We’re working on a privacy-focused iOS app that enables you to track anything. It’s called Reflect. The app enables you to answer questions like “how does meditation affect my mood” or “how does this new supplement intervention affect my sleep”. We already support detailed visualization and correlation between all of the metrics you track and are working on some very exciting features to make self-guided discovery even easier.

Here is the link to the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reflect-track-anything/id64638...

I’m having trouble understanding how to use the app! I am overwhelmed by the amount of configuration, and not sure how I am supposed to actually add activities or diary entries, for example.

Thank you for saying so. We want to make this interface easier to get started with with something like an onboarding flow or the SwiftUI TipKit.

Without knowing exactly what you want to use the app for, I’ll link you to our help page with some tutorials: https://ntl.ai/reflect/support

Currently the flow to tracking is to create a form template (called a Reflection template) to track a category of metrics such as Mood. In that template you add metrics like Happiness, Fatigue, etc. Once the template is created you have a form available that you can fill out at your convenience. You can design another template like Supplements with metrics for specific dosages, for example. Your history can be visualized and those metrics can be correlated shortly after.

Every time you fill out an entry you have the option of adding notes, which can serve as a diary functionality. Those notes are searchable in your history.

Let us know any other feedback you have, we’d really like to make this as usable as possible.

Would you be open to having a call to chat about what you are looking for and your experience using the app?

Is something like the Reporter App?
