About

Event Jar

Read full description

Event Jar is an event tracker that helps you to record any event you want: when you take a pill, drink water, work on something, or change the battery of the remote control. After adding a new event, choose a colour and an icon and you can start to record this event by just tapping on it! You can customise a lot of things with the settings: colour of button, layout (horizontal or vertical), design of buttons etc. You can set an alarm for a certain amount of time after the last recorded event or for when you want to remember, e.g. to take medicine. Stay tuned… more features will be available in the future.
