A HELPING HAND · HISTORY & RECORDS

Recognize a duplicate-looking record

Two similar durations are not enough to prove a duplicate. Repeated routines can produce entries with the same goal, mood, or rounded duration while describing different events.

Two similar durations are not enough to prove a duplicate. Repeated routines can produce entries with the same goal, mood, or rounded duration while describing different events.

Make the smallest useful change

Open each candidate and compare start and end dates, not just the row title. Check notes for a test label or explanation before deciding which record is unwanted.

The month calendar can filter the list to a selected day. Tapping that selected day clears the selection; changing months also clears it, so always read the list heading before assuming records are absent.

Verify the result

Fastly keeps a single active timer, so investigate the actual event history rather than assuming the app ran simultaneous independent timers. Imported datasets may also have records you did not recently enter.

Preserve an honest history

If you identify a genuine unwanted copy, archive it first when uncertain. That gives you a reversible way to examine how the remaining history reads.

Fastly is a lifestyle timer and journal. These notes explain the app and offer reflection prompts. They are not medical advice or a prescribed eating schedule.
