Logging an entry

Use the search bar at the bottom of the Chat board to log anything in one tap.


The Chat board is where you log. Whatever you want to track — a workout move, a meal, your mood, pages read tonight — starts the same way: type it into the search bar at the bottom.

The flow

  1. Open /chat.
  2. Tap the search bar at the bottom of the feed.
  3. Start typing the name of what you're logging.
  4. The dropdown shows matching Types and Routines (Routines are marked with a "Routine" chip).
  5. Tap one — or hit Enter on the top result — to log it.

The entry appears at the top of the feed instantly. If you need to correct a value, tap any field on the card and edit in place.

What you can log

The same flow works for anything. A few starter ideas:

Fitness

  • push-ups 20 · pull-ups 8 · squats 15
  • run 5.2 (kilometres) · bike 45 (minutes)
  • bench press 70 · deadlift 120

Health & body

  • sleep 7.5 · weight 78.4 · water 8 (glasses)
  • meds taken · vitamins · protein 140

Habits & mood

  • meditation 15 · journal · gratitude
  • mood 4 (out of 5) · energy 3 · focus 7

Reading & learning

  • pages read 32 · book started · book finished
  • study 90 (minutes) · flashcards 50

Work & productivity

  • deep work 2.5 · tasks done 7 · meetings 4

Every line above becomes a separate Type the first time you log it. From then on, that Type appears in the search dropdown — one tap to log again.

Creating a new Type from chat

If your query doesn't match any existing Type or Routine, the empty state offers:

Create new type called "push-ups" Create new routine called "push-ups"

Tap Create new type to make a Type and log your first entry in one go. Kaizendex picks sensible defaults — usually one numeric Property — which you can rename or extend later in Types.

Defaults that just work

When a Type has a default value on its main Property, one-tap logging fills it in for you. So you can configure "coffee" to log a default of 1 cup, then just tap coffee in the search and it writes the entry — no number needed.

What the feed shows

Each entry appears as an ActivityCard with:

  • the Type's emoji and name
  • every Property value
  • the timestamp
  • a menu for Open (full detail), Edit, Delete

When you log a Routine (e.g. a workout routine), all child entries collapse into one Routine log card — see Logging a Routine.
