What's the difference between notes and reflections?​

  • Notes: Short thoughts or context added to individual activities (e.g., "Great energy during this workout")
  • Reflections: Longer-form insights about your day, patterns, or overall well-being.

Both are valuable for understanding your rhythms and growth over time.

  1. Use the calendar to navigate to a past date
  2. Tap on the activity you want to annotate

Are notes backed up?​

Yes! All notes are automatically synced to the cloud and backed up. You won't lose your reflections if you switch devices or reinstall the app.

Can I share my notes?​

Individual notes are private by default. However, you can manually copy and share specific notes if you choose. We're exploring features to make sharing insights easier while maintaining your privacy.
