Individual Entry Tracking

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 ├─ symptoms/2026-04-28_14-12_headache.md └─ 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.
