  3. Check if location services are enabled but not needed
  4. Lower the refresh rate for widgets if in use
  5. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version with performance optimizations

Q: The app crashed and I'm worried about data loss.

A: MyActivityTracker continuously saves data, so most recent activities should be preserved:

  1. Restart the app
  2. Check your recent activities to confirm they're present
  3. If data appears missing, check if you have a recent backup to restore
  4. Send a crash report if prompted to help fix the issue
  5. For recurring crashes, try clearing the app cache or reinstalling

Activity Tracking Issues

Q: I accidentally added an incorrect activity. How do I fix it?

A: You have several options:

  1. Find the activity in your activity list and tap to edit
  2. Change incorrect details or delete the activity completely
  3. For bulk errors, use the filter to find similar incorrect entries
  4. Use the batch operations feature to modify multiple activities at once

Q: Some of my activities disappeared from the calendar view.

A: This usually occurs due to filtering:

  1. Check if you have active filters applied (look for filter indicator)
  2. Tap the filter icon and select "Clear All Filters"
  3. Verify date range settings in the calendar view
  4. Check if the activities were marked as sensitive and your privacy settings are hiding them
  5. Check if the category for those activities is currently hidden

Q: I can't find the right category or unit for my activity.

A: You can create custom categories and units:

  1. For categories: Settings β†’ Categories β†’ Add New Category
  2. For units: Settings β†’ Units β†’ Add New Unit
  3. You can also add categories and units directly during activity entry
  4. Make sure you're looking in both main categories and subcategories
  5. Use the search function to find specific categories or units

Routine and Reminder Problems

Q: I'm not receiving notifications for my routines.

A: Verify these settings:

  1. Check if notifications are enabled for the app in your device settings
  2. Ensure the specific routine has notifications enabled
  3. Verify that "Do Not Disturb" mode isn't active during scheduled times
  4. Check notification settings in Settings β†’ Notifications
  5. For Android: ensure battery optimization isn't restricting background activity

Q: My routine is showing as missed even though I completed it.

A: This can happen for several reasons:

  1. You may have completed it outside the allowed time window
  2. Check if you accidentally marked a different occurrence as completed
  3. Verify that the activity was logged with the correct date and time
  4. You can manually mark the routine as completed from the Routines screen
  5. Adjust the routine's flexibility settings for a wider completion window

Q: I want to change the schedule for multiple routines at once.

A: While batch editing isn't available for routines, you can:

  1. Use the "Duplicate" feature to create a new routine with modified settings
  2. Archive the old routines once you've set up replacements
  3. For temporary changes, use the "Pause" feature instead of deleting
  4. Export routines data, modify in a spreadsheet, and import back (advanced)

Glossary

Essential terms and concepts to help you navigate MyActivityTracker effectively and communicate clearly about your tracking journey.

πŸ“š Core Tracking Concepts

Activity: The fundamental unit of tracking representing any action, event, or experience you want to monitor. Each activity has attributes including title, category, value, date, time, comments, and optional sensitivity marking.

Activity Value: The quantitative measurement associated with an activity (time spent, distance covered, repetitions completed, quality rating, etc.). Values enable statistical analysis and trend tracking.

Auto-Save: Continuous background saving of data entries to prevent data loss, particularly important for Daily Logs and long activity entry sessions.

Batch Entry: The process of entering multiple activities in a single session, typically used to catch up on logging at the end of the day or week.

Category: A classification system for organizing activities into meaningful groups. MyActivityTracker uses a two-level hierarchy: Main Categories (life areas) and Subcategories (specific activity types).

Comments: Text notes added to activities to provide context, insights, or details not captured by quantitative data. Essential for meaningful data interpretation.

CxSearch: Advanced contextual search feature that finds activities based on complex criteria and provides surrounding context for pattern analysis.

πŸ—‚οΈ Organization and Structure

Environmental Conditions: A separate tracking system for monitoring external factors that might influence your activities (weather, location, social context, etc.).

Environmental Categories: Classification system specifically for environmental conditions, managed separately from activity categories.

Filter: A tool for viewing specific subsets of your data based on criteria like category, date range, value range, or activity attributes.

Main Category: Top-level classification representing broad life areas (Health, Work, Relationships, etc.). Main categories contain multiple subcategories.

Routine: A scheduled recurring activity with automatic reminders and completion tracking, designed to support habit formation.

Sensitive Content: Activities marked as private or confidential, with special privacy controls for viewing, sharing, and exporting.

Snapshot: A customizable daily dashboard showing key metrics and activities in a single view, optimized for quick daily check-ins.

Subcategory: Specific activity types within a main category (e.g., under "Health": Running, Meditation, Sleep, Doctor Visits).

Unit: The measurement standard for activity values (minutes, kilometers, repetitions, ratings, etc.). Each category can have a default unit.

πŸ“Š Analytics and Insights

Aggregation: The process of combining multiple data points into summary statistics (totals, averages, counts) for analysis purposes.

Analytics: Statistical analysis and visualization tools that transform raw activity data into meaningful insights and patterns.

Baseline: Your established personal average or normal level of activity, used for comparison when evaluating current performance.

Correlation: Statistical relationship between two variables, showing how changes in one activity might relate to changes in another.

Heat Map: Visual representation showing data intensity through color coding, commonly used in calendar views to show activity levels.

Insights: Actionable findings derived from data analysis that can inform decisions about habits, goals, and life optimization.

KPI (Key Performance Indicator): Metrics that are most important for tracking progress toward your specific goals and objectives.

Pattern Recognition: The process of identifying recurring trends, cycles, or relationships in your activity data over time.

Percentile: Statistical measure showing how your performance compares to your historical data (e.g., 90th percentile = better than 90% of your past performance).

Predictive Analytics: Advanced analysis that uses historical data to forecast future trends and outcomes.

Trend: The general direction of change in your data over time (increasing, decreasing, stable, cyclical).

πŸ”„ Data Management

Archive: Long-term storage for old data that's no longer actively needed but preserved for historical reference.

Backup: Copy of your data stored separately to protect against data loss, available in local device storage or cloud services.

Data Export: Process of generating files containing your activity data in various formats (CSV, PDF, JSON) for external use or backup.

Data Import: Process of bringing activity data into MyActivityTracker from external sources or previous backups.

Database Optimization: Maintenance process that improves app performance by reorganizing and cleaning up stored data.

Duplicate Detection: Automated system for identifying potentially repeated activity entries to maintain data quality.

Sync: Process of keeping data consistent across multiple devices or with cloud storage services.

🎯 Goals and Optimization

Benchmark: Standard of measurement used to compare your current performance against personal goals, historical data, or external standards.

Consistency Score: Metric measuring how regularly you perform specific activities or maintain certain patterns.

Goal Achievement Rate: Percentage of set goals that are successfully completed within specified timeframes.

Habit Formation: The process of establishing automatic behavioral patterns through consistent repetition over time (typically 21-90 days).

Life Optimization: The systematic use of data and insights to improve quality of life, productivity, health, and personal satisfaction.

Performance Metrics: Quantifiable measures used to evaluate success and progress in specific life areas or activities.

Personal Record (PR): Your best-ever performance in a specific activity or metric, used for motivation and progress tracking.
