LoopLog: Track & Repeat
Welcome to LoopLog support! LoopLog is a powerful activity tracker that helps you maintain habits, routines, and recurring tasks by visualizing when you last did them and when they’re due next. With smart notifications, adaptive frequency learning, and dual time display modes, LoopLog adapts to YOUR schedule, not the other way around.
Getting Started
Creating Your First Group
- Tap the + button in the top right corner
- Choose a name for your group (e.g., “Fitness”, “Health”, “Home”)
- Select an icon and color that represents your group
- Tap Add to create the group
Adding Activities

Logging an Activity
Tap the + button next to an activity to log it right now. An Undo button appears for a few seconds in case you tapped by mistake. Touch and hold + to log at a specific time or with a note. Tap the activity itself to see its history.
Activities that are due or overdue also appear in Due Now at the top of the home screen, so you can log them without opening their group.
Descriptions, Photos & Files
Each activity can have a description with bold, italic, underline, strikethrough and bulleted lists (up to 10,000 characters), plus up to 20 photos or files: a photo of a filter’s size label, a manual as a PDF, or a medication label.
- Open an activity’s history and tap Edit in the About card (or edit the activity and tap Description & Attachments)
- Use the formatting bar above the keyboard, or the Format menu when text is selected
- Tap the paperclip to add photos, take a photo, or choose files. You can also paste an image straight into the description; it’s added as an attachment
- Tap ✓ to save
Tap an attachment to view it full screen. Touch and hold it to share or delete it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does syncing work?
LoopLog uses iCloud to automatically sync your data between all devices signed into the same Apple ID. Every change is saved on your device right away, even offline, and then sent to iCloud. Your other devices usually receive it within a minute.
A small status bubble at the top of the screen shows what sync is doing:
- Checking for updates… / Saving to iCloud…: syncing is in progress
- Up to date: this device has your latest changes
- Offline · Changes saved on this iPhone: your changes are safe and will sync when you’re back online
- Sign in to iCloud to sync or iCloud storage is full: something needs your attention
Tap the iCloud button at the top of the home screen for details, including when this device last sent and received changes.
What do the colors mean?
A group’s color only helps you tell groups apart. An activity’s status shows as the color of the ring around its + button, along with a symbol and a word like “Overdue”. On the home screen, each group card counts how many of its activities are overdue or due.
- Green: On track - activity is within its target frequency
- Yellow: Due - past target frequency by up to 50%
- Orange: Overdue - past target frequency by 50-150%
- Red: Very overdue - exceeded target frequency by more than 150%
- Gray: Never logged - no completion recorded yet
How do I set custom frequencies?
When adding or editing an activity, you can choose from preset frequencies (daily, weekly, monthly) or set a custom interval. Options include:
- Hours (for very frequent activities)
- Days (for regular habits)
- Weeks (for weekly routines)
- Months (for monthly tasks)
- Years (for annual events)
How do I delete an activity or log entry?
Swipe left on an activity or log entry and tap Delete, or touch and hold an activity for more options. Deleting asks you to confirm first.
What are the different history views?
LoopLog offers three ways to view your activity history:
- List View: Chronological list of all log entries with notes
- Month Calendar: Heatmap showing daily activity intensity
- Year View: Full-year heatmap to spot long-term patterns
Each view includes detailed statistics showing total logs and median intervals between activities.
How do I edit a log entry?
In the activity history view, tap on any log entry to edit its timestamp or add/modify notes.
How are activities ordered?
Activities sort automatically by urgency: never-logged activities first, then the most overdue. To reorder groups, touch and hold a group on the home screen and choose Reorder Groups.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. LoopLog stores all data locally on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We have no servers and cannot access your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Does LoopLog work offline?
Yes! LoopLog works completely offline. When you’re back online, any changes will sync automatically via iCloud.
What devices are supported?
LoopLog is a universal app that works on:
- iPhone (iOS 26 or later), including iPhone Duo
- iPad (iPadOS 26 or later)
- Mac with Apple silicon (macOS 26 or later)
On iPad, and on iPhone Duo when it’s open, your groups and the activities in the one you pick appear side by side. Fold or unfold iPhone Duo and LoopLog stays right where you were.
For formatting and attachments to sync properly, update LoopLog on all your devices.
Are there any subscriptions?
Nope! LoopLog is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions or hidden fees. Buy once, use on all your devices.
How do notifications work?
LoopLog offers customizable notifications for each activity:
- At Due: Get reminded exactly when an activity is due
- Before Due: Set a custom reminder before the due time
- Smart Timing: Let LoopLog choose optimal reminder times based on your patterns
Tap a reminder to open the activity, or touch and hold it and choose Log Now to log it without opening the app.
What is adaptive scheduling?
Adaptive scheduling is an intelligent feature that learns from your actual activity patterns. When enabled for an activity, LoopLog calculates your median interval between logs and uses that for scheduling instead of the fixed frequency. Perfect for activities with natural variation like menstrual cycles, irregular workouts, or flexible routines.
Can I switch between Time Since and Time Until views?
Yes! LoopLog offers two display modes:
- Time Since: Shows how long ago you completed an activity
- Time Until: Shows when an activity is due (or how overdue it is)
You can toggle between these modes to get different perspectives on your activities.
