What's the difference between notes and reflections?
- Notes: Short thoughts or context added to individual activities (e.g., "Great energy during this workout")

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

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.
