Using Tags – Oura Help

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.

Tags are available for:

Gen2
Gen3 and Oura Ring 4 with active membership
iOS
Android

How to Add and View Tags

Open the Oura App
You can add a tag under the timeline on the Today tab, or by tapping the + icon in the bottom right corner
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 in your timeline.

Tags also appear on your Trends graphs.

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 Today tab to view your tags in your timeline

If the tag is from a previous day:

Tap View full timeline to see the calendar view
Swipe right on the calendar at the top of the screen and select the date you want to edit your tags

Tap the tag you'd like to edit or delete, 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 screen
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.

Custom tags will not appear in Oura on the Web.
