Ever heard of an app that projects 55% chance of an energy drink on Tuesday? That your mood will dip midweek? That you'll spend 9.6 years on your phone over the next few decades? MEET FORECASTYOU: Create habits and activities: the good habits you're building, the bad ones you're breaking, the obligations you can't avoid, or the things you do for fun. Create moods to capture the most niche mental states. Then ForecastYou takes everything you've logged and turns it into something most apps never show you: the future. HOW DOES IT WORK? We're not a mood ring. ForecastYou gives you in-depth, detailed breakdowns of every forecast projection, so that even the wrong predictions still describe something about you. But we can only show you the trends. You decide what the weather will be. The real point of ForecastYou is to beat the forecast, to exceed expectations, not just meet them. Our forecasts want to be wrong, if it means our users are making the most of their days! NO MORE DAILY SCREEN TIME TRACKERS. TRY 9.6 YEARS OVER THE NEXT DECADE ForecastYou isn't just interested in predicting the day to day. Our users want a forecast that shows them where they're headed, decades down the road. Every month, ForecastYou tallies up the total time spent on every activity and habit and projects those trends onto the scale of decades. Take the good with the bad. 10.4 years of screen time is something fixable, not anything predestined. Let the Climate Report be your wake up call to taking back your years! COMING FROM ANOTHER JOURNALING APP? No problem. ForecastYou allows users to import pdfs, .docx, .txt, .md, or rtf files, and rapidly create entries using imported text and dates. Users can configure keywords to rapidly log habits or activities or moods that appear within dated entries. Set up the rules, and let ForecastYou generate a brief history of you. That way, you can pick up right where you left off. YOUR JOURNAL NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE: Your journal is a file on your device. No sign-up, no login, all local data storage. Easily download or upload your journal to make the most of owning your data. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Free users get one habit and one activity, plus unlimited entries, daily and weekly forecasts, photos, to do lists, and reflections. ForecastYou Pro costs $15.99 annually and $59.99 for the lifetime, where users gain full access to the Climate Report, app theming, and unlimited customization and creation of moods, habits, and activities. TWO APPS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE: ForecastYou isn't just a place to track anything and forecast everything. Practically everything found in a standard journal app can be found here. Want to add photos? A daily reflection? A to do list for the day? Widgets to see your forecasted mood at a glance? Notifications to keep you mindful and focused on the now? ForecastYou does all of that and more. But ForecastYou isn't interested in becoming a checklist. Every day, log your moods and habits by comparing them to your forecast, not just marking them off a list. So, the question really is, can you beat your forecast? https://www.forecastyou.com/privacy
