Description
Log habits, chores and symptoms the moment they happen. Chronicling shows you how often, what time of day and how long it's been, with no streaks to protect and no guilt when life gets in the way.
Some things happen every day, like coffee, a walk or your medication. Others come and go: changing the bed sheets, a headache, calling home. Chronicling handles both, so everything you want to keep an eye on lives in one place.
Log it in a tap
- Add events from widgets, Control Center, the Lock Screen, Siri and Shortcuts
- Record a number or a note too, such as cups, kilometers, pages or how you felt

See how often, and when

Gentle reminders

- No streaks, ever. Miss a day and nothing breaks
Your categories, your way
- Create your own categories with emoji or symbols and your own colors
- Organize them into groups and filter by Focus
- Choose the period each category's stats cover

"If you're looking for a flexible approach to tracking events in your life and want to try an app with an excellent, modern design that supports the latest iOS and iPadOS technologies, be sure to give Chronicling a try." - MacStories
