Insights (Gold)

Insights is the journal seen from a little way back: how much you have written, your longest run of days, your rhythm, and stacks of counts. It is part of journal gold — the one-time upgrade (Gold).

Tap "insights" in the header. Without journal gold the switch reads "insights ✦"; the view says what insights counts and "it is part of journal gold.", and "✦ what insights shows" opens the Gold sheet.

#What it shows

• The top lines — the counts in words, the longest run, and the rhythm.
• The stacks — "by journal" (with a "not in a journal" row), "by app", "by month" (for the year the sky is turned to), "by tag" (rows like "#garden") and "by subject" — never a word you've ignored. See The reader. A stack with nothing in it says "nothing here yet."

Every number comes with its own words, so it can be read aloud; a screen reader hears the words, not the bars.

#A row

Each row shows its mark, its name, its count and a bar as long as the count. Tap it to show these in the list:

• a journal row narrows the list to that journal;
• a tag row searches the list for that tag;
• any other row opens the list as it is.

#Subjects, found with the AI

"subjects · found with the ai" shows only while the AI is switched on. It finds what several entries are about even when they use different words — "the allotment" and "the beds".

1. Tap "✦ find subjects across different words". The first time, it asks your yes before anything is sent. It says "asking…" while it works.
2. It keeps only subjects that name at least two real entries, at most twelve, and says "the ai found N subjects". A subject that names a word you've ignored is not shown.
3. Each subject lists its entries; tap one to read it. "✦ ask again" asks again.

With fewer than three entries it says "a few more entries first — subjects are what several of them share". The subjects last until the app closes. With "on-device (gemini nano)" chosen as the service on a phone that doesn't have Google's on-device model, it says "on-device ai isn't available on this phone — choose another service in settings · ask the sky" and asks nothing.

#What is left out

A hidden entry is never counted or shown, and neither is an entry a locked journal holds. With nothing written it says "nothing to count yet. write something, and this fills in by itself."
