Stop wondering, “Did I do that?” Trackalot is an outboard memory for the small, repeatable events life makes easy to forget. Log the moment you take medication, feed the dog, drink water, finish a workout, complete a chore, notice a symptom, or do anything else worth remembering. One tap creates a timestamped record, so the answer is waiting when your memory isn’t. Capture it in the moment Start quickly with an editable Health, Habits, or Pets TrackPack, or create folders and trackers from scratch. Tap to log instantly. Touch and hold to add an optional note or change the timestamp, or set a tracker to always open its optional note field on in-app taps. Swipe right to edit a tracker, swipe left to open its report, or shake your iPhone to undo the latest tap. Choose how trackers are arranged in All Folders and in each individual folder: alphabetical A–Z or Z–A, newest or oldest recent activity first, or your own Custom order. Set a separate order for Apple Watch from iPhone Settings. Turn taps into insight Review one tracker, one folder, or everything together. Switch between rolling 1-day, 7-day, 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year views. Follow charts, totals, today and this week counts, streaks, and chronological history. Edit or delete individual entries whenever you need to correct the record. Log from wherever you are Add a one-tap Home Screen widget or log from Apple Watch with the companion app and complication. Ask Siri or use Shortcuts to log a chosen tracker or open Trackalot from your own automations. Folder names appear in widget selection and on the widget itself, while the Watch groups trackers by folder. Hide trackers you do not need on your wrist to keep the list focused. Built to prevent mistakes Velocity Check helps block accidental repeat taps across iPhone, Home Screen widgets, and Apple Watch. It is on by default, uses a separate cooldown for each tracker, and can be set from 1 to 60 seconds or turned off. Optional Count Warnings help with habit building or reduction without blocking a log. Set a maximum for custom rolling hours, rolling 24 hours, or a calendar day, week, or month. Trackalot warns as you approach the maximum, at the limit, and on every tap beyond it across iPhone, widgets, Apple Watch, and Shortcuts. Automatic backups target a four-hour schedule. Trackalot uses iCloud when available, falls back to local storage when needed, keeps the newest 100 backups, and can offer to restore your history when an empty reinstall finds a previous backup. Your data, your way Export the report you are viewing as CSV or a print-ready PDF. Export your complete archive as CSV or JSON, send an individual tracker’s entries to Calendar, or create and restore backups manually whenever you choose. No account. No ads. No subscription. No user tracking. Trackalot includes: - Fast one-tap timestamped logging - Optional notes and custom timestamps - Editable Health, Habits, and Pets TrackPacks - Folders and folder-aware tracker labels - Global, per-folder, and Apple Watch sorting - Optional per-tracker Count Warnings - Individual, folder, and all-tracker reports - Rolling views from 1 day to 1 year - Charts, totals, streaks, and editable history - Home Screen widgets and Apple Watch logging - Siri and Shortcuts actions - Adjustable duplicate-tap protection - Shake to undo the latest tap - Automatic and manual backup and restore - CSV, JSON, PDF, print, and Calendar export - Light, dark, and system appearance - Optional haptics and sounds For habits, routines, symptoms, medication, pet care, focus sessions, meals, hydration, chores, workouts, mood checks, or your own completely specific thing: if it happens repeatedly and you want to remember it, Trackalot is ready to tap.

ThreadMapper shows what your Thread smart home says about itself. Most Thread devices are invisible. They just work, until they don't, and there's no way to tell which one dropped, which border routers you really have, or whether a quiet sensor is asleep or gone. WHAT YOU GET • Network health at a glance: an A–F grade with a clear score, and the specific issues pulling it down • Better than yesterday? A line under the grade saying whether today is up or down on yesterday, and which rule moved it • Every battery in one list, emptiest first, with the room • Your Thread devices, apart from the rest: the ones that say they are on Thread, and every other accessory labelled for what it is, behind a bridge or not yet known • Mesh map: your Thread devices by room, and the links they report • Offline alerts that respect quiet: a sleepy sensor gets two hours before it is called offline, and devices that go quiet together are one event • Device history: uptime, reboots and firmware changes • Apple Watch app: your grade on your wrist • Home-screen widget and Live Activity for at-a-glance status HONEST ABOUT ITS DATA ThreadMapper shows only what a device or the network states. A device is Thread when it says so. A border router is one the network proves. A line on the map is a link a device reported. iOS doesn't expose radio signal strength for Thread accessories, so there is no signal figure: a device's page shows how quickly it answered, in milliseconds. The battery level is what each accessory reports about itself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone, and the AI features run on device. Your network data is never uploaded. THREADMAPPER PRO: a one-time purchase, not a subscription • AI Insights on any iPhone, and with Apple Intelligence a Network Assistant and a troubleshooter that reads this device's history, all on device • What the radios say: why a device rebooted, how often it changed parent router, how often a battery device wakes, and how many apps and households can still control it • AR room mapping and X-Ray: scan rooms into a floor plan, place each device where it really is, and see the links your devices report drawn through your real home • Your year on one card, your mesh as a film, and as an A2 poster a print shop will take • A year of daily grades on one calendar, no Apple Intelligence needed, a month of history, weekly reports, and when your home is at its worst • Export every health sample, daily grade and battery reading as CSV or JSON, and import them on a new iPhone • Jobs and evidence sheets: a page for a client showing what a visit changed, and a page per device for a warranty claim • Device groups, multiple homes, scheduled reports and a pinned-devices widget REQUIREMENTS ThreadMapper reads your network through HomeKit, so you'll need a home with at least one Thread border router, such as a HomePod mini or an Apple TV 4K. Border routers are found through Local Network access. The Network Assistant and the troubleshooter need iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable device; AI Insights works on any iPhone. Room scanning needs a Pro-model iPhone with a LiDAR scanner. Want to look around first? Turn on Demo Mode to explore the whole app with a simulated network, no hardware needed.
