Tags in the Oura App help you track how certain factors affect your Sleep, Readiness, and Activity Scores. While tags don't directly change your daily scores, you can observe how your habits, behavior, daily choices, and environment impact your biometrics by tagging and viewing these instances in your Trends charts.
The Oura App offers over 100 searchable tags, including alcohol, caffeine, fasting, headache, late meal, meditation, melatonin, nap, sauna, sick, stress, travel, and more. If we do not have the tag you are looking for, you can create your own custom tag.

How to Add and View Tags
- Open the Oura App
- Select the + icon in the bottom right corner of the Home tab
- Tap Add a tag
- Select one or more tags from the list
-
For each tag, set a start date and time. The start date and time should match the day and time the event that is being tagged begins. You can also add an end time or date, an optional comment, or set the tag as an event that occurs daily.
- Start time: The start time of a tag should reflect the start time and date of the event that is being captured with a tag. For example, if you add the tag, "magnesium," the start time is the time you took magnesium. If your bedroom felt hot last night and you wanted to tag "hot bedroom," you would tag the time you went to bed as that is the time the event of "hot bedroom" started
- End time: This is an optional field. End time should reflect the end time and date of the event being captured with a tag. Continuing with the "hot bedroom" example, the end time would be the time that your bedroom stopped feeling hot. Your end time can be more than 24 hours after the start time
- Occurring Daily: This is an optional toggle that can be used to capture an event occurring every day, at the same time. For example, if you take magnesium every evening at 8 pm, this toggle can be turned on to indicate the event occurs every day at 8 pm
- Tap Done to save the tag
You can view saved tags on the Home tab under Summary
Tags also appear on your Trends graphs.

in the upper left corner of the Home tab

How to Edit or Delete Tags
Any tag can be deleted at any time.
If the tag is from the current day:
- Scroll down the Home tab to view your tags underneath Summary
If the tag is from a previous day:
- Tap Today at the top of the Home tab
- Select the date your tag was added using the calendar
- Scroll to the bottom of the Home tab to view your tags underneath Summary
Tap the tag you'd like to edit or delete from the Summary card, then:
- Edit the start or end date, or
- Toggle "Daily at this time" on or off and tap Save, or
- Tap Delete tag entry to remove it
For repeating tags, you can edit the details (start date, end date, or comment) to just that day or from that day on. You can choose to delete a repeating tag for a specific date, from a specific date going forward, or all entries.
Custom Tags
You can also create your own custom tags.
- Select the icon in the bottom right corner of the Home tab
- Tap Add a tag
- Tap directly on + Create a tag under All tags, or type any copy in the Search bar and then tap on + Create a tag when the option appears
-
When the "Create a custom tag" pop-up window appears, type your preferred tag (maximum of 32 characters) and tap on Done
With custom tags, you can add the same information as is available to preset tags, such as date, start and end time, comments, and whether it occurs daily. Once a custom tag is added, it will appear in your tag list. A custom tag can also be edited and deleted at any time. To edit a custom tag, tap on the pencil icon next to the tag, adjust the copy as needed, and tap on Save. You can delete a custom tag in the "Tag details" menu, but that will delete the tag from your list and all your previous entries.
Smart Tags
On days when your Sleep Score is higher or lower than usual, Oura will suggest tags during your first morning sync on the Home card. You can choose from the suggested tags, or tap + More to choose from the full list of available tags. Selecting one or more tags and tapping Done will add the tag(s) to that day's summary. Smart tags are available only for active Gen3 members.
