Becord - The Next Generation of Recording Tool (get insight from AI!) I'm full of doubts about my life: I don't know how many glasses of water I drink a day and how many times I go to the restroom. I don't remember how often I get mouth ulcers and how often I argue with my family. Those things do happen, no matter how frequent it is-- multiple times a day, once in a few days or even once in months. In the past, some apps could record and analyze one specific thing (such as drinking water) but could not do anything else, and they were too complicated and heavy. Becord allows you to track every big and small things in your life. You can record them when they happen and check the frequency, statistical analysis and historical records, etc. "Multiple Tracking Item Types" Tracking everything in four different ways: Normal tracking, option tracking, numerical tracking and time range tracking. "Easy Recording" Simply tap the tracking item to complete a recording and customize gestures. "Block Diagram" Referring to the well-known "Commit Log" in the technology industry, we use small squares so you can intuitively view the frequency and the trend of incidents in the past month, quarter or even a year. "Data Chart" See different sides of things with pie charts, column charts, etc. At the same time, Becord also has basic self-cultivation in "making a trustworthy APP". "Super small memory usage" The size is only 2M, which is smaller than a picture. "Confidential" Becord does not send requests to any third-party servers except to iCloud, and Becord itself does not collect any data, all your data is kept locally and in your iCloud documents "No Ads" No advertisement is built in because Becord neither shares any data to third parties nor makes network requests outside of iCloud. "Manageable Data " You can import and export record source data anytime and anywhere. Your data only belong to yourself. Mouth ulcers used to trouble me a lot. I was wondering how often I had them and how long they would last. At the time there was no tool that allowed me to record it, and this is why I started to develop Becord.
