FeatureQuick log

One move. Logged.

The days that most need a note are the days you can least face a form. Hold the plus on a card, slide to how it is, let go. No sheet, no keyboard, no Save button.

Both ways of logging, no Pro needed

01Hold, slide, let go

From any card on Home

The plus you already tap, held a moment longer.

A quick tap on a card’s plus still opens the full entry sheet. Hold it for a third of a second instead, and the card lifts with a rail of values beside your finger.

Longnote’s Home in a quick-log loop: a finger holds the plus on Joint stiffness, slides along the rail to 4, Moderate, and lets go; then Knee pain the same way, the Symptoms section folds, and Coffee and Alcohol are logged with a hold and release, Again. Four entries, no sheet.
Four entries, no sheet.
The quick-log rail just after a hold on Joint stiffness’s plus: a rail from Loose to Rigid with the last value, 1, marked under it, and at its end the Again head with a callout reading 1, Again.
The quick-log rail mid-slide on Joint stiffness: the knob at 4, the rail filled up to it, a callout above reading 4, Moderate, and the last value, 1, marked under the rail.
The black drop at the top of the screen after a quick log: a check mark, “Logged Joint stiffness · 4” and an Undo button.
  • 01Hold and let go without sliding: the last value again, logged now. “Same as this morning” is one touch.
  • 02Changed your mind mid-slide? Slide down and let go, and nothing is logged.
  • 03Want to add a note or a photo after all? Slide up and let go: the full sheet opens with the value already set.
  • 04The first step onto the rail takes a deliberate move, so a shaky finger doesn’t land on the top of the scale.

Felt, not watched

A firm tap when the rail opens, a tick for every step, another when it is logged. You can do it without looking.

Where it was

A quick log keeps the body areas of your last entry, so the atlas stays in the right place.

02What it logs

Scale · duration · count · yes/no · dose

The rail fits the tracker.

Every tracker whose main measure is a number gets a rail made from that measure, so the steps under your finger are the ones you would pick on the sheet.

A scale

The scale’s own steps, with its words: mild, moderate, severe. A fine 0–100 scale is grouped into steps far enough apart to hit.

How long, how many

A duration slides through the sheet’s quick picks, plus the last value you used. A count offers five steps around your last one.

Yes, or a dose

A yes/no tracker has no rail: hold and let go to tick it. A treatment logs its scheduled dose, as a tap would.

A quick log writes the main measure, now. Choices, text, photos, a note or an earlier time go through the full sheet, one tap away, and skin trackers, which start with a photo, have no rail.

03Quick Log

Every tracker, one screen

The evening round, in one sweep.

Quick Log, from the plus menu, lays your trackers out in Home order, each with its main control on the card. Set what changed, leave the rest, save once.

Three Quick Log cards: Joint stiffness with 4 chosen on its 0 to 10 row; Migraine on No symptom, its row at 0; and Coffee left on Skip at 0 cups. Each card has the pills Skip, No symptom or None today, and Same as last.
Quick Log cards, from the app with sample data.
  • 01Every card starts on Skip. Only the cards you touch are logged.
  • 02No symptom writes a real zero, so a good day is on the chart and not a gap. Treatments say Not taken.
  • 03Same as last copies your last entry, dated now.
  • 04Choose which trackers it walks through in Settings › Quick Log; search finds the rest.
Longnote’s Quick Log sheet: “Track what changed today” and “6 of 19 updated” over tracker cards in Home order, Migraine with its intensity row and Coffee with its cup counter, each with Skip, No symptom or None today, and Same as last; Cancel, Save and a search button at the bottom.

04Safe to be quick

Undo · reminders

Fast, and never a mistake you keep.

A quick log is a real entry from the moment you let go. For five seconds, the drop at the top of the screen can take it back; after that, edit or delete it like any other entry.

The drop after a quick log, from the app.
  • 01A tracker’s reminder opens Quick Log on that tracker, so the notification and the log are one tap apart.
  • 02The daily check-in reminder opens the whole sweep.
  • 03Once you have logged by hand a few days, a tip on Home shows you the hold.

05Your way

Tap · sweep · VoiceOver

Three ways to log. Pick the one today allows.

The slide is one way in, not the only one. Everything it does, the full sheet and Quick Log do too.

Tap

A tap on the plus opens the full sheet, prefilled from your last entry: where, how strong, how long, a note.

Sweep

Quick Log puts every tracker on one screen with large controls, for the evening round or a check-in.

VoiceOver

Each card’s plus is labelled “Log entry for …” and opens the sheet, where every control can be read and adjusted.
