Ask HN: Apps to document my life?
I'm a data junkie. I like measuring stuff and analyzing it, but I've usually used paper/pen, or the odd text file here and there. I also recently got myself an iPhone 4, and it seems like a good device. I'm looking for suggestions on which app(s) to download so that I can log daily details about my life, and analyze them later (a data dump would be good) I'd soon like to be able to generate reports in the style of Nicholas Felton (http://feltron.com/); I don't even need them to be pretty, I'd just really like to see key areas and see how I can become a less stressed, more productive person. Any suggestions/tips? Do any of you do stuff like this?
- threepointone 16y agoclickable link to Nicholas Felton's site - http://feltron.com/ http://feltron.com/
- evo_9 16y agohow about http://ohlife.com/ http://ohlife.com/? I really dig their unique/creative email data submission tweak. Great idea.
- threepointone 16y agoI tried ohlife for a while. It's good as a diary, no doubt. I'm looking more at analyzing miles walked, food eaten, words typed, time slept, etc. I figured a device such as the iPhone would make things easier.

- bobds 16y agoFelton made it already: http://daytum.com/ http://daytum.com/
- threepointone 16y agoI'm trying it out. Looking forward to it. It's a little barebones, and I was hoping it'd take mroe advantage of the phone. I'll report back when I've used it for a while.
- Serene 16y agoFelton generates these reports with daytum available for iphone: http://www.apple.com/webapps/utilities/daytum.html http://www.apple.com/webapps/utilities/daytum.html see http://home.comcast.net/~aurametrix/site/?/page/Health_2.0/ http://home.comcast.net/~aurametrix/site/?/page/Health_2.0/ for more gadgets
- threepointone 16y agogracias, I made myself an account, and am trying out the mobile version.
- threepointone 16y agoFYI: I also just discovered that Felton is making an iPhone app. I look forward to it. http://daytum.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/backend-upgrade/ http://daytum.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/backend-upgrade/
- lancer 16y agoI use http://dailydiary.com http://dailydiary.com. It uses email to help you keep track of personal metrics (either numeric or free-form text). It doesn't have a native iPhone app though (yet).
