Check-Ins and Wellbeing

Some days are productive; some days are simply heavy. Check-ins give that context a place in Crona, next to the work you actually did.

Daily Check-Ins

A check-in is a daily self-report entry containing:

• Mood: Rating from 1 to 5.
• Energy: Rating from 1 to 5.
• Sleep: Total sleep hours and an optional sleep quality score.
• Screen Time: Optional tracking of daily computer screen time.
• Notes: Narrative logging for context on the day’s performance.

Open the check-in dialog from Daily or Wellbeing with w. Add only what is useful today; an empty day is valid.

The Wellbeing Dashboard

The Wellbeing dashboard splits data display into two primary panes:

1. Metrics Window: A 7-day rolling window showing trends in mood, energy, sleep hours, screen time, focus duration, and habit completions.
2. Momentum Pane: A pane displaying custom habit and context Momentum, current versus best streak scores, protected days, adjusted targets, skipped buckets, and completion milestones. On wide terminals, this pane becomes independently scrollable.

Read the pattern, not a verdict

Crona calculates local workload signals from:

• Focus vs. Rest Ratio: Compares active focus session durations against scheduled breaks and rest days.
• Velocity Trends: Evaluates issue completion volume over a rolling 7-day period.
• Self-Reported Health: Correlates mood and energy scores against work volumes.
• Planning Accountability: Tracks the ratio of completed plans to overdue, rolled-over, or abandoned issues.

Custom Momentum is rest-aware. Protected rest and away days can skip daily buckets, reduce weekly or monthly targets when real availability shrinks, and preserve continuity when a protected bucket should not count against the story. Away Today is reversible for the current logical date; after the day boundary, qualifying protected dates become stable historical records.

These are prompts for noticing a pattern, not a diagnosis. Use the trend indicators to decide whether tomorrow needs less work, more rest, or a different plan.

Local & Private Storage

Check-in notes and ratings stay in the local SQLite database. They are not sent to an external service.
