What makes this useful
An approximate duration can be useful even when you did not watch the clock.
Reopen the app and check the saved record before starting the visit again. A consistent label such as “interrupted entry” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.
A practical way to begin
- Select the duration range you remember, or use Not sure instead of inventing precision.
- Review duration beside the other details of the same visit.
- A time marker such as “Morning visit; interrupted while adding the note.” identifies a visit during interrupted check-ins; it does not tell you how long the visit lasted. Keep the duration unknown if you cannot remember it.
An example of useful context
“Morning visit; interrupted while adding the note.”
Is there already a saved visit with the date and details you intended?
Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
Where this fits in LooPoo
How to keep a bowel diary you can actually use explains the full workflow and its limits.
Use Check-in in the iPhone app for this part of your record. A duration range is a description, not a target to achieve.
LooPoo keeps check-ins and preferences encrypted on your phone. It describes your observations without diagnosing, treating, or predicting a medical outcome.

Keep completeness separate from comfort.
