Arrange Quick Actions for Faster Logging
Put the fixed care actions you use most at the front of EchoMom's Quick log, and learn where to go when you actually want custom widget labels.

Know which kind of shortcut you are changing
EchoMom has two shortcut systems with different jobs. Quick log appears inside EchoMom on Home and Calendar. Its Quick Actions use fixed names and behavior. EchoMom Shortcuts is the iPhone and Android home-screen widget; its buttons can be renamed and given defaults.
- Use Quick Actions when you want to rearrange the care buttons inside EchoMom.
- Use Settings > App > Widget quick-log buttons when you want to customize the phone's home-screen widget.
- Do not look for a label editor in Quick Actions. There is not one.
Open the Quick Actions arranger
Your most-used actions should be visible before you are fully awake. EchoMom lets you keep up to nine in Quick log and leaves the rest under More.
- On Home or Calendar, expand Quick log if it is hidden.
- Long-press any Quick Action, or tap More and then Reorder quick actions.
- On the Quick actions screen, drag items between On your home screen and More actions.
- Drag the most common action toward the first position, then tap Save.
Choose actions for the care you are doing now
For early newborn nights, Nursing, Bottle, Sleep, and Diaper are often the highest-value actions because they answer the next handoff questions. As your child grows, Solids, Tummy time, Medicine, Playtime, or other actions may become more useful.
- Keep the four or five actions you use half-asleep near the front.
- Move occasional actions under More; they are still available.
- Review the order after a feeding change, nap transition, or new caregiver starts.
Use Quick log to protect the sleep record
Put Sleep near the front if you want useful sleep estimates. Tap it when sleep starts and tap End sleep when the child wakes. A missed end time can make the night look much longer than it was, so correct it in Calendar when needed.
What to remember
- Quick Actions are EchoMom's fixed care types, such as Sleep, Nursing, Bottle, and Diaper. You cannot rename them.
- You can choose which actions appear in Quick log and drag them into a better order.
- Custom labels and per-button defaults belong to Widget quick-log buttons in Settings, not Quick Actions.
