Chronicling: Life Tracker2.1.2 - App Store

Keep track of anything you want to keep an eye on, from habits and chores to symptoms. Chronicling shows how long it's been, how often things happen, and which days and times they tend to happen.

Some things happen every day, like coffee, a walk or your medication. Others come and go: changing the bed sheets, a headache, calling home. Chronicling handles both, so it all lives in one place.

"If you're looking for a flexible approach to tracking events in your life and want to try an app with an excellent, modern design that supports the latest iOS and iPadOS technologies, be sure to give Chronicling a try." - MacStories

LOG IT IN A TAP
- Add events from your Apple Watch, widgets, Control Center, the Lock Screen, Siri and Shortcuts
- Record a number or a note too, such as cups, miles, pages or how you felt

SEE HOW OFTEN, AND WHEN
- Time since last logged, average gap and longest gap for every category
- Heatmaps, charts and trends over weeks, months and years
- Spot patterns by weekday and time of day

GENTLE REMINDERS
- Time Since Last Event: get a nudge when it's been too long since you last logged something, from a few hours to a few months
- Daily Goal: pick a time of day, and you'll only be notified if you haven't hit that day's goal
- Rolling Goal: aim for a number over the last few days or weeks, with a daily check that only notifies you if you're falling short

YOUR CATEGORIES, YOUR WAY

- Choose the period each category's stats cover
- Organize them into groups and filter by Focus

ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
