Mood, Activity & Goal Tracking

Journiv uses a moment-first tracking model:

• Moments hold context (mood, activities, tags, location, weather, media, prompt)
• Entries are optional narrative text attached to a moment
• Goals can update automatically from activities logged in moments

This guide explains what is currently supported and how these pieces work together.

Core Tracking Model

Each moment can include:

• A primary mood
• A set of mood/activity links (mood only, activity only, or mood + activity pairs)
• Optional note, media, tags, weather, and location data
• Optional attached entry

An entry does not own tracking metadata. It extends a moment with writing content.

What’s Supported

Journiv currently supports:

• Mood tracking with scoring, categories, analytics, and grouping
• Activity logging with grouping, ordering, and usage tracking
• Goal tracking (achieve / avoid) across daily, weekly, and monthly periods
• Goal categories for organization and manual overrides when needed
• Starter packs for moods, activities, groups, and a starter goal on new accounts

Automatic Goal Tracking From Activity Logging

When activities are logged on a moment, Journiv recalculates relevant active goals for that period.

• Auto-tracking is based on the goal’s linked activity
• Progress is computed from distinct local days in the period
• Matching goals update their period log count/status
• Successful auto logs can keep a reference to the triggering moment

Important behavior:

• New achieve goals linked to an activity are backfilled from existing history
• Avoid goals generally log failure when activity is detected; success for zero-count periods is finalized on period-close logic
• Manual toggles/overrides adjust period results without losing the auto model

How Moments and Entries Connect

Journiv supports quick logging and full journaling in the same model:

• A moment can exist without an entry (quick log)
• An entry must be tied to exactly one moment
• Mood/activity tracking is anchored to the moment timeline

Current association behavior:

• You can set primary_mood while creating an entry
• Full mood/activity sets are managed at the moment layer
• Timeline/search/date/mood filtering are powered by moments

Why This Model Matters

This design gives Journiv three useful properties:

• Flexible capture: quick logs and long-form entries coexist
• Consistent analytics: mood/activity/goal progress all derive from one timeline model
• Portable history: export/import keeps moods, activities, groups, goals, and associations aligned
