# Log from your Home Screen in one tap

The hardest part of keeping a diary is remembering. Stool Log's widgets put logging on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, so one tap after you go is all it takes.

## Log without opening the app

These widgets save in place, then show "Saved" with Undo and Add details for two minutes:

- **Stool:** all seven Bristol types in a row. Tap the one that matches.
- **Symptom:** your usual symptoms. Tap one, then mild, moderate or severe.
- **Food:** the foods you log most.
- **Quick log:** stool types, symptoms, foods, a glass of water and your next medicine in one large widget.
- **Water:** your glasses against your goal, with +1 glass.
- **Medicines:** today's doses with Taken.
- **Goals:** today's daily goals, with + to log water, a cup or a meal.
- **Toilet timer:** start it, then tap when you're done.

**Last stool** shows how long it's been, and in the evening, on a day with nothing logged, a quick way to log.

## Lock Screen and Control Center

Most widgets come in Lock Screen sizes too: a ring for water, your last stool, medicines or a quick log button. On iOS 18 or later, Control Center and the Action button get controls to log, add a glass of water, mark a medicine taken, or start the toilet timer.

## Private on a shared screen

Turn on **Discreet mode** and the widgets show numbers instead of stool shapes, leave out symptom names and say "log" instead of "stool".

## For someone else

Widgets log for the person chosen at the top of Today, so a parent can keep a widget for a child's diary. See [diaries for others](https://stoollog.com/features/family).

## Add a widget in seconds

All widgets are free. Get set up on Today shows you how to add one.
