Common questions

What does the free plan include?

The free plan has 5 slots. A slot is one item, or one list with 5 of its items. An item is anything you log, such as Coffee or Gym, and a list is an item like Snack that opens its snacks. So Snack with 5 snacks is one slot. Groups, routines, places and books are free and have no limit. To see or change your 5, open Settings, Your 5. You can put 3 items into your 5 each day, for example with a swap. Taking an item out is always free, and the count starts again at 4:00 in the morning. Markd Pro removes the limit.

Where did Categories and Groups go?

Version 1.7.0 uses new names. Activity is now Item, Category is now Group, and the old Group is now Routine. Your data did not change. Find them all in My items, from the ☰ button on the Now card or at the top of Settings.

How do lists work?

A list is a group with an item that opens it, such as Snack. A tap on Snack shows the snacks in its group and suggestions, and a tap on one logs it. "Just Snack" logs Snack itself. Hold a snack, or tap "+ Mix", to log several at once with an amount for each. Edit in the sheet adds, renames, hides or moves the items of the list. To make a list, open an item's settings and set "When you tap" to "Opens its list".

How do I log several items at once?

Make a routine. Open My items, Routines, then New routine, and pick its items. One tap on the routine logs all of them. On a past part of the day on the timeline, "Save as routine" in the Repeat checklist makes a routine from what you logged then.

How do I back up my data?

Automatic backups are on unless you turned them off. Markd saves one backup file a day in your Download folder, in "Markd Timeline". Settings, Restore data shows your newest backups, and "Browse files" opens any backup file. After you install the app again, the first screen offers a backup it finds, or "Restore a backup" lets you pick the file. With Markd Pro you can also share a backup file, a CSV file for spreadsheets, or an export for an AI chat.

How do reminders work?

Open an item's settings and turn on Reminder. "After the last log" reminds you when a set time has passed since you last logged the item. With Pro, "Every day at" reminds you at a fixed time and skips days that already have a log. A group can remind you too, for example "Nothing in Drinks for 2h". If Android blocks notifications or exact alarms, Today shows a warning with a button that fixes it.

How does sleep work?

Markd reads sleep from Health Connect, for example from your watch. Tap Connect sleep on Today, or give the permission in Health Connect. The timeline then shows your sleep and your awake time. For the widget to show your sleep while the app is closed, also allow background access when Markd asks for it.

How do I change the time of a log?

Tap the log on the timeline to open it. Use the buttons from -1h to +1h, tap Now, or tap the time or the date to pick them. To move several logs at once, hold one on the timeline, tap the others, then drag the time tape at the bottom or use its buttons. All of them move by the same amount.

How do I search my logs?

Hold the Quick Log button and tap Search Entries. It finds logs by their note, item, group, journey or date (for example "Nov 5"). On the History tab, the search filters the calendar to one item.

How do I hide sensitive items?

Open the item's settings, then Privacy and search, and turn on Sensitive. Markd Pro is needed to switch it on, and switching it off is always free. Then turn off "Show sensitive items" in Settings, Privacy. Sensitive items and their logs are hidden on every screen and in the widgets until you turn it on again. Backups always include them, and the AI export has its own "Include sensitive items" switch.

What are search shortcuts?

Give an item a short text, such as "wt" for Water, in its settings under Privacy and search. When you type the shortcut in Quick Log, that item comes first. With Super Fast Log on (Markd Pro, in Settings, Logging), Quick Log logs the item as soon as you type its shortcut, with no tap.

Can I change the Quick Log button?

Yes. Open Settings, Look, Quick Log button to change its shape and icon, with a preview of the result. Markd Pro adds button looks, mushroom icons, frames, backgrounds and a mood cycle that changes the button through the day. Backups keep your button settings, with the times of the mood cycle.

Can I change how an item looks?

Open the item's settings, then Look. Pick a background for its card and a frame for its icon. Backgrounds are free, most frames unlock as you log more, and some frames come with Markd Pro. A routine can have a background too.

How do I change the Stats cards?

Stats is part of Markd Pro. On the Stats tab, tap the tune button at the top right. Drag the cards to put them in a new order, and turn each card on or off.

How do I delete my data?

The app has no account, so there is nothing to delete on a server. You can delete single logs and items in the app. Settings, Clear all data deletes everything after it saves a dated backup to your Download folder. You can also uninstall the app.

App shortcuts and automation

Markd Timeline has app shortcuts that work in three ways.

The links and what they open:

Stats, Consistency and Patterns are part of Markd Pro. Their shortcuts always open the app, but without Pro you see the locked Stats tab. The free plan's limit also applies to markd://new-activity.

Why don't I see Markd Timeline's app actions in Samsung Routines?

App shortcuts need app version 1.5.3 or newer. Android can keep the old shortcut list for a while after an update. If the actions do not show under "Open an app or do an app action", restart your phone once.
