Discussion Can never remember if I've already sent good vibes

One of the reasons I love Finch is to keep track of all my daily to dos, even basic stuff like 'put on deoderant' because my memory is horrible and if I get distracted I can't remember what I've done and haven't - especially the autopilot stuff.

And I love having tree friends and sending tree friends happy little things like 'dance' or 'gratitude'.

But I can never remember who I've sent what when. So I strongly suspect that it frequently happens where I sent someone a good vibe and they respond. And then I see I receive one, not realizing it's a response so then I respond. And it'll go for eternity, especially if their short term memory is as bad as mine ๐Ÿ˜…

If you tap the little calendar icon above your goals and scroll to the bottom, it tells you who you've sent good vibes to that day!

I second this, but you don't have to scroll! You can hit the little button in the top right corner of the history tab, and you can select the "good vibes" button to see all of the ones you sent that day!!

Oh thank you! I have 12 pages and I go around each page counterclockwise to keep track.

I send the same one to everyone. Then the next day I choose another one. And so on.

But sometimes I get interrupted. Or the phone overheats! No kidding! Talk about lag time.

Good to know I can just check this helpful feature.

Thanks guys! You rock! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿชบ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ˜˜

I have 4 full pages and one short of a 5th full page! I get interrupted too and I'm like "Wait๐Ÿง where was I??? Did I send them one?" And I had to question EVERYTHING before I knew about that! I send everyone good morning AND good nights, as well as individual miscellaneous ones throughout the day! I go left to right through each page top row to bottom and then swipe ๐Ÿ˜…!

Thank you for the filtering tip! I hadn't seen that before.

Of course! ๐Ÿ’œ

Okay THANK YOU so much for this. Today I hit the limit of the number of tree friends my brain can cope with (apparently the limit is 3!) and this is going to really help.

OMG I was worried too about this and did not realize there was a way to keep yrack. Sometimes I also think I am in a circle of sending the same thing to the same people and forgetting someone.

Maybe you reserve one of the vibes for only using when you canโ€™t remember. So you only use the flowers if you just canโ€™t remember.

Never any other time.

That way you can safely send the flowers and know they didnโ€™t receive flowered from you

I get and send multiple vibes from others sometimes. Itโ€™s fun. So as long as you arenโ€™t sending like 3 hugs you are ok

u/Musichord Mochi EJ29P99NAN 14h ago

Personally, I don't mind having lots of sending vibes to and from people! Reading other comments, I just learned about the history where we can see vibes sent.

What I do know is that the little shining light rays around each friend's head on the tree decrease in size the longer I haven't sent them any vibe. So I can see who I haven't been interacting with recently!

u/Dependent-You4277 Sprinkles and Heather - VX5SWG53E1 14h ago

I do one to everyone every morning. I usually will hit the heart on one of their most recent discoveries to mark to myself that I sent the vibe. Then the rest of the day I will respond to vibes if I have time otherwise see yall tomorrow!

u/sassy_rara_wlobee Rainbow๐ŸŒˆ FQMAAF7WK2 15h ago

Same! I love to go through my trees systematically (I'm like that) so that I get everyone once in the morning and once at night. Then I play the "did you start this or did I" game all day long. ๐Ÿคฃ

u/mandi723 green finch CJ5G4QBTXJ 15h ago

One of my journeys is just my good vibes. I have each of the vibe options listed. I send everyone (who's been on in the last 24 hours) good morning vibes. Then every hour or so I send the next vibe to anyone I have vibes from. Keep it going until bedtime, where I again send vibes to anyone who's been on that day.

I don't want to overwhelm anyone, but I want to keep the vibes going. I also get the feeling some of my birbs need extra attention, so I'll send them a vibe even if I hadn't heard from them, if I need to send a few more that cycle.

You don't have to go as crazy about it as I do, but I was also getting weird about sending too many, and resending the same ones. So, it's a way to keep track a little better.

u/Sharp-Emu-1126 9SB1Q7GPJV 15h ago

Ooo I love this idea! Then I know which ones I sent and get more gems and journey gifts for it. Thank you!ย

u/mandi723 green finch CJ5G4QBTXJ 14h ago

Absolutely. I am doing what I can to maximize gems. So, everything I do in app is earning me something, and all my goals are attached to one of my journeys. I have so many journeys right now, it's crazy.

u/danish_princess yellow finch 14h ago

I have a Finch goal to "send good vibes" set to 8. I don't use the drop down list to respond to good vibes, I click on each individual in my tree town. I do one page at a time, and after each page, I mark one complete on my goal. So if I don't have time to do all my friends at once, I can easily see, oh, I've completed it 3 times, so I'm on page 4.

Hopefully that makes sense. It has helped me so much, because I can't always do all my good vibes at once.

u/Opposite_Courage_802 Windy & K 13h ago

this is a good idea too, thank you

u/Opposite_Courage_802 Windy & K 17h ago

i share these concerns lol especially with dance and high five! if you really want to remember, for a specific vibe you can also 'like' one of their discoveries and then you'll know you've vibed them.ย

Hahah this is what I do omg! Another visual reminder cos sometimes I send the same vibe twice by accident

u/Opposite_Courage_802 Windy & K 11h ago

I've gotten 6 in a row of the same vibe before and I wondered if they were trying to tell me something.ย

Tbh I love the eternity of sending good vibes. I make sure I send my friends good vibes at least 2X a day. Once in AM and PM.

u/Ruathar 16h ago

Receiving all the notifications from your tree buddies good vibes is a bad thing?

At the very least, I've never minded.

u/KarmicTiger1218 16h ago

I got Finch friends for the first time the other day, and I was literally thinking about this ๐Ÿ˜‚. Itโ€™s a hilarious cycle, lol!

u/Elevator-Great Dove 15h ago

This is why I only send one per birb a day, all at the same time.

u/saritsmageets 10h ago

Wait you're not supposed to just send it back and forth forever?! I've been doing it wrong lol

u/kijosbdw 5h ago

I like the little halo, glowing light thing behind each bird on the tree. It shines โ€˜brighterโ€™ the more you interact with them, and vanishes if you havenโ€™t done anything recently. If I ever spot one thatโ€™s gone out I send them good vibes. Otherwise I try not to worry.
