  • What is Log Simply?
    Log Simply is a personal activity tracker for anything you want to notice across your days — moods, meals, sleep, headaches, runs, prayers, beers, books read. You set up the categories that match your life and log them with one tap.

  • How much does it cost?
    Log Simply is free. No subscription, no premium tier, no ads. You sign up, you use the app — that's it.

  • How does Log Simply make money?
    Right now, it doesn't — Log Simply is free and built on the side. If enough people end up using it, we may add an optional premium tier later to make the work sustainable. If you sign up while it's free, your account stays free forever — that's a promise.

  • How is my data handled?
    Your logs are stored in a secured database hosted in Switzerland. They're associated with an opaque user identifier — your logs sit apart from your name and email. We don't sell your data, we don't share it with third parties, and we don't train models on it.

  • Does it work offline?
    Yes. Log Simply works without an internet connection. Logs are saved locally and sync automatically the next time you're online.

  • Which devices is it available on?
    iOS and Android as native apps, plus a web version at app.log-simply.com that runs in any modern browser. The same account works across all three; your data follows you.

  • Can I export my data?
    Yes — anytime. From the Profile screen you can export a full backup as JSON, your raw entries as CSV, or a friendly spreadsheet (.xlsx). The exports are yours to keep, share, or move to another tool.

  • Is there automatic cloud backup?
    Your data is mirrored to the cloud while you have an account, so logging on one device shows up on the others. That sync is not a substitute for a personal backup — for long-term safety, use the JSON export in Profile and keep a copy you control. If you delete your account, the cloud copy is removed.

  • Can I delete my account?
    Yes. From the Profile screen you can delete your account permanently. All logs, categories, charts and account information are removed. The action is irreversible — export a backup first if you want to keep your history.

  • What are exclusive categories?
    Some things only happen once per day — your overall mood, your sleep quality. Mark a category as exclusive and Log Simply will let you pick exactly one entry type for that day, with a quick confirm if you change your mind. Non-exclusive categories (meals, coffees, walks) stack freely.

  • What are detail fields?
    Each entry type can carry optional details: a note, a duration, a counter and an intensity (1–5). You decide which of those an entry type uses. A "Walk" might capture duration and intensity; "Headache" might capture intensity and a note. Entries you don't want to annotate stay clean.

  • Which languages does Log Simply support?
    English and German today. Both the app and this site are fully translated. More languages will follow — write us at support@log-simply.com if you can help translate.

  • What are "discovered insights"?
    Log Simply scans the patterns in your own logs and surfaces things you might miss yourself — "10 of 20 Alcohol logs fall on Sundays — 3.5× more than even" or "Headaches are 2× as likely on days you skipped breakfast." Each comes with a confidence label and you can pin the ones that matter.

  • How do the analytics charts work?
    Build a chart by picking entry types and a timeframe — stacked bars, lines, state timelines. Save it to your dashboard. You can keep several dashboards (e.g. "Sleep & Mood", "Training") and revisit them whenever you want.
