Daily Checklist Guide
The Daily Checklist turns your health tracking into a daily habit. It shows which trackers need attention, tracks your streak, and rewards consistency.
What the Daily Checklist is
The checklist is a daily task list. It shows one row for every tracker you have enabled. When you log an entry for a tracker, that row marks as complete. At the end of the day, you can see exactly what you tracked and what you skipped.
It lives in the "Today" tab at the bottom of your screen. If you do not see it, you need to enable it first.
How to turn it on
- Tap the Settings icon (gear) in the bottom navigation.
- Open "App Preferences."
- Toggle "Daily Checklist" to on.
- Go back. You will now see a "Today" tab in your bottom navigation.
How it connects to trackers
The checklist automatically detects when you log a tracker entry. If Blood Pressure is on your checklist and you log a BP entry for today, the Blood Pressure row shows a green checkmark. You do not need to manually mark things complete (although you can).
This means your normal workflow does not change. Log entries as usual. The checklist updates itself.
What "complete" means
A tracker is complete for the day when at least one of these is true:
- You logged an entry for that tracker today.
- You manually marked it as done.
- You skipped it for the day (this is fine and counts as acknowledged).
A day is considered "complete" when all your enabled trackers have been addressed: logged, done, or skipped. This counts toward your streak.
The Sleep tracker is special
Sleep uses a "human day" boundary at 4 AM. If you log a bedtime at 1:30 AM, it counts toward the previous day (because you are going to sleep after a day that started yesterday, not starting a new day). This means the Sleep row on your checklist reflects wake-up AND bedtime for the same human day, not the same calendar date.
Streaks and points
Every day you complete your checklist, your streak grows by one day. Points are earned for each daily completion. Over time you unlock achievements:
- Perfect Day. Complete every tracker on your checklist.
- 7-Day Streak. Complete every day for a full week.
- 30-Day Streak. A full month of consistency.
These are visible on your Progress page. You can share achievement milestones with the share button if you want to.
How it helps daily habits
Tracking health is like brushing your teeth. It only works if you do it consistently. The checklist gives you a visible, daily reminder of what needs attention. The streak counter adds gentle accountability. After a few days, you start not wanting to break the streak. After a few weeks, logging becomes automatic.
The data you collect during that time is what makes BodySitRep genuinely useful. Patterns only emerge with consistent logging, and the checklist is what keeps you logging.
Tips
- Log once in the morning (wake time, weight, blood pressure) and once before bed (mood, pain, bedtime). Two sessions cover most trackers in under a minute each.
- Use Quick Log buttons on the Home screen for fast entries. They open the tracker form directly.
- If you genuinely have nothing to log for a tracker today, skip it. Skipping still counts as acknowledging it.
- Do not enable 15 trackers and try to complete all of them on day one. Start with 3 to 4 and add more when the habit is solid.
