# Your first week

> Install the beta, choose what to track and log your first days.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the beta">
    Open the beta link we sent you on your Android phone and install VitaSync. Nothing is uploaded when you first open the app. Everything stays on your phone until you turn on cloud backup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what to track">
    Pick a few metrics to start. Three or four is plenty for the first week. Add or remove metrics later under Tracked metrics in the menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log today">
    Tap the plus button on Home and log one thing. A mood check-in takes a few seconds. Sleep, steps and resting heart rate can fill themselves in once you connect Health Connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Health Connect (optional)">
    Open the menu, then Integrations, then Connect Health Connect. Grant the data types you want. See [Health Connect](/help/health-connect).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on cloud backup when you are ready">
    After three logged days, Profile offers "Back up your data" under Finish setting up. Cloud backup is optional. See [Cloud backup](/help/cloud-backup).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What to expect

* Insights appear once you have logged two metrics on the same days for about three weeks.
* Nothing has to be logged every day. A day you skip stays blank. VitaSync never fills in a zero.
* Reinstalling? The first onboarding screen has a "Restore from backup" link. See [Restore on a new phone](/help/restore).
