How to log a dose

Educational guide — not medical advice. Logging records what you actually took, when. It's the raw material every chart and report is built from.

The fast path: one tap from Today

Items due today appear on your Today screen with a one-tap log button — tap and it's recorded at your scheduled dose. This is the everyday path: open the app, tap, done. Any medication or supplement with Show on Today screen turned on gets a quick-log row here, even when it isn't part of a StaQ.

The full path: the Log screen

The Log tab is for everything the one-tap button doesn't cover — a different amount than scheduled, a missed-then-made-up dose, or context you want in the record:

Doses — log any item at any amount and time, not just today's scheduled ones.
StaQs — log a whole supplement or routine stack in one entry.
Weight — the daily weigh-in.
Check-in — symptom and energy scores.
Mood — a quick mood entry.
Injection Site — site and any reaction after a shot, so rotation patterns and site issues show up in your history.

Why accuracy beats neatness

Log what actually happened — the real amount, the real day. A late or skipped dose isn't a failure to hide from the record; it's exactly what makes your exposure curve honest, and it's the difference between a chart your provider can trust and a diary of good intentions. The model decays from your actual logs, so the truth is what makes the math work.
