About

Trace

Read full description

Trace brings daily logs, purposeful goals, and focused time into one calm personal system. RECORD WITHOUT PRESSURE Use Logs to capture facts that do not need a target—such as mood, sleep, weight, coffee, reading, or anything else you want to observe. Add quantities, notes, and images, then look back through a unified timeline. MOVE TARGETS FORWARD Use Targets for actions with plans and desired outcomes. Create repeat schedules, record progress, review completion and stability, and build a rhythm that works for you. UNDERSTAND YOUR FOCUS Start a focus session on its own or link it to a Log or Target. Review focus duration and trends by period, item, and category. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Explore weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics for activity, quantity, metrics, and focus. Trace helps you notice change without turning every part of life into a goal. STAY CLOSE TO TODAY Use local reminders and Home Screen widgets to see today’s priorities, check in quickly, and follow focus progress. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Trace works completely offline. No account is required. Your records, focus sessions, media, and preferences remain on your device. Export a local JSON backup whenever you choose. Trace is a personal tracking tool and does not provide medical advice.
