See which parts of Yardmaster you use
The UI Usage report lists the buttons and sidebar pages you use and the ones you have never touched. It is kept on this computer only.
Yardmaster keeps a private tally of which buttons, menus and sidebar pages you use. The UI Usage report turns it into two lists, used and never used, so you can see what is worth keeping and what is only clutter.
Read the report#
Open Settings > Diagnostics. The Health tab opens.
Scroll to the UI Usage card.
Pick a period: Last 24h, 7 days, 30 days or All time.
The card has two groups, Controls (buttons, menus, switches, tabs) and Integrations (sidebar pages such as Gmail or Stats). Each has a Used list, most used first with a count, and a Never used list in alphabetical order. A small phone and computer count under Used shows where you used them.
Why "Never used" is long at first#
Everything counts as unused until you click it once, so on day one "Never used" is long. As you work, items move to Used. "Never used" under Last 24h only means not today; under All time it means never since Tracking since (the date on the card).
Things you cannot reach are left out of "Never used": an integration you turned off, a control for another operating system, and a control for a Preview feature you have not switched on.
Is my usage sent anywhere?#
No. The UI Usage records stay in Yardmaster's database on this computer. Each record says which named control or page it was, when, and whether it was on a phone or a computer (and, for a sidebar page, how long it stayed open). Nothing you typed, no file names, no project names. Records older than a year are deleted, and only the newest 100,000 are kept.
Turn tracking off#
The switch is on at first. Turn it off and Yardmaster stops recording; what it already recorded stays until it ages out.
Let Yardmaster hide what you never use#
A separate switch (off at first) lets Yardmaster move sidebar pages and toolbar buttons you have not opened in 30 days into a quiet corner, without deleting anything. See Auto-Tidy.
Flow, the card below UI Usage, shows what you tend to do right after a given control. It is built from the same records and also stays on this computer.
The switch's own description says click counts "also ride the daily diagnostics digest". That digest no longer exists in this version, so nothing from this report is sent.
