# How to log an activity

From your pet's screen, open the Activities tab, tap an activity at the bottom such as Walk or Eat, fill in the details, then tap Save. Logging is free and unlimited.

You log everything from your pet's screen.
Logging activities is free and unlimited.

## Log an activity

1. On the main screen, tap your pet's card.
2. On the **Activities** tab, tap an activity at the bottom of the screen, for example **Walk** or **Eat**.
   The bar shows your first 4 activities.
   Tap **More** to see all of them.
3. Fill in the details:
   - **Started At** and, for activities that last a while, **Ended At**.
   - An item, such as **Add food name or type** or **Add medication**, if the activity has one.
   - A **Note**.
4. Tap **Save**.

A pet with nothing logged yet also shows an **Add Activity** button on its card on the main screen.

## Use a timer or enter the times

For activities that can be timed, like walks, sleep or crate time, you can switch between a timer and manual entry.

- Tap **Or start timer** to time the activity as it happens.
- Tap **Or enter manually** to type in when it started and ended.

See [How to use timers](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/how-to-set-timers).

## Log a past day

1. On the **Activities** tab, tap the day in the week at the top.
2. Tap an activity at the bottom of the screen.

The new entry is logged on the day you picked.

You can also long press an activity at the bottom of the screen and drag it onto the list.
This saves it right away, on the selected day, at the current time.

## What the numbers on the week mean

The week at the top of the **Activities** tab shows how busy each day was.

- The number in the yellow circle is how many entries that day has, for all activities together.
  An entry that runs past midnight, like a night's sleep, counts on each day it covers.
- A small orange dot means that day has reminders.

To see earlier weeks, swipe the week to the right.
You can go back to any past year, as far back as 2000.
Tap **Week** to switch to **2 Weeks** or **Month**.

## Log more than one thing at once

- **Include other activities?** logs other activities at the same time, for example pee and poop after a walk.
- **With other pets?** logs the same activity for your other pets, for example a walk together.
  It only appears if you have more than one pet.

## Add photos or video

See [How to add photos or videos to an activity](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/how-to-add-a-photo-or-video-to-your-pets-activities).

## Edit or copy an entry

To edit an entry, swipe it to the left and tap **Edit**.

You can also tap the entry to open it, then tap the three dots at the top right:

- **Edit** changes the entry.
- **Copy** starts a new entry with the same details.
  Change anything you need, then tap **Save**.
- **Delete** removes the entry.
  See [How to delete an activity](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/how-to-delete-an-activity-1d908596-5cb7-4952-adc1-8aa3c920b0c3).

## Choose which activities appear

Tap **More**, then **Settings**, to turn activities on or off for your pet.
Drag them into the order you want.
The first 4 appear at the bottom of the screen.

## Troubleshooting

- **I can't find an activity**: tap **More** and search for it.
  If it isn't there, turn it on in **Settings**.
- **"Start time cannot be after End time"**: check the times, then tap **Save** again.
- **"Exit without saving?"**: tap **No** to go back to your entry, or **Yes** to leave without saving it.
- **There's no activity bar at the bottom**: the pet is archived or marked as passed away.
