Your day

Today and your journal

Log moments, review earlier days, record check-ins, and respond to reflection cards.

Today combines the day's journal with scheduled tasks, habit check-ins and other daily material. The journal is for what happened, including short observations that do not need a canvas project.

Select the calendar tab in the list panel. Enter text in Log a moment... and press Return to create a timestamped entry. A short note such as “Finished the first sketch; the window light helped” is enough.

Work with today's entries

An entry's menu offers ways to edit or reuse it. You can add it to the canvas, add it to the idea list, make it a task, or flag it as important. Creating another item from an entry is a separate action; simply reading the entry does not place a node on the canvas.

The entry editor has Save, Cancel and Delete. Change the text and use Save when you want to keep the edit. Delete removes the journal entry rather than sending a canvas note to the note Trash panel.

The time editor lets you move an entry earlier on the same day. It does not offer unrestricted movement into another day or a future time. Use this for an event you logged late, rather than changing the text to pretend the timestamp is something else.

Check-ins, meals and scheduled actions

Today can show the tasks scheduled for the day and recurring check-ins. These are the same underlying tasks and habits used by the Tasks surface, not independent daily copies.

The check-in controls also offer Log energy and Log emotional state. Choose the state and optionally add a short blurb. These are entries you explicitly record; a missing check-in is not a value to fill in by guessing.

When text looks like a meal, Glob can ask whether to log it as one. Log meal confirms the label; Not a meal dismisses that interpretation. Entry actions also include Mark as Meal, Review Meal and Remove Meal Label. See meal estimates for the separate review and calorie fields.

Completed flows and timed logs can contribute journal records. Inspect their session history when checking how an entry was produced. The flow review behaviour, including its background exception, is described under timers and flows.

Review completed days

Journal History in the tools selector opens previous day cards. Completed days collect after midnight. An empty history on your first day is expected; it is not a command to manufacture a previous day.

Day boundaries and displayed times follow the Mac's calendar and time zone. A change of time zone can affect which calendar day a timestamp belongs to.

A day card can open Journal Summary. This view can show reflection cards derived from available evidence, and offers Refresh evidence. Nothing to reflect on yet means there is not enough eligible material for a card. It does not mean your journal entries failed to save.

Respond to a reflection

Read the card's observation and supporting sources before choosing an action. Available actions depend on the card:

Action Intended use
Helpful Confirm that a grouping was useful
Accept Record a tradeoff you consciously accept
Test Start a personal experiment
Act on it Write what you intend to change
Qualify Add the context in which the observation holds
Not quite Mark an incorrect grouping
Suppress Hide that observation until material changes
Refute Record a rejection of the claim
Dismiss Dismiss the card

Qualify opens a note editor; choose Save to keep the qualifier. Act on it opens a separate commitment form with Start and Cancel. These choices are not synonyms for a generic thumbs-up.

Personal provides the related operating manual, experiments, accepted tradeoffs and refusals. A generated card is different from a record you explicitly chose to keep there.

Reflection and processing controls

Settings includes Temporal Evidence & Reflection, with Build the temporal ledger, Show reflection cards, Allow external clarity passes, Enforce daily spend ceiling and Run reflection pass now. Emergency stop (override) pauses that feature stack even when individual settings remain enabled.

Journal hosted processing has a separate Allow hosted journal processing setting. The summary's hosted-processing menu offers Hosted packet preview and Processing receipts. Use those controls to inspect the feature's packet and processing record rather than assuming every AI feature uses the same context or the same consent dialog.

The Temporal Ledger view lists the day's recorded events and lets you inspect an event. It is a record viewer, not an undo tool or a way to reconstruct past note text.

These controls are feature-specific. They are not a single switch for every AI action in Glob. For data handling, consult the Privacy Policy; for questions about an account, use account help.
