Share a rhythm summary with context

Rhythm creates an image from the Current rhythm day count.

Understand the selected surface

Rhythm creates an image from the Current rhythm day count. That number follows Fastly's consecutive goal-met end-date rule, so it is narrower than a general statement about every day in your life.

Set it up or export deliberately

Select Rhythm in Share and read the caption. If the number surprises you, inspect qualifying main-history sessions and their saved goals before exporting.

The Share screen exports a PNG for Session, Rhythm, or This week, with Square, Story, or Landscape proportions and 1080 px or 2160 px width. Preview the selected quantity before choosing a destination.

Check what is actually shown

Archiving, time edits, or differing goals can affect this count. A rhythm image therefore summarizes the current ledger rather than certifying a behavior independently.

Respect the display and file boundary

Add enough context in your own message if the recipient could misunderstand the number. Do not present the image as proof of a medical outcome or a ranking against another person's record.

Progress images exclude the journal. A JSON backup is a separate, readable file containing the ledger and supported settings, so the two exports have different privacy and recovery consequences.

A worked walkthrough

Imagine sharing a rhythm count after changing goals during the period being summarized. Each qualifying date depends on at least one main-history session meeting its own saved goal, so the count reflects those settings as well as recorded ends. Another person's count, or your count from a different routine, may use different thresholds and recording coverage. If you send the visual, describe it as your app's current rhythm summary rather than a standardized measure of effort or health. Check whether recent archiving or time corrections changed the dataset before treating a difference from an older image as a new event. The image excludes notes that might explain these changes, which is useful for privacy but limits context. A concise accompanying description can clarify what the number represents without disclosing the full ledger or implying more than the software actually calculates.

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.
