rTracker: Track It Your Way

Love how this app lets me make the tracker work for me. What I love most is my data isn't tracked by someone else. And who doesn't love opensource software!

Seriously, this has a ton of features and gives the user so much control. This developer restores my faith in humanity.

The biggest thing that sets this tracking app apart from the rest is that it allows you to completely customize what you track. Many of the other apps I tried often had a limited set of categories that I was interested in tracking, and their criteria or scales were off. Take "mood," for example: most apps put mood on a scale from "happy" to "depressed," but mood (at least my mood) is more complex than that (sometimes I feel "aloof" or "anxious"). With this app, I can set the values for my mood with criteria that match my idiosyncrasies. I also like that I can export to CSV (with no upgrade or pro account necessary), and I can then customize how my data is visualized. With this app, you own your data. I would give it five stars just for its feature set, but it has crashed a few times, usually when I do something like trying to slide a screen that doesn't slide. Also, I really don't like the lo-fi faux notebook rings on the main screen, though the graph paper background is apt. Overall, these are very minor issues. I highly recommend this app.
