Measures
A measure is anything you want to track a number for over time — weight, steps, revenue, hours slept, "did I meditate." You record values against it day by day, and rcordr keeps the history so you can see the trend.
Types of measure
- Discrete — a fresh reading each time. Today's value replaces, it doesn't add. Good for things like weight or mood.
- Cumulative — values add up across the day. Log 2,000 steps then 3,000 more and the day shows 5,000. Good for counts and totals.
- Habit — a yes/no (or simple value) you're building a streak of. See Habits & Actions.
Units
Each measure has a unit — number, weight, distance, time, currency, percentage, and so on — so values display sensibly and consistently. You set this when you create the measure.
Recording values
The easiest place to record is the Today tab: it shows what you're tracking and whether each thing has been logged yet, so you can capture the day in a few taps. You can also record from a measure's own screen.
Recording for a past day
Missed a day? On the Today tab, move the date back to the day you want, then record as normal — the value lands on that day, not today. Handy for backfilling.
Grouping
On the Measures screen you can group your measures — by objective is the default, so everything sits under the goal it serves. Use the filter chips to switch how they're grouped.
