Dose logging is the core action in Unfair and records each supplement event for recommendations, reminders, and journal review.
Where you can log a dose
You can log from Library surfaces, stack detail actions, and manual entry sheets.
The primary action label in app is `Log Dose`.
What gets stored
A logged event stores timestamp, supplement name, dose value, dose unit, route, and optional notes or side effects.
Manual entries are saved to the local journal store first, then written to HealthKit when possible.
Route handling
Unfair assigns a nutrition route when the supplement maps to a HealthKit nutrition quantity. Otherwise it uses a medication route and falls back to local storage when direct write is not available.
This keeps journal continuity even across HealthKit write failures.
Tips for cleaner data
- Keep units consistent for repeated supplements
- Add notes only when context is meaningful
- Use side effect notes when timing tolerance changes
- Correct bad entries the same day to keep review quality high
Use Adjusting Doses and Cycles when your logged pattern shows a mismatch between plan and execution.
