Basic Logs makes it quick and easy to track anything of interest to you. From food diaries to habit streaks to budgeting to time spent on activities. Simply create a log, add entries, and get insights with just a few taps. • Text, numbers, currencies, durations, notes, tags, flags. Use one or all of them. No setup required. • Browse entries in a list, visualize them in a calendar, or analyze them with charts and statistics. • Track hours and minutes, or whole days. • Flag entries of significance, tag entries to categorize them. • Add similar entries again with a quick swipe. • Easily search and filter entries and get all information of a particular moment. • Shortcuts! Automatically add an entry whenever you arrive at a location, tap an NFC tag, or complete a task in another app. The possibilities are endless. • Share logs and collaborate with friends and family. • No account creation. All data is stored locally on your device and, optionally, in your iCloud. And this is just the beginning. Basic Logs will only become richer in functionality while remaining simple and easy to use.
