Understanding Reports

Reports organize the history you record so trends may be easier to notice. They are observations—not diagnoses or proof of cause.

What Reports summarize

Reports can draw from check-ins and other information you record, such as hunger responses, urges or emotions, sleep, Daily Mood, Water Breaks, and context. The exact sections shown depend on the available history and feature.

Completeness matters

A report is only as complete as the information recorded in NourishNot. A blank or quiet day may mean nothing was logged; it does not necessarily mean nothing happened.

Patterns are prompts, not causes

If a report shows that certain urges often appear alongside tiredness or a particular routine, that can be a useful question to explore. It does not prove that one thing caused the other.

Read with curiosity: “I notice this happens often” is usually more accurate than “this is definitely why it happens.”

Restored historical information

When protected history is restored on another installation, some older views may be reconstructed from daily aggregate evidence rather than original individual events. This can restore useful totals and patterns without inventing exact event identities.

Because older server summaries may not contain every original timestamp or location, historical hourly, time-band, weekday, or location details may not match the original device exactly. Existing stored records are not deleted simply because a summary is reconstructed.

When a report looks unexpected

  • Check whether the dates you expected were logged.
  • Confirm that the correct period is selected.
  • Remember that Daily Mood and urge-related emotions are separate.
  • After a device restore, allow synchronization to finish before comparing screens.
