Habits and observations

Three ways to mark your day, with one idea in common: noticing matters more than scoring.

Why it matters

Habits, Observations and Pulse help you notice what happens in everyday life, outside the app. There are no scores or right results here — just quick daily marks you can look back on a week or a month later.

A mark belongs to the day it happened, so you can’t add one retroactively. That’s the point: memory reshapes the past based on how you feel today, while a mark made on the day itself doesn’t. Over time, your history can reveal things that are hard to reconstruct from memory — what you do consistently, what keeps coming up, and how your state shifts.

There are no streaks here: missing a day doesn’t reset anything.

Habits

A habit is something that depends on you alone, not on an occasion or on circumstances: keeping your voice down, walking for half an hour, not scrolling before bed.

A habit grows week by week, and each week you set a goal for it: on how many days out of seven to do it. For example, “Walk for half an hour” on three days this week. You can set up to five goals at a time, choosing habits from the list or adding your own.

During the week, simply mark the days when you did it. There’s one mark per day, with no percentages or partial credit: not “80% done”, just “yes, today”.

To mark the day, tap the habit — the circle on the left fills and a tick appears in it. Tap again to take the mark off.

You can only mark today — and you can only change today’s mark. Once the goal is reached, no more days are added to it.

At the end of the week, you can see how many days you marked for each habit and which goals were reached.

The Weekly summary, at the bottom of the habits screen, covers the last 15 completed weeks: how many goals were set and how many of them were reached. A goal stopped partway through the week still counts — the week is kept as it actually happened.

Observations

An observation isn’t something you need to accomplish. It’s simply something you want to keep an eye on — an argument over something small, a conversation you keep putting off, or an extra hour on your phone.

When it happens, mark the day: tap the row — the circle on the left fills with a tick in it, and today fills in on the bar under the name. Tap again to take the mark off.

There’s no target to hit and no result to achieve. Observations are simply a way to notice patterns.

The Observation summary, at the bottom of the observations screen, shows the last 30 days: the days you marked and how often each observation was marked.

Pulse

In Pulse, you check in on three things once a day: Mood (how the day felt), Energy (how much you had in you) and Result (how much of what you planned got done).

They’re three separate rings because they don’t always line up. Sometimes your mood is good but your energy is low. Sometimes there’s plenty of energy but little gets done. And sometimes the day is hard, yet you still get things done.

Tap a ring to add a quarter; once it’s full, the next tap empties it. The scale beside it sets the reading directly. The fuller the ring, the higher the reading.

Looking at the rings together over time shows which of the three most often carries your day.

You don’t have to check in every day. If there’s no entry, the day stays blank and isn’t included in your averages. A blank day isn’t the same as a zero.

The Pulse summary, at the bottom of the Pulse screen, shows the last 7 days of Mood, Energy and Result. Open it to see the last 30 days: the average of each and how it changed compared with the previous 30 days.
