Remove an optional weight entry

Give the entry a purpose

An optional measurement can be removed without deleting the entire session. This is useful when a value was entered in the wrong unit, belongs to another date, or is information you no longer want retained.

Write and save deliberately

Open Notes, mood & weight, clear the weight text, and save. Reopen the journal to confirm the field is empty while your note and mood remain as intended.

The journal fields are optional. Mood choices are Calm, Good, Tired, Hungry, or no selection; notes are plain text up to 5,000 characters, and weight is an optional positive number in kilograms.

Use a concrete example

Future JSON exports reflect the revised record. A backup you exported before the change still contains its earlier copy and is a separate file under your control.

Read the note in context

Removing a field in the app does not edit copies already shared or stored elsewhere. Review those copies independently if your purpose is to reduce retained personal information.

A journal belongs to a particular session. Saving its note, mood, or weight preserves that record's start, end, protocol, and goal, so descriptive edits do not require a time correction.

A worked walkthrough

Suppose you decide a session should keep its context note and mood but no longer retain its optional weight. Open that record's journal rather than deleting the whole entry. Clear the weight text completely and save; entering zero is not equivalent because validation expects a positive number whenever the field is filled. Reopen the journal to confirm the intended state, then leave the accurate timing and other descriptive fields alone. If you made a backup before the change, remember that it still represents the older record. Exporting again creates a new copy but does not replace every file saved elsewhere. If the purpose is reducing retained information, review those old copies deliberately. The narrow in-app edit solves the current record, while separate file management addresses the history of exports you chose to keep.
