Quick-log

Tap a recent Collection to log it again with one click — defaults are filled in for you.

Quick-log is the difference between Kaizendex feeling like a form and feeling like a tally counter. Once you've set up a Collection with sensible defaults, logging it again is one tap.

How it works

  1. Open /chat and tap the search bar.
  2. Start typing — even one or two letters is usually enough.
  3. The dropdown shows your matches, with the most relevant Collection at the top.
  4. Tap. Done.

The entry writes immediately with default values for every Property that has one. If a Property has no default, the entry still writes — that field stays empty until you fill it.

Set up a Collection for quick-log

To make a Collection one-tap-loggable, give its main Property a default value when you create the Collection. Examples:

  • Coffee → count Property, default 1 → tap "coffee" to log one cup
  • Meds taken → taken boolean Property, default true → tap "meds" to mark today done
  • Glass of water → count Property, default 1 → tap to add a glass
  • Vitamins → taken boolean Property, default true → daily check-off
  • Cigarette → count Property, default 1 → tally as you go
  • Gratitude → note text Property, default empty — you'll fill it in after the tap

Defaults make the difference between "I'll log this later when I have a minute" and "logged before I put the phone back down."

Quick-log a composed Collection

A Collection with Sub-entries and a default starting set works the same way. Tap it in search and the entry is born with its default child entries, each with their own defaults filled in — tap any cell to edit a value.

Example: a "Morning vitals" Collection with default sub-entries Weight, Mood, Sleep hours. One tap = the parent plus three child entries written together with sensible defaults, then you edit the numbers in place.

See Sub-entries for more.

Editing after a quick-log

Quick-log writes immediately, so you can correct anything on the card:

  • Tap a number cell → edit the value → tap away to save.
  • Tap the menu (⋯) on the card → Open to see the full Entry, Edit, or Delete.
  • Deleted entries are soft-deleted for a while — you can recover them from the trash before the retention window closes.

Why this matters

Most tracking apps make logging feel like data entry. Quick-log lets the boring stuff stay boring (one tap to mark "vitamins taken") so you can focus on the data points that actually need thought (the long journal entry, the new PR, the weight after a heavy week).
