Log and journal

What this chapter is for

The Log area — a tile on the start screen — is the story of your training. It does not answer “how much”, that is the dashboard’s job, but “what happened”. Two kinds of content sit there side by side: what the app worked out from your data, and what you recorded yourself.

The bars at the top

Above everything sits a bar chart of the last fourteen days. Taller bars mean more sets and more weight moved on that day. It is deliberately short: it is meant to show whether things are moving right now, not to tell the story of the year.

Cards that appear on their own

Below it are cards nobody enters. The app creates them when something happens:

Card	When it appears
Personal record	You moved more weight in an exercise than ever before
Rep record	Never before that many reps in a single set
Monthly balance	The month has been added up
Days in a row	Your streak of active days hit a mark
Milestone	Your tenth, fiftieth, hundredth workout
Lifetime volume	What you have moved in total since day one
Comeback	You were away for a while and came back
Muscle focus	Which muscle was at the centre this month
Got stronger	Your improvement in a particular exercise
Best week	More sessions than in any week before
Early bird	Sessions before eight in the morning
Monthly recap	The month gone by, in one card

You can share these cards if you like — they are designed for it. None of it happens automatically: only what you hand over yourself ever leaves the device.

Your own moments

Next to the calculated part sits what no number captures. A moment consists of a note, optionally a photo or video, and a feeling. You can pick media from your library, take a photo or record a video. Tapping it opens it full screen.

Moments are the reason the log is more than a statistic: why a session went well is in no curve.

Deleting — and what that does

Moments are removed right on the card. For a training entry the app asks more precisely, because two different things can be meant:

Remove from the log only — the card disappears, your sets stay in records and training history.
Remove from the records too — the logged sets go as well and no longer count towards records and statistics.

The second choice is the right one when you mistyped. The first, when only the card is in the way.

  Nutrition["Logged meals"] --> Streak["Days in a row"]
  Body["Body measurements"] --> Streak
  Moment["Your own moment"] --> Feed["Log"]
  Cards --> Feed
  Streak --> Feed

The streak counts every kind of activity in the app, not only finished workouts — a logged meal or a body measurement makes the day active too.

When something does not work

The log is empty. It fills up with your first finished workout. Before that there is nothing to tell.
A photo cannot be picked. Permission for the media library is missing; you can grant it in your system settings.
Images are missing after an import. A backup contains the media, but it can leave files out when they were too large or no longer on the device. The report after the import tells you how many are affected.

How it fits together

The cards grow out of Training, the streak additionally out of Nutrition and Body. The quickest way to add a new moment is the quick add button in the middle of the bottom bar.
