Help & FAQ

How logging works

Reply to any briefing email with anything in plain language. Wren reads your reply and updates your data automatically — no special format needed.

What you can log

Expenses

• "spent $60 at Whole Foods"
• "$120 on a new pair of running shoes"

Tasks & habits

• "did my workout today" — marks an existing tracked task as done
• "start tracking my daily meditation" — adds a new recurring habit
• "I didn't actually complete that gym session" — removes a task completion you logged by mistake

Goals

• "I'd love to visit Japan next year" — logs as an aspiration
• "booked flights to Tokyo in June" — logs as booked
• "just got back from Peru" — marks a goal as completed

Milestones & events

• "dentist appointment next Tuesday at 3pm"
• "sister's wedding is June 14th"

Profile updates

• "got a raise to 95k" — updates your income
• "changed jobs — product manager at a startup now"
• "moved to Austin last month"

Correcting something Wren got wrong

Just reply with the correction — no special syntax needed:

• "correction: that was $200 not $20" — fixes a wrong expense amount
• "I didn't actually complete that gym session" — removes a task completion
• "actually I moved to London not Leeds" — updates your profile

Your confirmation receipt shows exactly what was captured each time, so you can spot anything that needs fixing straight away.

Briefing feedback

Reply with 👍 or 👎 to let Wren know how it's doing. You can also ask for more or less focus on specific areas:

• "more focus on fitness in my briefing"
• "less financial stuff"

What happens if Wren can't parse your reply

Nothing changes. If the reply is ambiguous or contains nothing parseable, no data is written. Try rephrasing and replying again — or just include a bit more context. If Wren isn't confident it understood you, you'll see a note at the bottom of your confirmation receipt.

Special commands

• STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE — pause briefings (your data is preserved)
• RESTART — resubscribe after stopping
