Use Case: Custom Tracking

For you if: You want to track your own categories that no standard tool covers – or if you want full control over your configuration.

Time required: 30–60 minutes to set up (depending on complexity)


What You Can Track

The app intentionally has no fixed focus. Anything that can be described as an event with a timestamp and a value can be tracked:

Examples:
  Work:        Concentration (1–10), hours of focused work
  Sport:       Type of training, intensity, duration
  Environment: Noise level (light/moderate/heavy)
  Social:      Social energy, interactions (drained β†’ recharged)
  Creativity:  Productivity, flow state
  Home:        Bedroom temperature, humidity

Learning Path: Custom Tracker in 4 Steps

Step 1: Think Through the Concept (10 minutes)

Before you start configuring, clarify:

What do I want to measure? - Be specific: β€œLower back pain intensity” rather than just β€œpain”

Which data type fits?

Type When to use Example
Scale (text) Subjective assessments mild / moderate / severe
Integer Countable values number of coffees, sleep hours
Decimal Measurable quantities body weight, blood pressure
Free text Notes, descriptions dreams, thoughts

What do the values mean? Should the analysis know whether a higher value is β€œbetter” or β€œworse”? - Pain scale: higher = worse β†’ define a normal range - Sleep hours: 7–9 hours = optimal β†’ normal range from 7 to 9

Step 2: Create Parameters (15–20 minutes)

Quick guide: 1. β€ΉSettingsβ€Ί Settings β†’ β€ΉParameterβ€Ί Parameters β†’ β€Ή+β€Ί (Plus) 2. Choose icon, enter name, select type 3. Optionally: set value range and rating scheme 4. Choose UI control and test in live preview 5. Tap β€œDone”

Step 3: Group Parameters (optional, 10 minutes)

If you want to record multiple related parameters at once:

β†’ Instructions: Parameter groups

Example blood pressure group:

Group "Blood Pressure"
  β”œβ”€β”€ Systolic  (Integer, 60–200)
  β”œβ”€β”€ Diastolic (Integer, 40–130)
  └── Pulse     (Integer, 40–200)

β†’ One tap = enter all three values simultaneously

Step 4: Design the Dashboard (10 minutes)

β†’ Instructions: Set up a dashboard

Recommendation for custom trackers: - Frequently used parameters: large tiles at the top - Rarely used: small tiles below or a second dashboard - Multiple dashboards for different contexts (morning, evening, sport)

Advanced Concepts

Understanding the Rating Scheme

The app can detect possible correlations between parameters. A meaningful rating of values is required:

Rating scale: -100% (bad/red) β†’ 0% (neutral/yellow) β†’ +100% (good/green)

Sleep example:
  < 5 hours  β†’ red (-100%)
  5–6 hours  β†’ orange (-50%)
  7–9 hours  β†’ green (+100%)
  > 9 hours  β†’ yellow (0%)  ← too much sleep is neutral, not positive

πŸ’‘ Ratings can be changed at any time afterwards. Only the interpretation changes – raw data is always preserved.

Sections in Parameter Groups

For complex groups you can visually divide parameters into sections:

Group "Morning Check-in"
  ── BODY ──
  Sleep quality | Energy | Pain
  ── MIND ──
  Mood | Stress | Motivation

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rename parameters later? Yes. Renaming only changes the name, not the stored events.

What happens to old data if I change the value range? The events remain unchanged. Only the analysis/rating is recalculated.

Can I delete parameters? Yes, but all associated event data will be lost. Better to deactivate than delete.
