How to Use Journal

Below is an explanation of how to use the Journal feature. Your entries today will contribute to the 90-day rolling data for tomorrow’s insights.

You can view today's Journal by following these steps:

1. Open Bevel.

2. Tap the Journal tab.

You'll see three sections:

• Daytime Entries

• Nighttime Entries

• Automatic Entries

There are three types of Journal entries:

• Automatic: Recorded automatically from supported data sources.

• Manual: Logged using Yes, Neutral, or No.

• Value-based: Logged by entering a value or selecting from a scale, such as your mood.

Each manual Journal entry has three possible states:

• ✔ Checkmark: Yes, this happened.

• ➖ Minus: Neutral / No effect.

• ✕ X: No, this did not happen.

Tap the state you want for each entry.

Some Journal entries require you to enter a value instead of selecting Yes, Neutral, or No. Tap the entry and provide the requested value.

To delete a value, tap the entry, then tap the red trash icon. To update a value, tap the entry, edit the amount or time, and then tap Update.

Examples include:

• Mood

• Caffeine

• Water

• Vitamins

• Supplements

You can quickly copy your Journal entries from the previous day.

1. Scroll to the bottom of the Journal tab.

2. Tap Copy entries from yesterday.

Only toggle-based entries are copied. Text entries and other input types are not included.
