Recording Your First Events

Goal: You understand how onboarding works and have saved your first event.

What Is an Event?

An event is the smallest unit in the app:

Event = Timestamp + Parameter + Value

Examples:
  12/03/2026 14:05 | Headache       | mild
  12/03/2026 19:30 | Coffee         | 250 ml
  12/03/2026 23:10 | Sleep quality  | good

Every event needs a parameter (what you’re tracking) and a value (how it was).

Onboarding: Setup in 4 Steps

The very first time you launch the app, it guides you through the initial setup. You can skip onboarding at any time and fill things in later via Settings.

Welcome — choose language Choose focus areas Symptom selection

Step 1: Choose Your Focus

Select what you mainly want to track. This influences which suggestions and options appear in the next step.

Focus Fits me if…
Symptoms & Health I want to monitor complaints, medication or wellbeing
Nutrition I want to understand what I eat
Other / Custom I want to track something completely individual

💡 You can choose multiple focus areas at once – the selection is not exclusive.

Enable features Choose colour palette Result: First dashboard

Step 2: Enable Features

Decide which optional areas you’d like to use. Anything you don’t enable here isn’t gone – you can add it later in Settings.

Feature What it does
Community Hub Share and download templates with others
Waypoints Note life events and context markers
Photo Nutrition Analysis Log meals via camera photo (Beta)
Apple Health Sync data with the Health app
Other All parameters and groups not assigned to the above categories – always available as a catch-all tile

💡 If you selected “Symptoms & Health” as your focus, Apple Health is pre-selected automatically.

Step 3: Choose a Colour Palette

Choose the look of the app. You can change this at any time in Settings.

Step 4: Done

The app sets everything up and you land on the dashboard.
