of the baseline and comparisons so answers stay grounded in real windows and repeated changes.

After install

Return when the baseline is ready

Open the app workspace after setup, ask comparison-driven questions, and use the guides when you need a tighter workflow.
