Set it up once, then it takes two minutes a day
The whole mechanism, in detail. What you choose, what it asks, and what comes back.
There are three parts to it. You decide what gets asked, you answer it in the time it takes to make a coffee, and q.buzz looks across the lot rather than one field at a time.
You write the questions
This is the part most trackers skip. Rather than accepting a fixed list, you choose what gets asked and how it gets asked. Start from a preset for your condition and change anything, or start from nothing.
A question that does not match how you actually experience something is worse than no question at all, because you will answer it inconsistently and the record will not hold up.
And you can change it later. Editing a question keeps the history you have already recorded against it.
Seven question types, so a thing can be recorded the way it actually behaves.
You set what each end means. Someone else’s ten is not yours.
Did it happen, or did it not. The fastest thing to answer.
Hours, doses, cups, kilometres. Whatever counts.
Minutes, hours, or all day. Often more telling than intensity.
More than one place, or more than one trigger, in a single entry.
A line in your own words when a number does not cover it.
When it started. Timing is how a lag becomes visible.
How it fits into an ordinary day
Your questions are already there in the order you put them. Nothing is asked twice, and nothing is asked that you did not choose.
- Morning
- A reminder, if you asked for one
You choose whether there is one at all, and when. There is no nagging and no second reminder if you ignore the first.
- In the day
- One tap on the watch
When something happens and your hands are full, record it from the watch face without finding your phone.
- Evening
- The check-in, under two minutes
Your questions in the order you put them. Skip any of them. Add a line of context only if you feel like it.
- Any time
- Offline is fine
Log with no connection and it syncs when you are back in range. A flight or a walk out of coverage does not leave a hole.
- Sleep
- Heart rate
- Movement
- Time on your feet
So the days you do not open the app are not blank days.

Looking across everything, not one field at a time
Any single tracker can show you a line for sleep. The useful question is what your sleep sits next to, and that only works if the things are in the same record.
- Across fields
- Sleep against symptoms, food against gut, stress against everything.
- Across time
- A lag of a day or two, which is where most people stop looking.
- Against nothing
- Only your own record. There is no population average being applied to you.
- In plain language
- A sentence you could say out loud, with the chart underneath if you want it.
q.buzz shows you your own patterns. It does not diagnose anything, it does not predict, and it is not medical advice.
Your heaviest days follow nights under six hours. Twelve of the last sixteen.
A sentence first, and the chart underneath it if you want to check.
Everything q.buzz can hold, in one place
Switch on what is relevant and leave the rest alone. Each of these has a page of its own explaining what it records and how to set it up.
- Symptoms and painWhere, how it feels, how long
- Energy and fatigueThe days that cost more than they should
- Sleep and restHours, quality, and the naps
- Cycle and hormonesCycle day beside everything else
- MoodA quick read, not an essay
- Stress and pressureWork, money, the week itself
- FocusThe afternoons that go missing
- Food and drinkMeals, coffee, the late night
- MedicationDoses, timing, and response
- SupplementsWhat you are trying, and whether it did anything
- MovementWalks and effort, without the fitness framing
- Weather and seasonFor anyone who suspects it matters
- Custom fieldsName it yourself. Anything at all
Start from a preset set up for one condition, then change anything that does not fit. It is the same app underneath, just arranged for what you are dealing with.
- Endometriosis
- Fibromyalgia
- IBS and gut
- Migraine
- PCOS
- sleep
- pain
- mood
- energy
- coffee
- cycle day
- medication
- gut symptoms
- fatigue
- late nights
- flares
- water
- screen time
- guitar practice
- steps
- appointments
None of this works if you do not trust it
A record is only honest if you are willing to write the real thing down, so the privacy model is part of the mechanism rather than a policy page.
Your private data is unlocked on your device, and only there. Not even we can read it.
You are the person we work for, not the product. No advertising, and nothing traded on.
Take a copy whenever you like. Delete it and it is gone for good.
The full privacy policy sets out exactly what is collected and why.
Start with one thing you want to understand
Pick one thing, give it a month, and see what turns up. Free to start, nothing to cancel.
