Check the date before adding anything
A lower Today total after the date changes can be a different day’s view. Open Water history to compare dated totals. Adding yesterday’s drink again from Today creates another entry at the current time; it does not move the original record.
1. Open Your water days from Today
- Open Today in Frewli.
- Find the card showing your days in a row and the row of day circles.
- Choose the arrow pointing up and right beside the streak. Its accessibility label is Water history.
- In Your water days, find the row for yesterday’s date.
The list shows today and the previous 13 calendar dates, newest first. Read the weekday, month and date instead of relying on a row’s position alone. The weekly chart under You > Your progress is a separate seven-day summary; this list is the direct route to a dated daily total.
2. Read the two numbers in the row
Each row shows recorded volume / that day’s goal, in liters. The first number is consumed volume in the record; the second is the comparison target. They are not two separate amounts to add together.
Today uses the current plan. Earlier rows use saved targets when available or a calculated fallback; the weekly goals explanation covers that distinction.
| Example row | Read it as |
|---|---|
| 1.25 / 2.1 L | 1,250 mL recorded against a 2,100 mL goal |
| 0.25 / 2.1 L | 250 mL recorded against a 2,100 mL goal |
| 0 / 2.1 L | No volume recorded for that date against this example goal |
The app displays stored milliliters as liters with up to three decimal places; the decimal separator follows your locale. A zero recorded total does not establish that you drank nothing. The checkmark indicates the date’s recorded amount reached its goal; it is not a storage, backup or Health-sync receipt.
3. Follow one drink on each side of midnight
Imagine an unchanged device calendar and time zone, with no other entries or changes. On November 10, the record already contains 750 mL. You log 250 mL at 23:55, bringing that date to 1,000 mL.
You log another 250 mL at 00:05 on November 11. That second entry belongs to November 11. In the dated list, November 10 has 1 L and November 11 has 0.25 L. A 0.25 L current-day total does not mean the earlier liter was subtracted.
Frewli groups these records by the device’s current calendar day when it calculates the view. Check the dated rows when comparing an evening total with a morning total.
4. Keep lookup separate from changing a record
Your water days is a daily summary list. It is not the per-drink editor described for earlier releases. The current Today water button records at the current time; it does not offer a past-date picker in that quick-log control.
The quick button timestamps when you log, not an inferred time when you drank. If you drank at 23:55 but log at 00:05, that quick entry uses the new date. If you remember a drink from yesterday, pressing Today’s button is not a way to place it on yesterday’s row. Avoid a second entry merely to make two views match. For an older mismatch without a suitable visible control, contact support with the affected date and app version.
The 14-date display is a viewing window, not evidence that older stored records were erased. Do not use whole-device erasure to investigate a missing row.
5. Choose the right follow-up for a mismatch
If Today shows a local save warning, keep Frewli open and follow the save-and-retry guide. A visible total alone does not confirm a completed local write.
If the mismatch concerns an Apple Health copy, inspect the source date and amount through the Health water guide. Health imports and exports are separate from this dated-list lookup. If the question is the daily average or streak rather than one date’s amount, use the weekly progress guide.
6. Finish the check with Done
Choose Done to close Your water days and return to Today. Keep the distinction simple: the dated row answers what is recorded for that date; a new quick-log action records another drink now. You do not need to create an entry just to inspect yesterday.
