History, summaries and achievements
Session history, the weekly summary, the personal summary and achievements. What each one shows and when it opens.
7 min read
Everything your sessions add up to shows in four separate places. All of them are reached from Profile.
Session history
A list of every session you have done: date, technique, length and score. Tap a session and that day's report opens — with its measurements, exactly as you saw it at the time.
This is the most direct way to see whether you are improving in a particular technique.
Weekly summaries
The weeks sit side by side. For each week you get how many sessions, how many minutes, the average score, and what changed against the week before.
Tap a week and its detail opens: which techniques you did, which days were completed, how your scores moved.
Weeks that stand out carry a small badge at the top of their card: Best score, Most improved, Most minutes, Most sessions, Every day (if you practised on all seven days of the week), Longest session, Most varied (the most different techniques), Calmest week (the week with the fewest sessions) and First week. If several weeks tie, they all get the badge.
The buttons under the search field filter the list. Tap one and only the weeks with that badge stay. Tap it again and all the weeks come back. On Standard and Advanced, the Top week for a technique button lets you pick a technique and find the week you did it most. The search also knows the badge names, so typing "calm" or "every day" is enough.
To keep a week at the top of the list, tap the pin in the top right corner of its card. The same pin unpins it.
If you want the week's summary as a notification on Sunday evening, that option is in Notification options.
The weekly summaries open at your tenth session, together with the personal summary. Until then, they tell you how many sessions are left.
The personal summary
A longer view drawn from your whole session history. The boxes at the top show your average score and your best score. On the Standard and Advanced interfaces, Last 5 trend sits next to them.
Which sections appear below depends on your interface level. In order:
- Observations — sentences drawn from your data, the most important first: how your recent sessions compare with your first ones, your best session, your streak and how fully you finish your sessions. The higher your interface level, the more sentences there are and the more of them come with numbers.
- Heart rate — your average heart rate from sessions done with Apple Watch and how it changed by the end of the session. (Advanced)
- When you do best — your score compared by part of the day, by day of the week, and weekdays against the weekend. It only mentions a difference when there is a clear one; otherwise it says your score hardly changes with the time of day or the day of the week. (Standard and Advanced)
- Progress and consistency — the average of the last thirty days compared with the thirty days before, the range your score usually stays in, and on how many of the last four weeks' days you did a session. The narrower the range, the steadier your score. (Standard and Advanced)
- Techniques — your strongest technique and the one with the most room to grow. On Advanced, a table also lists each technique's average score and number of sessions. (Standard and Advanced)
- Your session habits — how long your sessions usually last, the three techniques you do most and how many times you did each, how many cycles you usually do and at what part of the day you practise. Tapping How many times you did each technique lists every technique. (Standard and Advanced)
- Suggestions for you — advice drawn from what keeps coming back in your measurements. (Every level)
- Mistakes you make often — which short note came up most during your sessions. The thing to work on is usually written here. (Standard and Advanced)
- Detailed analysis — your score by session length (short, medium and long sessions in a table), the technique you leave unfinished most often, your strongest component and the one with the most room to grow, the component you improved most, and how many times per session you restarted a cycle. (Advanced)
- Month by month — the average score and number of sessions for each of the last six months. (Advanced)
- Component averages — the long-run average of the measurements behind the score. Whichever one stays low shows up here. (Advanced)
- Your average measurements — the averages of numbers like exhale length and rhythm match. (Standard and Advanced)
- Measurement averages — the plain numbers behind the same measurements: target exhales heard on time, average and target exhale length, inhales heard, clean holds and cycles per session. (Advanced)
- Overall measurements — numbers such as total sessions and minutes and your completion rate. (Every level)
- Technical values — the averages of raw numbers: the room's noise floor, how far above it the detection threshold sits, the exhale peak level and the variation within an exhale. They come from sessions that have a sound level graph. (Advanced)
Only sessions done with the microphone count in score comparisons.
The personal summary opens once you have built up ten sessions.
Achievements
There are dozens of achievements: to do with trying techniques, keeping it up, scores and programs. The ones you have earned are in colour, the ones you haven't are faded, and each says what it needs.
The notification that tells you when you are close to an achievement is optional: Notification options → Tell me when an achievement is close.
Achievements aren't a list of targets; they are a record of what you did, to look back on.
The interface level changes this too
All of these screens get simpler or fuller depending on your interface level:
On Simple, they say what you did. On Standard, how it went. On Advanced, why it went that way.
At the Simple level the screen doesn't go empty; only the weight of interpretation drops. If you want more, change it under Settings → Interface.
Where your data is
All of this sits on your device. If iCloud is on it syncs in your own account — so when you sign in on another device your history is there. We have no developer access to that area.
