Trackr puts the apps you'd download one at a time — for lifting, calories, blood pressure, mood, sleep and habits — on one Home screen, with one account and one weekly read of how it all connects. — SIX TRACKERS, EACH BUILT FOR THE JOB — WORKOUTS • Start from a plan built around your goal, days and equipment, or make your own • Last time's weights and reps are waiting for every set • A rest timer that starts after each set, with controls on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Personal records, estimated one-rep max and medals • Sets per muscle each week, and a body map of what you've trained • 870+ exercises, plus your own • Your year in workouts, as a story you can share MEALS & CALORIES • Search a food database or scan a barcode • Snap your plate and AI suggests the foods and portions; you check them before anything is logged (Pro) • A calorie goal from a few questions, with macros • Workouts add back the calories they burn, including Apple Watch workouts from Apple Health HEALTH & WELLNESS • Weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate, blood oxygen and blood sugar • Connect Apple Health and readings from your scale, cuff or watch arrive on their own. Trackr only reads from Health; it never writes to it. • Medications with reminders: mark them taken, skip, or get reminded again in 10 minutes. Names can stay off your Lock Screen. MOOD • A mood in two taps, then the feelings and what you were doing • See which activities go with your better days • A year of moods in one mosaic (Pro) SLEEP • Tap when you go to bed and when you get up, right from the Lock Screen • Log wake-ups in the night without unlocking your phone • See your schedule against the bedtime you aim for, and how well you slept HABITS • Count it, time it or tick it off: every day, on chosen days, or a few times a week or month • Streaks you can see, and reminders that skip the days you've already done it — BUILD YOUR OWN — A symptom, a budget, a reading list: make a tracker from text, numbers, sliders, yes/no toggles, choices, dates and photos, and Trackr draws the charts. Every tracker has its own charts, from a week to all time. Set reminders for the days and times you want. — YOUR WEEKLY REPORT (PRO) — Every week and month, Trackr reads the trackers you choose and writes what changed, what goes together, like sleep and mood or workouts and calories, and one thing to try next. • You choose which trackers it reads. Health readings are only included after you say yes. • Notes, photos and medication names are never sent. • Written with Google's Gemini models. Google doesn't use your data to train them. AI can get things wrong, and the report isn't medical advice. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — • No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold • Works offline and syncs to your private account across devices • Sign in with Apple, Google or email • Export everything as a CSV file, any time, on any plan — FREE AND PRO — Free includes all six built-in trackers, one custom tracker, two habits, charts, streaks, reminders, Apple Health import and your last 30 days of history. Trackr Pro adds the weekly and monthly AI report, meal photo scanning, unlimited custom trackers and habits, your whole history, photos on your entries and the mood mosaic. History older than 30 days is hidden on Free, never deleted. Trackr Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
