Every way a tile can look

Each thing you track gets a tile. Below is every visual a tile can use, for each kind of goal, then how a tile changes through the day and at each size. To change one, ask your assistant, for example “Show Water as a ring”.

Visuals for each kind of goal

Dashly picks a visual that fits what you track. Scenes are illustrated and keep moving a little. Charts are flat and still, like a health or finance app. Plain drops the picture and keeps the number with one line about it.

Reaching a target

A goal of at least: water, protein, steps, savings.

ClimbSceneA climber going up a trail to the summit flag.“Show Water as a climb”
TowerSceneA tower going up floor by floor until the roof goes on.“Show Water as a tower”
RocketSceneA rocket climbing to the moon.“Show Water as a rocket”
Piggy bankSceneA piggy bank filling with coins.“Show Water as a piggy bank”
GaugeChartA bar filling toward a dashed goal line (a limit shades the space above its line).“Show Water as a gauge”
RingChartA ring that closes as the goal is reached, like an activity ring.“Show Water as a ring”
Week dotsChartThe last seven days as dots, filled on the days that went well.“Show Water as a week dots”
PlainPlainThe number and its words take the whole tile, with a thin bar toward the goal or a line comparing today with the usual.“Make Water plain”

Staying under a limit

A goal of at most: calories, spending, screen time, drinks.

GlassSceneA glass filling to the brim that overflows past the limit.“Show Food as a glass”
CupsSceneA stack of cups that sways near the limit and topples past it.“Show Food as a cups”
BalloonSceneA balloon that inflates, trembles when close and pops past the limit.“Show Food as a balloon”

Week dotsChartThe last seven days as dots, filled on the days that went well.“Show Food as a week dots”
MacrosChartOne bar per field goal (protein, carbs, fat), each filling toward its own goal; fits a topic with two or more field goals.“Show Food as a macros”
PlainPlainThe number and its words take the whole tile, with a thin bar toward the goal or a line comparing today with the usual.“Make Food plain”

Staying in a range

A goal between two values: sleep, temperature, heart rate.

Something to avoid

A topic to avoid: headaches, panic attacks, cigarettes, takeaway.

A long-term goal on a reading

A reading like weight: a goal until a date, or no goal.

A rating

Mood, energy, pain, focus.

How a tile reads your day

The same tile at different points of a day, shown as its usual scene, as a chart and as plain.

A goal to reach

Nothing logged yet, part way there, then the goal met.

Something to avoid

A quiet day counts as a good one. When it happens, the tile says so without turning red.

Task cards

A medium tile names the next task. Wide and large tiles list the open tasks with when each is due, and a large one also says what changed last. The chip puts late tasks first, then tasks due today.

Every size

A small tile is the number alone. Medium adds the visual, wide gives it room, and large adds one more chart or list beside the number.
