## What Is Tracked

Mini Diarium calculates the following statistics from your journal:

| Stat | Description |
|------|-------------|
| Total entries | The total number of entries across all dates |
| Total words | The total word count across all entries |
| Average words per entry | Total words divided by total entries |
| Longest streak | The longest run of consecutive days with at least one entry |
| Current streak | How many consecutive days (ending today) you have written |
| Entries by weekday | A breakdown of how many entries fall on each day of the week |

## Streaks

A streak is a consecutive sequence of calendar days where you have at least one journal entry. Gaps (days with no entries) break a streak.

- **Current streak** counts backwards from today. If you have not written anything today, the streak may already show as broken even if you wrote yesterday.
- **Longest streak** is the maximum consecutive-day run found anywhere in your history.

## Privacy

All statistics are computed locally from your decrypted data. Nothing is sent off-device. The statistics panel is only accessible when your journal is unlocked.
