📈 Insight Tip

Your check-in history is most valuable when viewed over time. A single bad day tells you little, but 2 weeks of declining mood is a clear signal. Focus on trends, not individual data points.

💡 Pro Tip

Before mental health appointments, export your last 30 days of check-ins to share with your therapist or psychiatrist. This data provides concrete evidence of your emotional patterns and helps guide treatment decisions.
