Android app to track arbitrary things throughout the day

December 21, 2021 6:14 AM

I'm starting to take a medication and would like to use my phone to log various things to see what effect it's having over time.

Some things are daily, like my weight in the morning. Others are more sporadic (experienced symptom X with severity on a scale of 1-5 at time N). I've got a handful of custom items I'd like to track and almost always have my phone within reach. I could create a web page to track these things, but figured there's something that probably already exists. Thanks!

I have found the Bearable app quite useful for tis, and fairly customizable too.

"Track & Graph" should fit your needs.

I use My Logs Pro for that. It not a terribly slick interface, but is very customizable and exports to csv among other formats.

Hmm. On checking that I got the name right, it appears that My Logs Pro isn't in the store any longer and the developer's last update was in 2016. I will be reading this thread with interest once it stops working.

Daylio, maybe?

Also, Google Fit and Samsung Health both have weight tracking abilities.

I use a Google Form to track things like this and it fills in a Google Sheet. You might have one for the daily things and another for the sporadic items.

I enjoyed KeepTrack.

I don't know if it's Android-compatible, but I used to work with the founder of Folia, and their app does this kind of thing.
