The 5-Day
Scroll Tracker
A five-day introduction to noticing the patterns behind the urge to check.
When you can see and understand what is happening, change becomes possible.
darcydawe.com

Welcome

Welcome

One of the hardest things about living through change is that we often cannot see it while it is happening.

We notice the difficult days.

We notice the moments we checked again.

We notice what still hurts.

What we often miss are the quieter shifts happening underneath.

The Scroll Tracker was created to make those changes visible.

This is the five-day version. A short way to begin.

Not to judge you.

Not to score you.

Not to force you to stop.

Simply to help you see what is changing while you are living through it.

Because what we can see clearly is often easier to understand.

And what becomes easier to understand is often easier to carry.

How to use this

Five days
Your start date becomes Day 1. The Tracker follows calendar time, so Day 5 is the fifth calendar day of your Tracker.
Missing a day does not move the later days. Day 5 is still Day 5.
On Day 5 you will answer the same three questions you answered at the start, and see both sets of answers together.
Check-in
Today's Check-In is the full daily record.
It asks a short set of questions about what happened, what you checked, what was happening just before, what you hoped to find, and how you felt afterwards.
Most people complete it in a few minutes.
Quick entry
Quick Entry is for days when you want to record how many times you checked without completing the full check-in.
If you complete a Quick Entry, you can still return later and complete Today's Check-In.
If you complete Today's Check-In first, Quick Entry becomes unavailable until tomorrow.
Scroll Reset Cards
For moments when you need something right now.
This five-day version includes six sample cards, one from each of the six categories.
Every card contains recognition, reflection, a pause, and optional tapping.
The cards remain available throughout the day, even after your daily check-in has been completed.
I wanted to check but didn't
A simple way to record the moments when the urge arrived but you did not act on it.
Tap once and it is recorded.
You can use this as often as needed throughout the day.
My Journey
Your day-to-day record across the five days.
My Journey keeps your Full Check-Ins, Quick Entries, Scroll Reset Card use and “I wanted to check but didn’t” entries together in one place.
Rather than showing every event individually, My Journey brings the day together so patterns become easier to see.
A few things worth knowing
Your record is stored on this device and in this browser. If you clear browser data, switch devices, change browsers, or use private browsing, your record may be lost.
Create a backup if you would like to keep a recoverable copy. Export creates a readable copy, but it cannot restore the Tracker.
There are no right answers. There is no correct way to use this. The only rule is honesty.

FAQ

What is the 5-Day Scroll Tracker?

A short introduction to the Scroll Tracker method.

You record what happens for five days, then answer the same three questions you answered at the start and see both sets of answers together.

Why can I only complete one check-in per day?

The Tracker is designed to create a daily record over time.

Completing one check-in per day makes it easier to notice patterns, triggers and changes that might otherwise be difficult to see.

What if I miss a day?

Nothing happens.

The Tracker continues based on calendar time. Missed days remain missed days.

You can simply continue from the current day when you return.

Why does the Tracker open on a different day than my last entry?

The Tracker follows calendar time rather than completed entries.

If you miss several days, the Tracker opens on the current day of your five days rather than the day after your last entry.

What is the difference between Today's Check-In and Quick Entry?

Today's Check-In creates a full daily record.

Quick Entry records only how many times you checked. You can still return later and complete Today's Check-In.

What is "I wanted to check but didn't"?

A simple way to record moments when the urge to check was present but you chose not to act on it.

You can use it as often as needed throughout the day.

What are Scroll Reset Cards?

Scroll Reset Cards are short reflections designed for moments when you feel pulled back into checking.

This five-day version includes six sample cards, one from each of the six categories.

They remain available throughout the day, even after your daily check-in has been completed.

What happens on Day 5?

Once you have completed your Day 5 check-in, you will be offered the Day 5 Snapshot.

It asks the same three questions you answered before you began. Your two sets of answers are then shown together.

There is no score and no result. Five days is a short record, and it is presented as one.

Can I go back to my Day 5 comparison later?

Yes.

Once completed, it stays available from Home and from the completion screen.

Where can I see my entries?

Open My Journey.

It shows your day-to-day record across the five days.

Is my information private?

Yes.

Your record is stored in this browser on this device. No account is required. Your record is not sent to Darcy Dawe.

How do I save a copy of my record?

Use the Backup button.

A backup creates a copy of your record that can be stored safely and restored later if needed.

What is the difference between Export and Backup?

Export creates a readable copy of your record. It cannot restore the Tracker. Backup creates the file used to bring your record back if you change devices or lose the data stored in this browser.

Can I use a backup from the full Scroll Tracker here?

No.

The two products keep separate records. A backup from one will not be accepted by the other, and neither can overwrite the other.

The full Tracker

What continues in the full Tracker

Five days gives you a glimpse. Six months gives your record time to build.

Your daily record continues
Daily Check-In, Quick Entry and I wanted to check but didn’t continue building the picture over time.
You begin to see more than individual days
Weekly reviews and summaries bring separate entries together, helping recurring times, situations, urges and responses become easier to recognise.
You reflect at key points
Milestone Reflections at Days 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 give you places to stop and look back at what has been happening.
Earlier answers come back into view
At Day 90, the Tracker brings part of your earlier record back into view. At Day 180, your opening and closing Snapshots sit together so you can compare what you wrote then and now.
Your journey stays together
My Journey holds your Entries, Summaries and Milestones so you can return to the record you have built.
All 36 Scroll Reset Cards are included
The full Tracker includes the complete card collection for the moments when the urge is happening now.
Your record remains yours
You can export it, download a backup and restore it if you need to move or protect your record.

The progress you cannot feel is often still there.

A longer record gives you somewhere to see it.

Five days

You’ve reached the end of your five days.

Five days cannot tell the whole story.

It is a short record, and it is honest about that.

But five days can begin to make a pattern visible.

The time of day it tends to arrive. What you were doing just before. What you were hoping to find.

A longer record can show more.

Your five-day record

Where would you like to go from here?

Six months of daily record, weekly reviews, milestone reflections and all 36 Scroll Reset Cards.

Books, tools and companion resources for understanding the checking experience more deeply.
