Stats dashboard overview

The dashboard layout

The stats dashboard is organized into chart cards. Each card shows one metric over time and includes controls to adjust the view. The cards are laid out so the most general metrics (reading time, words read) appear first, followed by more specific ones (quiz performance, vocabulary growth).

Pick a time range

Use the range controls to zoom from a single week to all-time. As the window widens, the chart granularity shifts — daily bars for a week view, weekly bars for a month, and monthly or cumulative for longer ranges.

Shorter ranges are useful for spotting recent trends and checking whether you met your daily goal. Longer ranges reveal the overall trajectory of your study habits.

Reading time chart

Shows active reading time per period. This is the most straightforward metric — more time generally means more exposure. Use it alongside words read to gauge your pace. If reading time is high but words read is low, you may be spending time on difficult passages or re-reading. See Reading time and idle pauses for how idle time is excluded.

Words read chart

Tracks how many word tokens you progressed through, measured with forward-first accounting. This chart tends to climb steadily during sustained reading sessions. If it plateaus while reading time continues, you are likely spending time reviewing rather than advancing — which is perfectly fine, but the two metrics together tell a more complete story.

Quiz performance chart

Shows accuracy and attempts over time. A rising accuracy trend indicates that your vocabulary is solidifying. If accuracy is dropping, you may be encountering harder material or words you have not studied enough. Quiz volume (number of attempts) helps contextualize accuracy — high accuracy on very few attempts is less meaningful than moderate accuracy on many.

Vocabulary growth chart

Tracks the number of words at each familiarity level over time. The New category should shrink as you interact with words, while Learning, Familiar, Known, and Mastered grow. If New is not decreasing, you may be adding stories faster than you are studying them.

Activity heatmap

A visual calendar showing your daily study activity. Gaps are immediately visible, which can help you identify patterns — do you tend to miss weekends? Does a busy work schedule correlate with study gaps? The calendar is not a judgment tool; it is information for your own awareness.

Combine metrics

No single chart tells the whole story. Reading time, words read, quiz performance, and vocabulary growth answer different questions. The dashboard is most useful when you look across them. For example, steady reading time with growing vocabulary but flat quiz accuracy might suggest you are reading more than you are reviewing.
