Step 4 of 4 · Diary card

Save your week as a PDF

Open your weekly summary, pick the week you want, and save it as a PDF. Read it before your session, or upload it to your clinic's portal.

Your diary cards add up to a weekly summary: safety, engagement, and what showed up in your notes, all on one page. You can save any week as a PDF.

  1. Tap Save as PDF

    An Options screen slides up, showing No Printer Selected, paper size, and a preview. That's your iPhone's print screen. You don't need a printer.

  2. Tap the Share icon, top right

  3. Choose "Save to Files"

    Your week appears as a PDF Document. Tap Save to Files, pick a folder, and tap Save.

What's in the summary you're saving

Four parts, in this order. Worth a look before you save, so you know what you're sharing.

This week's signals

  • How many of the seven days have a saved diary card, compared with last week.
  • Which days you missed.

Safety

  • Self-harm urges and suicidal thoughts logged that week.
  • Your vulnerability on the days you flagged urges.
  • The skills you logged on those same days.

Therapy engagement

  • A Monday-to-Sunday strip showing which days you completed.
  • Completion rate, days with skills logged, and quick vs. full entries.
  • The goal you set last week.

What else showed up

  • Any behaviors you added to your own diary card.
  • Words that came up in your notes, and notes worth reading again.
  • Daily detail: emotions and vulnerability factors across the week, scored 0 to 5.
This isn't a grade: it's here to help you notice patterns you missed in the moment.

Frequently asked

Can I save an older week?

Yes. Use the left arrow next to the date range to step back as far as you like. The week showing on screen is the week that gets saved.

Why does my summary say “no entries logged this week”?

The summary is built from saved diary cards. If a week has no saved cards, there's nothing for it to show. Save a card or two and it fills in.

Does Okaya email this to my therapist?

No. Okaya never sends the summary for you. You save the PDF, then upload it to your clinic’s secure portal if you want it shared.

Do I need a printer?

No. That's how your device makes a PDF. Choose the PDF option instead of a printer and nothing gets printed on paper.

How long is the PDF?

Usually two pages on letter-size paper. The app bar and the Save as PDF button are left out, so you only get the summary itself.

Can I bring it to my session on my phone instead?

Yes. Opening the weekly summary in Okaya works just as well. The PDF is for when you want a copy to keep, or to upload to your clinic's portal.
