# Read your analytics

> Analytics shows your completions, focus time, coins and habit streak, with a trend you can group by day, week, month or year. Drag the range strip to pick the dates. Click an hour, a weekday, a topic or an item to narrow the other charts to it. Everything is worked out on your computer.

*Figure: Analytics for the last 14 days: 90 completions, 39 h 45 m of focus time, 1,230 coins and a 52 day habit streak, then the daily trend with bars for focus time and lines for task and habit completions. Example data.*

- Tasks and habits you finished each day.
- The focus time you tracked each day.

*The top of Analytics for the last 14 days. Example data.*

## Read the summary cards

Four numbers for the dates you picked, at the top of the tab.

**Completions** counts finished tasks and habits. **Focus time** is the time you tracked with the timer or logged by hand. **Coins** is what those completions paid. Click one of these three cards to see it alone in the trend, and click it again to see the whole trend.

**Habit streak** shows your current streak, and **Best** your longest. The dates and filters never change them. See [how streaks are counted](https://dabadoro.com/docs/habits-and-streaks/).

## Group the trend by day, week, month or year

Week is new in 1.2. Each bar is one day, week, month or year.

*Figure: The trend chart's controls: Day, Week, Month and Year; Tasks and Habits; and the legend, lines for counts and bars for time.*

- **Group chart by**: Week adds up the days of each week.
- **Show item type**: Turn Tasks or Habits off to see the other alone.

Click a bar to look at that period only: the cards and the charts below follow it. Click it again to go back. The arrow keys move between bars, and the time comes from the [focus timer](https://dabadoro.com/docs/focus-timer/).

## Pick the dates with the range strip

The strip under the trend shows your whole history. The framed part is what the chart shows.

*Figure: The range strip: arrows, the dates in view (October 7 to October 20, 14 days), and a frame with a handle at each end over the last two weeks of the history. Example data.*

- **Arrows**: Move the frame one step back or forward.
- **Dates**: The dates in view, and how many days.
- **Handles**: Drag either end to widen or narrow the dates.
- **Frame**: Drag it to move along your history.

*The range strip under the trend, set to the last 14 days. Example data.*

> **Shortcut:** Focus a handle and press `←` or `→` to move it one step, or `Page Up` and `Page Down` for bigger steps.

## Find your best hours and weekdays

Two charts add up your time by hour of the day and by day of the week.

*Click a bar to filter by it, as in the app. The chip above the charts removes it. Example data.*

**Hourly consistency patterns** shows when in the day you work, and **Daily consistency cycle** shows which weekdays. A selected hour or weekday filters everything on the tab except the trend.

> **Tip:** Your best hour is a good time for the task you keep putting off.

## Filter by topic or item

See where your time went, then narrow everything to one topic or one task or habit.

*Figure: Topic distribution as a ring: Study 46%, Health 22%, Growth 18% and Mind 14%, beside two rows of Activity by item. Example data.*

*Topic distribution and Activity by item for the last 14 days. Example data.*

Click a topic in **Topic distribution** to filter by it. In **Activity by item**, search with **Search items or topics**, sort **By count**, **By hours**, **By date** or **By name**, and click an item to see it alone. **Clear filters** removes them all.

> **Note:** Topics come from your tasks and habits. Give each one a topic in [tasks and topics](https://dabadoro.com/docs/tasks-and-topics/) and this chart fills in.

## Questions

What people ask about the numbers.

**A chart says nothing matches**

A filter or the dates leave nothing to show. Press **Clear filters** or **Show all time**.

**Where is the heatmap?**

On the dashboard, at the bottom of the schedule. Press `Ctrl+H` to open it. See [the heatmap shortcut](https://dabadoro.com/docs/keyboard-shortcuts/#toggle-activity-heatmap).
