Track anything in your life — mood, sleep, water, symptoms, habits — and see it all on beautiful charts. Why I built ChartyBee: In 2024, when I became ill, I needed a way to track all the signals that mattered to my recovery: nutrition, sleep quality, stress levels, and various symptoms. Most tracking apps were rigid or locked into a single topic. I built ChartyBee so that anyone could easily track whatever matters most to them in one unified place and visualize trends clearly. PERFECT FOR: - Daily habits & routine planning (streaks, goals, consistency) - Health & symptom tracking (pain levels, fatigue, vitals, medications) - Mood & mental wellness journaling (1–10 happiness scale, stress, energy) - Sleep, hydration & wellness habits (cups of water, hours of rest, workouts) - Quantified self & personal analytics (expenses, daily metrics, timestamps) KEY FEATURES: - All Charts in One View: Your dashboard shows all your trackers side-by-side at a glance. - Flexible Data Types: Track with Numbers, Yes/No (Boolean), Number with Range (e.g., 1–10 scale), and Timestamps. - Rich Chart Visualizations: Choose from Line, Bar, Area, and Point charts to spot trends and patterns. - Smart Reminders: Customizable alerts ensure you never miss logging your daily data. - iPad & iCloud Sync: Seamlessly sync across your iPhone and iPad with Apple iCloud. Your data stays private and secure. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK WITH CHARTYBEE: - "How many cups of water did you drink today?" (Number) - "Did you have a good sleep last night?" (Yes/No) - "What was your pain or energy level today?" (1–10 Range) - "How would you rate your mood today?" (1–10 Range) - "Have you taken your vitamins today?" (Yes/No) - "How many pages or chapters did you read?" (Number) - "When did you take your medication or when did the bus arrive?" (Timestamp) Enjoying ChartyBee?
