Paired with your organization, it lets Synapse tell your coding agent how to work with you right now: keep it brief, take smaller steps, or go into full detail. The agent gets that instruction, never a score or any health data. It's optional. Without Life, Synapse works for you as before, with no human state about you. ## Pair Life with your organization About three minutes. You need a Synapse seat. **1. Get Synheart Life** Download it for macOS or Windows from [synheart.ai/products/life](https://synheart.ai/products/life) and sign in. Any Synheart account works; it doesn't have to be your work email. **2. Turn on Cloud Upload** In Life, open **Settings → Privacy** and turn on **Cloud Upload**. Pairing needs it, because Synapse reads your state from your personal Life account in the cloud. **3. Create a pairing code in Synapse** At [synapse.synheart.ai](https://synapse.synheart.ai), open **You → My connections**, find **Life by Synheart** and choose **Connect**, then **Create pairing code**. It works once and is valid for 15 minutes. Your admin can also send you an invite, which is valid for 7 days. **4. Enter it in Life** On the same computer, choose **Open Life**: Life opens with the code filled in, and you confirm. Or choose **Copy pairing link**, then in Life open **Settings → Membership → Connect your workplace**, paste the link and confirm. On a phone, scan the QR code with the Life app instead. **Life Plus.** While you hold a Synapse seat, your organization provides Life Plus on your Life account. It turns on within a few seconds of pairing and stays as long as you have the seat. Disconnecting Life doesn't end it. ## Keep it current Synapse uses only readings from the **last 2 hours**, and Life sends readings only while it's running. If Life has been closed, or your computer asleep, for more than 2 hours, your agent gets no adaptation until Life sends a new reading. It doesn't guess from older ones. Under **You → My connections**, the **Life by Synheart** row shows your latest reading: | You see | It means | Do this | | - | - | - | | Latest reading from Life 5m ago | Synapse has a current reading | Nothing | | Latest reading from Life 3h ago, with a warning | Nothing in the last 2 hours, so no adaptation | Open Life and keep it running while you work | | Synapse has no reading from Life in the last 30 days | Life hasn't sent anything | Check that Life is running and **Cloud Upload** is on | A current reading doesn't always change how your agent works: when it's uncertain, or your organization is on Synapse Free, the agent responds as usual. Your agent can tell you the same. When there's no instruction, Synapse's `human_state` tool returns `available: false` with a `reason`, such as `stale_state`. Signed in as yourself, `stale_state` also comes with `last_state_at`, the time of your newest reading. ## Two ways Life reaches your agent Life can adapt your agent in two ways. Use either or both. | | Connect Life (this page) | Connect with Life | | - | - | - | | What it does | Synapse adds the instruction to its own answers, and your state counts in your team's totals above the [cohort floor](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md#the-cohort-floor) | Life hands the instruction straight to your agent on this computer | | Goes through Synheart's servers | Yes: your personal Life account, read by your organization's Synapse | No: it stays on this computer | | Turn it on | Pair Life with your organization, above | In Life, **Settings → AI & chat → Connect with Life**, then `synheart life connect --write` (add `--host cursor`, or `--host codex` with CLI 0.31.0 or later) | | Check it | **You → My connections** | `synheart life status` | ## Disconnect In Life, open **Settings → Membership** and choose **Disconnect**. Your readings stop counting towards your team's totals at once, and your agent stops getting instructions from Synapse. Life Plus stays while you hold a Synapse seat. To pair again, create a new pairing code. ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Fix | | - | - | | Life says *This needs Cloud Upload switched on first* | **Settings → Privacy → Cloud Upload** in Life, then paste the code again | | *This pairing code has expired* or *has already been used* | Create a new one in **My connections**. A code you create works once, for 15 minutes; an invite from your admin lasts 7 days | | Life says you need a Synapse seat | Ask your Synapse admin for a seat | | Connected, but your agent never adapts | Check **My connections**. If the latest reading is more than 2 hours old, keep Life running. If the row says sharing is off, check your consent in Life and choose **Check consent again** under [Privacy & consent](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/privacy-and-consent.md) | | Life Plus didn't turn on | Restart Life. If it's still off, contact support with the time you paired | This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
