Forget about automatic step counters. What matters here is what you actually do. Simple(Lite) isn't just another fitness tracker — it's a smart daily log for mindful people. You decide what to record: a walk with your dog, a day without sugar, a cycling session, or an important meeting you don't want to forget. Why manual tracking is a game-changer: Algorithms don't know when you've nailed it. But you do. By logging your activities manually, you sharpen your memory and build discipline. It helps you stay on top of your goals — and see the real picture of your life, not some averaged-out sensor data. Here's how it works: — Add any custom activity you like (even "House cleaning" or "Screen-free hour"). — Mark it done with a single tap. — View your stats in the calendar: see exactly what you did and how often — by week, month, or year. Perfect for: — Tracking recurring events (so you never double-book or repeat yourself). — Keeping tabs on personal habits — good or bad. — Building an archive of your achievements over weeks, months, or even years. Simple, lightweight, and completely private. Your data stays yours.
