Individual Entry Tracking

Optionally write one file per timestamped entry — every workout, every blood-pressure reading, every mood log gets its own Markdown file with the timestamp baked into the filename.

When to use it

Daily exports give you one file per day with summaries. Individual tracking is for the case where you want to cite a single event — link to a specific workout from a journal note, or backlink a mood entry into a weekly review.

This is on top of the daily export, not instead. With both on, you get both kinds of files.

Two-step setup

The settings UI is intentionally a two-step funnel:

  1. Master switch. Turn the feature on globally.
  2. Per-metric selection. Choose which metrics get individual files. Most people don't want a file per heart-rate reading (10,000 / day) — but they do want one per workout (~1 / day).

Quick actions

Enable Suggested Metrics

Sensible defaults: mood, symptoms, workouts, blood pressure, blood glucose. The metrics where one-file-per-entry actually makes sense.

Enable All Metrics

Everything. Be careful — this can produce thousands of files per day.

Disable All Metrics

Clears the per-metric selection without flipping the master switch.

Folder structure

Entries Folder

Vault-relative path where individual files land. Default: entries.

Organize by Category

If on, entries are nested under category subfolders (entries/workouts/, entries/symptoms/). If off, all entries sit in one flat folder.

Filename template

Default: {date}_{time}_{metric}. Available placeholders: {date}, {time}, {metric}, {category}. Example output:

{vault}/entries/workouts/2026-04-28_07-32_workout.md
{vault}/entries/symptoms/2026-04-28_14-12_headache.md
{vault}/entries/blood-pressure/2026-04-28_19-45_blood-pressure.md
Heads up.

Only categories where you've enabled at least one metric in Health Metrics show up here. Enable a metric there first, then come back to choose whether it gets per-entry tracking.
