Carry forward
From the app’s English Help & Guide · Reference release 1.0.33
Carry Forward pre-fills new entries with the sections you choose from your most recent entry. It is designed for low-energy days when those details are still mostly true.
Where to find it
Open More › Journal › Carry Forward. Choose what carries forward into today’s entry: energy, sleep, bowel movements, mood, symptoms, triggers, food and drink, medications, activities, relief methods, body map pins, and custom fields. Bowel movements include each recorded type and the total count. Mood copies your selected moods. Review these details before saving.
Using Same as yesterday
Long-press the + button on the Journal timeline and choose Same as yesterday. This copies the previous entry’s tracking details regardless of your Carry Forward switches, leaving reflection and photos out. Review today’s entry and adjust what changed.
What to carry
Carry persistent things such as long-running symptoms, regular medications, ongoing activities, body areas, or stable custom fields. Be cautious with one-off triggers, foods, reflections, and anything that could make your log look more certain than it was.
