Can someone recommend an app for logging any kind of event and then getting some statistics out of it? Example events:
- Walked the dog.
- Drank a cup of coffee.
- Felt a sore knee.
- Used dental floss.
- Saw a full moon.
After logging events over a period of time the app should be able to answer questions like "How often do I feel a sore knee?".
I don't want to use Shortcuts, Airtable, or similar. I'm looking for an all-in-one solution. My backup plan is using a calendar.
I’ve tried or otherwise researched all the suggestions in this thread and none really seem to match my needs. Most of these suggestions are habit trackers, mood trackers, or somehow involve building something on top of other tools. Most interesting suggestion is exist.io. I need to take it for a swing but it seems more focused on correlating data sources than what I’m looking for.
Either there’s close to no audience for an app like this or there’s a hole in the market.
Made a mockup of the app I wish existed. Users can long press on an event to track it. Each event shows a summary of how often it occurs. Tapping the event shows details.
Some graphs are blurred because I got lazy and didn't want to draw all of them.
Some screens are missing, obviously, but this is the gist of it to me.
@simonbs Sounds a lot like Streaks?

@matthewskiles @simonbs Great guys... This is almost exactly what I wanted to build once 😅 (and still wants basically)
... but I thought it would be too simple and there is so many apps lika that already 🤷♂️

@simonbs I’ve been wanting something similar, only change from what I can see is that I wanted it to draw from HealthKit.
So, if I had some heartburn or something, I’d mark that it occurred as you have. Then, it would try and see if there were any similar patterns within my health data which may correlate to it, ex: You’ve drank X mg of caffeine each this has occured, or are Y food, etc.
@jordanmorgan @simonbs A HealthKit correlation app just launched. It doesn’t do data entry.

@simonbs Would be a great idea for a more feature rich journaling app. Current ones let you add videos/photos and some search, but haven't found any that also track repeat events or actions.
You'd also want it to be automatic, sometimes you don't know you're repeating things until after the fact, having to go back and edit would be a pain.
A job for AI?
@simonbs Kinda like what Apple has done with the photos. It'll show you memories from a certain time, or of certain people/pets.
All you need to do is take photos.
On this same topic. I've been looking for a digital assistant that is more pro-active than responsive. I started work on one a few years ago, but... other projects got in the way.
@simonbs not exactly what you need but if you use the calendar i have an app called Timeview which you can use to get statistics/data out of calendars.
You can filter by defining rules (e.g. all events from calendar xy which contain a note „bla“ and are on weekdays etc)

@platkus Thanks for your feedback! Having groups is definitely a popular feature request. I’m exploring some options there.
Actions are getting redesigned in the next version. It’s more of a container, so adding a note is done on the Event itself. You can use the History tab to quickly locate the last Event and tap it to add a note. However, I’ll definitely explore ways to make adding notes easier!
@simonbs you're in luck. Sort of. There's an amazing app called Reporter on iOS. It hasn't been updated in four years, but still works perfectly! I don't use it now but I was religiously using it for a few years.
It's actually very, very, good and *exactly* what you asked for.
Reporter is an application for tracking the things you care about. With a few randomly timed surveys each day, Reporter can illuminate aspects of your life that might be otherwise unmeasurable. *Step counting is available with iPhone 5s and later models **Stair counting is available with iPhone6 an…
@simonbs I recently came across DailyBean and it seemed pretty slick. It’s designed as a daily tracker, but it miiight just work since pretty sure it lets you make custom “event types” to record, though probably limited to a yes/no for each type per day. Not sure about reporting either
Edit: Saw Daylio mentioned too which seems like is same thing, so feel free to ignore!

@simonbs I’ve been meaning to look at Exist for similar (unrelated) statistics. It’s flexible and combines manual tracking with automated syncing from services (if you wish) and tries to help show context & trends from the data.
