About

Pressure Log Tracker

Features
Read full description

Pressure Log Tracker is a focused local journal for barometric pressure readings you enter yourself. Build a clear pressure history without extra setup: save a value, keep its original unit, set the timestamp, and add optional notes for context. The dashboard charts saved manual entries across 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, and All scopes on one neutral hPa scale. Browse saved manual readings by calendar day, see the reading count for each saved date, or return to All days at any time. Empty selected days remain empty. History also keeps simple saved-entry comparisons without forecasts or sensor data. When you want your own copy, Settings can export timestamp, value, unit, and notes fields as a stable CSV through the system share sheet. Sharing moves a copy outside Pressure Log Tracker. Readings stay local to this device. No account is required.
