Question 1

Who can see what I write?

Accepted Answer

Only you. Habits and diary entries live in tables that no browser has any privilege on at all, so there is no query anyone can run from a signed-in session that returns somebody else's rows. Every read and write goes through a server function that checks your session first and looks up only your own data. Nothing here is aggregated, published, put on a leaderboard, or read by an AI model.

Question 2

Why does it cap me at eight habits?

Accepted Answer

Because a list of fifteen habits becomes a daily list of fifteen small failures, and that is the most common way people stop using a tracker at all. Eight is already more than most people keep. Archiving one you have finished with frees a slot and keeps the history you built.

Question 3

What if I was ill, or it was a rest day?

Accepted Answer

Tap the day a second time to mark it skipped. A skipped day is left out of every figure: it does not count as kept and it does not count as missed, and it does not break a streak. That is different from a day you simply did not do it, which does count against you. Habits can also run on a rota (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, say), and then the other days are off days rather than misses.

Question 4

How is the weekly score worked out?

Accepted Answer

Each habit gets the share of its target you kept this week, capped at one. Those are averaged with the weight you gave each habit (nice to have, matters, non-negotiable, counting one, two and three), and the result is graded: 90 and above is excellent, 70 is good, 50 is getting there, below that is a rough week. So gym three of four at full weight, reading five of five and meditation two of seven at the lowest weight comes out at 76%, which is good, rather than three separate numbers to feel bad about.

Question 5

What does it mean when a habit ticks itself?

Accepted Answer

You can link a habit to OA prep sessions, applications sent or the diary. The tracker then ticks it from the record the site already holds, so finishing three OA drills or marking two applications as applied in My tracker completes the habit without you logging it twice. Linked habits cannot be tapped by hand; unlink one from its edit button if you want to tick it yourself.

Question 6

I missed a day. Have I lost my progress?

Accepted Answer

No, and the tracker is built to tell you so. The study that produced the 66 day figure people quote also found that missing a single opportunity had no measurable effect on how automatic the habit became. That is why consistency over 30 days is the number shown largest here and the streak is a smaller figure beside it.

Question 7

Can I fill in a day I forgot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, up to a fortnight back. People remember on Tuesday that they went for a run on Sunday, and a tracker that refuses to record it teaches you the record is wrong, at which point you stop looking at it. Two weeks is long enough to catch up and short enough that nobody is reconstructing a fictional history.

Question 8

Does the diary do anything with what I write?

Accepted Answer

It stores it and shows it back to you. There is no analysis, no sentiment score and no AI summary. The prompt shown each day is picked from a fixed list by the date, so it is the same prompt whenever you open it and it never depends on what you wrote before.

Question 9

Why will the stack tracker not let me judge something after two weeks?

Accepted Answer

It will, if you want to: the keep, pause and drop buttons are always there, and stopping for a reaction or a side effect is always right. What it does is tell you it is too early and how long is left on the trial length you set. The timelines come from how long each thing takes to show: creatine saturates in about four weeks, vitamin D levels plateau at eight, omega-3 takes months to change tissue levels, and dermatologists give an acne product six to eight weeks before judging it, with retinoids often making things worse for the first few. Most people give up on a supplement at three to four weeks, which is before most of them can have done anything.

Question 10

Is the stack tracker medical advice?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a log of what you decided to try and what you noticed, kept so that you decide the next thing from a record rather than a memory. A pharmacist will check a supplement against anything you are prescribed for free, and anything that treats a diagnosis belongs with your GP. The page says so next to the list, every time.

Question 11

How do I delete it?

Accepted Answer

From the page. Any single diary day has a delete button, a habit you have finished with can be archived so it leaves your list without throwing away the history, and the button on the habit tracker deletes the whole log at once. That last one removes every habit, every tick and every diary entry immediately, without an email to anyone. Stacks have the same: delete one item, one stack, or every stack on the account, from the stack tracker page.
