Fast and easy tracking just the way you want, with features you'll grow into - including reading Apple Health data and workouts. rTracker is totally free and open source. No ads, no in-app upgrades, just track what you want. Create your own trackers for physique, mood, mileage, sleep quality, eating, shopping, exercise, job hours, patient progress, questionnaires - whatever you like! Each tracker can include multiple values - numbers, searchable notes, sliders, choice buttons, checkboxes - as well as functions on the values and over time. Make a sleep tracker with things you care about - like diet, exercise or medication - and see how they correlate with measured sleep data from Apple Health. Share trackers (data optional) with friends -- compete, compare progress, or use as a distributed questionnaire. Set reminders for your trackers with specific times and days, trigger after a delay from the last save, or randomly over a time window. Motivate yourself to exercise, remind to take your medication, or build a picture of your mood throughout the day. Use the new Charts to analyze your data, or turn your iPhone sideways to graph your tracks; edit past datapoints within rTracker and export to CSV files for deeper analysis as a spreadsheet. Import CSV files with your historical data, configure trackers with CSV files, and get pre-made trackers from https://janerob.com/rTracker/rTracker/iPhone/pages/rTracker-main.html. Want to track your bank balance, habits, moods or something else that's private? rTracker supports hiding individual values or entire trackers with multiple levels of privacy, and there's no central server so everything stays with you. Designed for fast data input and total flexibility, rTracker is the one tracker for you.
