Can I log without internet?

Yes. Entries are saved on your device first, and CloudKit sync resumes when you're back online. Please don't delete the app before syncing finishes.

Why can't I see my entries in the Files app?

Sync between devices uses CloudKit, which doesn't appear as files. Only after you turn on "iCloud File Backup" will GutLog.json and 便历.md appear in the app's folder in the Files app.

Why isn't an entry showing on the map?

The map only shows entries with coordinates. Turn on "Settings → Log Location" and allow location access before you log. Choosing a place type like Home or Work doesn't save coordinates.

Will turning off Apple Health delete my Poopendar entries?

No. Apple Health is optional, and your entries stay in Poopendar's own database.

How do I back up or move my data?

Go to "Settings → Data → Backup & Restore" to export JSON, Markdown or CSV. Use a JSON backup for a full restore.

Does the timer stop after an hour?

Yes. The timer keeps counting from the original start time, even when you switch apps or lock your phone. If a session passes 60 minutes without being finished, Poopendar assumes you forgot to stop it, cancels it and doesn't save it. If you did go, add an entry from the Calendar.

Why didn't the Dynamic Island title change right away?

The system updates the timer digits; Poopendar updates the title, color and illustration. While the app is suspended in the background, these may lag and will catch up when you return. Whether Live Activities appear also depends on your device and settings.

How do the two Dynamic Island buttons work?

🧻 opens the app to edit the entry, which is saved when you tap Done. 🗑️ opens the app and asks you to confirm. "Keep trying" keeps the timer going; "Nothing, really" discards the session without saving.

What does the number of poops on the home screen mean?

It's the number of valid entries in the current calendar month, one 💩 per entry. You can turn it off in "Settings → Poop Drop"; it stays still when Reduce Motion is on.

How do I switch between dark and light mode?

In "Settings → Appearance", choose System, Light or Dark.
