Metarelating QAT is a weekly action tracker designed for coaching teams. It helps you build consistent habits by defining actions each week and tracking your daily progress against them.
The core idea: each week, you choose a set of actions you want to commit to. Then, day by day, you track whether you followed through. Over time, you build a history of consistency that you and your team can see.
Everything in Metarelating QAT is organized around seasons, teams, and weeks:
At the start of each week, open the Week view. If you have no actions yet, you'll be in edit mode. From here you can:
When you're happy with your action list, tap "Done Editing" to switch to progress mode. Now you'll see a day-by-day grid where you can:
Progress circles show how you're tracking against your weekly targets. Navigate between weeks with the arrow buttons. At the start of the next week, copy your actions forward and keep building momentum.
Actions are the things you commit to doing each week. Each action is a specific, trackable task like "Meditate", "Read 30 pages", or "Exercise for 30 minutes".
Actions are per-week copies. When you copy an action into a new week, it creates an independent copy. Changes to an action's name, target, type, or notes only affect that week's version — they never alter past weeks.
In edit mode, tap the + button to see two options:
Build an action from scratch. You'll set the name, type, targets, and optionally link it to a goal.
Pull in actions from your previous weeks. The copy modal shows:
Every action has one of three types that determines how you track progress:
Each action has a recording frequency that controls how progress is measured:
You aim to hit a target on individual days. Your weekly goal is about how many days you meet that target.
You have one target for the whole week, and you can split it up however you like across days.
Targets control what "success" looks like for each action:
How many days you aim to complete the action. For example, 5 out of 7 days.
Optionally lock the action to specific days of the week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri only). If set, only those days appear in your tracking grid.
For count-type actions: the per-day minimum (daily mode) or the total for the week (weekly mode).
For duration-type actions: the per-day minimum (daily mode) or the total for the week (weekly mode).
For count-type actions, you can set a custom unit label like "reps", "pages", "miles", or "glasses". This label appears wherever counts are displayed.
You can customize targets for individual weeks without changing the action's default:
This is handy for "cheat weeks" (lower targets) or "challenge weeks" (higher targets).
Mark an action as "repeat by default" and it will appear pre-checked at the top of the Copy Past Actions modal in future weeks. Great for actions you do every single week.
Each action can have optional notes. These are visible when you view or edit the action.
You can link an action to one of your goals. This helps you see which actions are contributing to which goals.
In edit mode, drag actions using the handle on the left to reorder them. You can also change the sort mode (manual, least done, alphabetical) in Settings.
Goals are personal objectives you want to achieve during a season. They're visible to your teammates for accountability, and give context and purpose to your weekly actions.
For example, a goal might be "Run a half marathon" or "Read 12 books" or "Launch the new product feature". You then create weekly actions that move you toward those goals.
A goal's timeframe is inherited from its team's season. If the season runs for 13 weeks, that's the window for the goal. There's no separate start/end date on goals — they live and die with the season.
When you create or edit an action, you can optionally link it to one of your goals. This helps you:
When you copy actions across weeks within the same season, goal links are preserved. When copying across seasons, Metarelating QAT tries to match goals by name.
Goals can be active or archived:
Your goals are visible to all team members. Your teammates can see your goals and the progress on actions linked to them. This provides accountability and lets your coach and teammates support you.
Teams are groups of people who hold each other accountable during a season. Each team belongs to exactly one season, and each person can be on exactly one team per season. Each player sets their own goals and actions, but teammates can see each other's progress.
Teams are typically coaching groups that meet weekly (a "WAM" — Weekly Accountability Meeting).
Each team stores the following information:
Each team has a captain and one or more players:
The team captain invites new members by email. Here's how it works:
The team detail page shows:
Team members can view each other's goals and progress, but cannot edit anyone else's data.
Seasons are coaching rotation periods that define the timeframe for teams and goals. A typical season is 13 weeks, but this is configurable.
Seasons provide natural boundaries for goal-setting: at the start of a new season, you join a new (or the same) team, set fresh goals, and begin tracking new actions.
Each season stores:
The following data is tied to a specific season and does not carry over automatically:
However, when copying actions into a new season, Metarelating QAT will try to match goal links by name if a goal with the same name exists in the new season.
Use the season selector (available on the Week view and other pages) to switch between seasons. Your most recent season is selected by default. Past seasons are read-only — you can view your history but the data is locked.
The Settings page lets you customize your account and preferences. Here's what each option does:
Your login email address. This is also used for team invitations — captains invite you by this email.
Your display name, shown to team members and on your profile.
A human-readable identifier used in your profile URLs (e.g., /members/jean-luc-picard/week). Must be lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. This is auto-generated from your name but can be customized.
Toggle this on to receive a daily email summary of your week's progress. The email shows which actions you've completed and how you're tracking against your targets.
Choose what hour of the day you want to receive your daily digest email. This only appears when the daily digest is enabled.
A personal caveat or disclaimer that appears on your week view and when team members view your progress. Common examples:
This gives your teammates context about any special circumstances that might affect your progress.
