Tracking app for daily events with ratings
June 6, 2024 11:10 AM
I would like to use an android app to record and track when I do certain things each day, multiple times per day, with a score each time. I don't know the right terms to search for.
I have half a dozen types of action/event that I want to keep track of. Each event has numerical level. Ideally I'd like to be able to open the app, quickly choose the category, click a button to choose the numerical score. Then the app would record the date, time, category, and score. Later I would like to see summaries by day - or just get the data out in some form.
For example if I were tracking each time I drank water, I'd choose "Water" as a category and then rate on a scale of 1-5 how thirsty I was when I decided to drink.
What types of apps should I be looking at?

Track & Graph is exactly what you are looking for. The interface isn't super intuitive but it works great and you can also put an entry widget on your home screen. Also available through fdroid.

I forgot to add: bonus features would be ability to use offline (while not internet connected) and possibility for another person to also track.

I think you're looking for a "habit tracker". Here's one group review that actually managed to identify strengths and weaknesses of each app. Although I'm not quite sure if one of those 7 apps they checked will let you rate EACH instance of you managing to do something.

Daylio is exactly what you want. You open it, log a score 1-5, and then select whichever self-determined categories/ actions you have input to the app. Ex. 7 am, score of 2/5, action “drank water”.
You’ll have to futz with it a little because it’s meant to be a mood tracker but it can absolutely do your use case.
