Statistics and the weekly digest

The Statistics screen for this week: the period chooser, five numbers (completed, created, completed late, slipped, overdue now), bar charts per day and per project with every value printed, and the lists of late and slipped tasks.

Statistics#

Open Statistics under More, or press g Shift+S. Choose this week, last week, the last 4 or 12 weeks with the arrow keys. Weeks start on your first day of the week, and days begin at your day start: with 04:00, a task completed at 01:30 counts for the day before.

  • Completed: tasks and subtasks completed in the period. Each day of a recurring task counts once; a skipped day of a habit never counts.

  • Created: new tasks. Completing a recurring task does not create one.

  • Completed late: completed on a day after the due day.

  • Slipped: due in the period, before today, and not done by the end of the period.

  • Overdue now: open and due before today, outside archived projects.

  • Time tracked: your own time entries that started in the period, a running one up to now. An entry counts whole for the day it started, even across midnight. Other members' entries on shared tasks count nothing here.

Charts show completions per day, per week, per weekday and per project (the top five and "other"). When the period holds time entries, two more show the time tracked per day (up to 4 weeks) and per project, in hours and minutes, with Inbox for tasks without a project. Every value is printed, and screen readers get a table. Tasks in the Trash are left out.

Export time entries in the menu next to the period chooser downloads a CSV of the period's entries, made on this device: it works offline and sends nothing. The columns are those of the server's CSV.

In a shared project a completed task counts for whoever completed it. Older tasks that do not record that count for their assignee, or for you when unassigned.

Statistics are computed on this device from your tasks. Nothing is sent to the server or stored, they work offline, and every synced device shows the same numbers. The Loop home's Loop pulse uses the same definitions for what was completed this week, last week and per day, so the two screens never disagree. With end-to-end encryption the numbers are the same and project names are decrypted on your device.

Weekly digest by email#

In Settings → Notifications → Weekly digest, turn on an email for your review day: last week's numbers, overdue tasks, what is due in the next seven days, projects without a next action, when you last reviewed, and a link to the review. What counts as without a next action is in Places. Pick the day and hour; your time zone and language come from the browser and are shown on the card.

The digest uses the same definitions as Statistics, your day start included. It needs outgoing email set up by the server owner, contains task names, and is not available with end-to-end encryption: turning encryption on switches it off. A failed send is retried for six hours.
