Changing compound is the one period where your own record outweighs anybody's protocol, because nobody has run your particular change. A handful of fields, written at the time, is worth more than a reconstruction later.
The last dose of the old compound and the first of the new, as calendar dates. This is the detail people get wrong afterwards, and everything else is read against it — a side effect in the first week means something different depending on what the gap was.
If you weighed weekly, keep weighing weekly. Changing what you measure at the same moment you change what you take gives you two variables and one result, and the before and after stop being comparable.
Strong, fading, worn off — recorded when you notice it rather than recalled at the end of a month. Recalled timing is smoothed timing, and the pattern you are looking for lives in the rough edges.
A symptom that appeared in week one and was gone by week three is a different finding from one that persisted, and only the dated record distinguishes them. Note the end as deliberately as the start.
Days with nothing logged are information: they are days you did not track, not days nothing happened. A record that quietly fills them in with zero is worse than one that shows the hole — which is why this app leaves a blank blank rather than storing a zero.
Dated doses, dated weights, dated symptoms, and bloods with their collection dates. That is a history somebody can read in two minutes. BioHack Track will export exactly that as a report, and it will not add an interpretation to it — what you logged, and nothing it inferred.
