Keep a Relationship Journal

One private workspace per person or Circle — details you save, moments you log, and what they share with you.

• 5 min
• remembering and tending relationships
• Open a person from your journal and add one detail worth remembering

Every person you tag in your journal gets a private relationship workspace: one place for the details you want to remember, the moments you have logged together, and — when they are on Logit — what they choose to share with you.

🎯 Use This When

• You want to remember the small things about someone: a birthday, a coffee order, the topic to ask about next time.
• You are tending a relationship over time and want your moments together in one place.
• You keep notes about a whole family, team, or business as a single unit.
• You want private moments and visible shared posts in one clear chronology.

🔒 What Stays Private

Everything you save about a person is private to you. Tagging a person or a Circle only organizes your own journal — it never notifies anyone and never shares the entry. The people you add to a unit Circle with roles are your private notes; other members never see them. Sharing a specific moment stays a separate, explicit choice with a visible audience.

✅ One Thing To Do Now

Open a person from your journal and add one detail worth remembering.

How It Works

In short: review who this relationship is, read the moments in context, then choose one useful follow-up only if it helps.

Save a person once, remember everything

Type @ while journaling and choose Create Person to save someone — whether or not they use Logit. When you photograph a written journal page that names someone, Logit also offers to tag them, matching the name against your existing people privately on your device. You can keep as much or as little as you like:

• Contact details: any number of labeled emails, phones, addresses, links, and social handles, plus how they prefer to be reached.
• Story: how you met, your relationship label, and private notes.
• Dates: birthday, anniversaries, and any date worth remembering, each with its own note.
• Anything else: tags and custom fields — the coffee order, the kids' names, the topic to ask about next time.

Only a name is required. Everything is editable later from the person's Overview, and all of it is private to you.

One journal for a whole family, team, or business

A Circle can represent a unit — a family, household, team, business, or community. Give the Circle a kind, add the people who belong to it with a role each (Mum, CEO, Landlord), and the Circle's journal becomes the unit's relationship journal. Tag one person or the whole Circle in any entry; events tagged with the unit also appear in each member's own journal.

People in a unit do not need Logit accounts, and the people you add with roles are your private notes about the Circle — other members never see them. Saved people and Logit participants appear once in a shared roster, with separate badges for private details, Logit membership, and shared Circle governance. Tap a saved person's row to open their relationship journal, or use Edit for their private details. When a Circle participant has no private record yet, tap their row to add one; Logit creates or reuses the one private person linked to that account. Similar imported contacts remain separate until you explicitly merge them, and a merge preserves their details and journal connections.

The workspace

Open a person or unit Circle from your journal to see:

• Overview — what you keep privately, what they share publicly on Logit when they have an account, and People with their roles for Circle journals. Typed relationship editing and data-backed person context live here too. For a Circle, the visual relationship graph appears only when it is a private relationship Circle with real saved-person data to connect.
• Discussions — one newest-first journal timeline for Circle posts, your private moments about the person or Circle, and shared journal posts you are allowed to see. Circle posts keep replies, helpful marks, and answered questions; shared journal posts keep comments and mood reactions.
• Act — linked goals, tasks, habits, and check-in actions that help you keep the relationship moving.

Older links to Relationships now open Overview, and older Public posts links open Discussions, so saved links still lead to the right information.

Write freely or use a prompt

A discussion category is a label on a normal journal-style event, not a separate kind of card. Start with your own words. When a little structure would help, choose Use template and pick the prompt for that category. Templates cover questions, check-ins, resources, meetups, and wins, losses, or lessons; you can change every line before you post.

🔒 What Stays Private

Tagging a person or a Circle organizes your own journal; it never notifies anyone and never shares the entry. Sharing stays a separate, explicit choice with a visible audience, the same as everywhere else in Logit.

➡️ Where To Go Next

• Add a check-in habit so a relationship you care about gets a gentle, recurring nudge.
• Share one moment with the person or a Circle when it helps — always with a visible audience.

In Discussions, source labels keep that boundary visible: Private to you does not become a Circle post, while Shared journal means the entry already has an audience that includes the viewer.

🌿 Why This Matters

Relationships are tended, not remembered by accident. A private workspace keeps private memory, shared conversation, and the next useful action close together without blurring their boundaries.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does tagging a person share my entry with them?

No. Tagging only organizes your own journal. Nobody is notified, and nothing is shared until you deliberately share a specific moment with a visible audience.

Can someone see the notes I keep about them?

No. Everything you save about a person — contact details, story, dates, custom fields, and roles in a unit Circle — is private to you.

Do the people I save need Logit accounts?

No. You can save anyone, on Logit or not. If a person is already on Logit and their account is linked to your person, the posts you are allowed to see gather in Discussions.

What is a unit Circle for?

Use it when several people belong together — a family, household, team, or business. Tag the whole unit in an entry and it appears in each member's relationship workspace inside your own journal — nothing is copied into another person's journal — while the roles you assign stay your private notes.

Can someone else see the private moments in my Discussions timeline?

No. Your timeline can place your private notes beside shared items for context, but it does not widen their audience. Check the source label on each card.

Do I need a template to start a discussion?

No. Free writing is the quickest path. A template is an optional set of editable prompts when a category benefits from more structure.

Where did Relationships and Public posts go?

Relationship details and graph data moved into Overview. Viewer-visible public posts moved into the same chronological Discussions timeline as journal events and Circle posts. Old links continue to redirect to those places.
