Trackr is the journal that adapts to you. Most tracking apps make you fit your life into their categories. Trackr does the opposite โ€” you build the tracker. Pick the fields you want, log them in seconds, and watch the charts tell the story. โ€” BUILD ANY TRACKER โ€” Start from a template or design your own. Combine 9 typed field controls in any order: โ€ข Short text & long text โ€ข Numbers (with units like reps, kg, $) and sliders โ€ข Single-select & multi-select chips โ€ข Photos โ€ข Yes/no toggles โ€ข Dates Drag to reorder. Mark fields required. Add a custom icon and color. โ€” LOG IN SECONDS โ€” Every tracker has a clean fill form. No menus, no friction. Reminders bring you back at the right time โ€” pick days and times, or write your own cron expression for power-user schedules. โ€” SEE PATTERNS โ€” Every tracker gets its own dashboard with rich Swift Charts: โ€ข Line charts over time, by week, month, or year โ€ข Streak rings โ€ข Heatmaps showing logging consistency โ€ข Tag breakdowns for multi-select fields โ€ข Highlights and per-entry scrolling โ€” AI WEEKLY SUMMARIES (Pro) โ€” Turn on AI summary for any tracker and get a short narrative every week that finds patterns, calls out streaks, and points to what's changing. Runs on Google Cloud Vertex AI. Identifiers stripped before sending. Photos never leave your device. โ€” LOCAL-FIRST, CLOUD-SYNCED โ€” Your data lives on your device first. Sign in to sync across iPhones โ€” your trackers, entries, and photos travel with you. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. โ€” PRIVACY THAT MEANS IT โ€” โ€ข No ads, no third-party analytics, no IDFA. โ€ข No location, contacts, or calendar access requested. โ€ข Per-user security rules: only you can read or write your data. โ€ข Your content is never used to train AI models. โ€ข AI summaries are opt-in per tracker โ€” turn off anytime. โ€” FREE & PRO โ€” Free includes one tracker, 30 days of history, and the full builder. Trackr Pro unlocks: โ€ข Unlimited trackers โ€ข AI weekly summaries โ€ข Photo attachments โ€ข Full history (no 30-day cap) โ€ข Smart reminders with custom schedules โ€ข Advanced charts Trackr Pro is $5.99/month or $39.99/year (save 44%) with a 7-day free trial on annual.

Turn your phone over. The time is yours. Pausean is a focus timer that starts when you put your phone down. Set your minutes on the dial, lay your phone face down, and your time begins. Every quiet stretch becomes a stone in your bowl. A GENTLE START - Tap once to get ready, then turn your phone over. Your time starts the moment it lies face down. - In the first seconds you feel three slow breaths as soft vibrations. No need to look. - The dial clicks into place minute by minute and shows which stone you will receive. NO PRESSURE, NO GUILT - Picking your phone up briefly is fine. Your time keeps running for 60 seconds. - Jokers let you pause a session when something comes up. - No streaks, no red days. An empty day simply stays empty. YOUR BOWL - Each duration forms its own kind of stone. - Each month gets its own bowl. With Pro, past bowls stay on your shelf. - Older stones gather dust over time. Rub them with your finger and they shine again. - Press and hold a stone to see what you can do with it. BREATHE - Guided breathing has its own tab. Arriving and Letting go are free for everyone. - Every exercise leaves a piece of sea glass in your bowl. - Feel the breath (Pro): soft vibrations guide you, so you can close your eyes. AUTUMN STONES Until November 29, every session forms one of four autumn stones: chestnut, leaf print, pumpkin stone and honey stone. The pumpkin stone is free for everyone this season. SHARE YOUR CALM Share a session, a single stone, your week or your month as a quiet image. PAUSEAN PRO - Pocket mode: sessions also run while your phone is put away - All breathing exercises and Feel the breath - History as a week and month calendar, plus statistics - Past bowls on your shelf - All seasonal stones and stone sets - More jokers per day Pausean Pro is available as a subscription or as a one-time purchase.
