2. Daily Entry #

The daily entry is the core feature of LifeChart. Open it via the "Today" tab.

Quick Mode #

In quick mode you see two sliders:

Slider	Scale	Meaning
Mood	−5 to +5	Your subjective well-being (−5 = severe depression, +5 = severe mania)
Functionality	−5 to +5	How well you were able to manage your daily life

The current value is displayed to the right of each slider (e.g. +2 or −3). A value of 0 means neutral.

Tap "Save" to store the entry.

Full Mode #

Tap "More" to expand the extended fields.

Additional fields:

Field	Description
Sleep hours	Hours slept (slider 0–24 h)
Medication taken	Did you take your medications today?
Menstrual cycle	Optional marker for hormonally influenced phases
Hypomania	Marker for hypomanic phases (appears as a purple marker in the chart)
Symptoms	Free text for physical or psychological symptoms
Notes	Free text for anything else (events, thoughts)

Tip: In Settings you can configure the default input mode (Quick, Full, or always ask).

Critical Values #

If both mood and functionality are at −4 or below, LifeChart flags the entry as critical and shows a warning along with a button to the crisis resources.

Editing an Existing Entry #

If you open the "Today" tab again on the same day, the existing values are loaded automatically. Saving again overwrites the existing entry.
