Rach Smith's Notes & Nuggets

Chronicling

note : computering / apps Added January 29, 2024

I wouldn't really call it a goal for the year, because it is too vague, but I had set an intention for 2024 that I would spend more of my free time in creative practice - whether that be writing, lettering, drawing, creative coding or [[Roland F701|piano]].

I figured I should probably keep track of when I followed through on my intention, and I was doing so in my [[Hobonichi Techo Cousin|planner]], but I was looking for a digital format to store the data as well.

Enter Chronicling: iOS an app to track anything. I've been keeping track of all my creative practice, my exercise, when we go out to the park or the beach etc. and whenever I get stuck in a scrolling session/YouTube wormhole.

I thought I'd share the app with you because it is really well designed, has a great watch app, and iPhone widgets. It is especially impressive as this is the first app from the developer, Rebecca Owen.

Thanks for reading! If you'd like to share your thoughts you can reply by email or hit me up on Mastodon or Bluesky.

    Thanks Rach for mentioning this great looking app!

    I've been looking for a good tool for a long time now to track activities that I want to do more often.

    Have you created shortcuts for some activities so that they are entered automatically, or do you add each entry manually? If so, how do you manage to enter the activities reliably?
