Discover and patterns

What’s on Discover

Pick Week, Month or 3 months at the top; it applies to the whole screen. The magnifying glass finds a measure.

Insights: Up to five cards you swipe sideways, from your entries and updated daily. Each one is a single sentence with a link to the measure it’s about.
Pinned: Full charts for up to five measures you care most about. Tap Edit, then Pin on any measure below. Drag pinned ones to reorder, and tap Done.
All measures: Everything else, by category, with a summary for the range (“3.4 avg · Mild”, “Tagged on 26 of 30 days”). Tap one to open its page.

Reading the charts

One dot per day you logged it; nothing on days you didn’t. Tap a dot to see that day’s value.
Tags show as a strip, one cell per day, filled on the days you tagged it, so streaks and gaps stand out.
Trendline (1–10 and amounts) adds a soft line that follows your average over the last few logged days: 3 in Week view, 7 in Month, 14 in 3 months.

Kinds of insight

Pattern: Two things that tend to go together, with how sure it is: Strong, Moderate or Early sign.
Trend: This month compared with last month, like “Mood is up 0.6 this month compared with last month.”
Almost there: A measure that’s close to having enough days for patterns.

Pattern · Moderate

Mood runs higher after 7+ hours of sleep.

What Strong, Moderate and Early sign mean

Each pattern says how clear the difference is:

Strong: A big, steady difference, from at least 30 days of entries.
Moderate: A clear difference, but a smaller one, from at least 30 days of entries.
Early sign: A difference that showed up in under 30 days of entries. Worth watching, but it may change as you log more.

Before anything shows at all, the difference has to be noticeable (about a point on a 1–10 scale, or about 10% for amounts), hold up in both the earlier and later halves of your data, and have at least 5 days on each side. Small or patchy differences are left out.

How long until the first insights

Patterns for a measure appear after 14 days with it logged, and get more reliable after about a month. They look at your last 90 days.

Until then, a measure’s page shows “What goes with it: soon” with how far along you are (“9 of 14 days logged”). An Almost there card shows up on Discover when one is close.

The more days you log, the more patterns can be found. Logging most days matters more than logging everything.

A measure’s page

Tap any measure on Discover, or the link on an insight, to see:

Its chart for the range, with Pin to Discover at the top.
What goes with it: rows under headings like “Worse on days” and “Easier on days” (or “Higher on days”, “More often on days”). Each row names the kind of day, gives the two averages in a gray line, has a bar for how big the difference is, and a strength meter.
Averages for the last 7, 30 and 90 days and all time.
By month: a calendar of each month with the value on each day you logged it. Tap a day to open that entry.
Measure settings (name, category, scale, other names) and Clear history.

What gets compared

Every measure with every other: 1–10s, amounts and tags. Food you note often (like “coffee”) counts too.
The same day, the day before, and two days before, for things that take time to show up.
Weekends against weekdays, and each day of the week against the rest (“Stress runs higher on Mondays”). Turn either off in Settings › Patterns.
Local weather, and steps, sleep and more from Health Connect or Apple Health, when they’re on (see Settings).

For a tag, only days you logged something by hand count, so a day you didn’t open the app isn’t counted as a day without it.

Patterns show what goes together, not what causes what

A pattern means two things tend to happen on the same days (or a day or two apart) in your entries. It doesn’t prove that one causes the other: something else might be behind both. Use patterns as a starting point, and talk to a doctor about anything that worries you. Dayweave is not medical advice.

Hide an insight

Tap the × on a card to hide it, and the next one moves up. Hidden insights are kept: tap “2 hidden ›” beside the Insights heading, or go to Settings › Patterns › Hidden insights, search them, and tap Show again to put one back. Hiding only takes it off Discover; the pattern still shows on the measure’s page.
