   The total number of steps in neat, but I'm more interested in seeing how often and how long I move (or don't move). I consider 20,000 steps followed by 6 hours of non-stop slouching in front of the computer less ideal than just 10,000 steps

    https://zenobase.com/ is another, new self-tracking service. It's quite generic, so not as user-friendly or convenient as more specialized tracking services can be, but it's more flexible, and is an improvement over a plain spreadsheet (o
