Create a Tracker

A Tracker is something you want to record, like your sleep or daily water intake. You can start with a template or create your own.

Create a Tracker

  1. Open Create Tracker

    Select Edit in the app navigation, then Create Tracker in the lower-right corner.

  2. Choose a starting point

    Choose Create custom Tracker to start from scratch, or use a template with suggested settings.

  3. Name your Tracker

    Give your Tracker a name, like "Sleep", "Gratitude" or "Meditation".

Choose a type

Choose a category, then the type of input you want to use.

Checkbox
Standard checkbox for checked or unchecked entries, or Three-state checkbox for Yes, Neutral, and No.
Number
Number input, Range slider, Percentage, or Number with unit.
Text
Short text, Long text, List / tags, or Time of day.
Selection
Single choice to pick one option, or Multiple choice to pick several. You add the options yourself.

Type settings

Some types have extra settings. You'll only see the ones for your chosen type.

Range slider

Set the minimum, maximum, and step size. The step is how much the value changes with each move. You can also label both ends of the scale.

Percentage

Set the step size for values between 0% and 100%.

Number with unit

Enter a unit, like "kg" or "hours". This type requires a unit.

Single or multiple choice

Add the options you want to choose from. You need at least one.

Stats and streaks

Choose which stats to show for your Tracker.

  • Use streak

    Count how many days in a row you meet your goal. What counts as success depends on the Tracker type: a checkbox state, a Yes/Neutral/No value, a number target, or whether you recorded an entry.

  • Show 30-day success percentage

    Show how often you met the Tracker's success rule during the last 30 days.

  • Show 30-day average

    Available for standard checkboxes, number types, and short or long text. Days without an entry can be ignored, counted as 0, or counted as 1.

Preview and finish

The preview shows what your Tracker will look like when you fill in today's entry. Check the input and settings, then select Add new Tracker.
