Hindsight - Time Tracker

A++ An app that does one thing and does it very well. Responsive developer. When my doctor asks when my last flu shot was, or my last migraine, are my evening meds overdue? Did I forget to take my morning meds? Have I changed my toothbrush head or contact lenses too long ago? When was my last furnace checkup? Etc, etc, it’s all there in Hindsight. Once I discovered Shortcuts can be created to log an instance of an event, I created a bunch. I now track more things, more consistently. Supercharge Hindsight with Shortcuts to log an instance of multiple things chosen from a menu. I can log my dog’s meds, breakfast, and potty visits all at once. I want to track these things individually, but I don’t want to have to log them individually. CSV export and import make for easy backups and data restore/update or add entries in bulk.

I’ve discovered a new benefit. I’ve been keeping birthdays in the app for a long time. Recently I started adding as an occurrence in the birthday category the death date of those who have passed away. Now it’s easy to view the item for the individual, tap on the “History” button, and the birth date and the death date occurrences appear. In between them is the age of the individual when he/she passed away. Very convenient! Being over 80 years old, I use this app for some trivial things and some not so trivial. I have a Birthday category for all the family members. I record things such as fingernail trimming, major purchases, operations, medical recurring events, when new tires were bought, etc., etc. I find it fascinating to look back to see how much time has passed since something interesting, unusual, or important occurred. Get the app. You will be glad you did.

Great app but unable to add an event, please advise.

This is an amazing app at a give away price! The developer is responsive and helpful. Def recommending this to anyone reading this.

I use this app a ton & mostly love it, but it seems like over the past month or so (maybe more or less I forgot when it started) I get alarm alerts for things being overdue when they’re not & it’s happening more & more frequently. Also when I look at the main list / overview, it won’t show the correct time that has elapsed unless I go into the individual event & sit there a minute, then it will eventually update to show the occurrence it wasn’t displaying. It’s very weird & annoying. I’ll keep using the app but like, I’m using this app so I don’t need to rely on my memory, so having to roughly remember times of things so I’ll know if the app is wrong or not is kind of defeating the purpose a bit. Hopefully whatever it is gets fixed bc this app used to be great.

I’ve been using this for the last 6 months. I really like its simplicity. That said, there are some features I wish it had like being able to pause or hide items, charting/organizing tracked info and being able to see notes more easily. I rely on this app more than I should, especially since some reviewers have noted that their tracked info has been erased with app updates. Still, when my daughter asked what app I used to remember things (we both have ADHD), I paid for her to dl the app onto her phone, too. I am going to keep using it and see if I can come up with some tricks to better manipulate my data. I’m hoping the dev continues to read reviews, debug and add requested features to this app because it is very useful.

So grateful you made this app thank you it helps me immensely!

I used the app for a couple years, and enjoyed the functionality. But, as several other reviewers have commented, a recent update wiped out all of my data. I used it to track some important things in my life, and so losing the data is tragic. I’ve never had this happen with any other app. It’s hard to believe that the developers rolled out updates that delete all of the user’s data. This is a huge oversight in QA testing, and I’ve lost all confidence in the app and it’s developers. Based on dates of comments from other reviewers it has been an issue for several months, and the developers have failed to rollout an update to prevent this issue from happening. So, if you choose to use this app just remember you could lose all your data at any time. I for one will be finding a more reliable app to use.

Hello, could you add the ability for one to choose more colors than are available? You could integrate the default iOS color swatch picker. It would also be cool to see if we could change the accent color of the app. Thanks!

Returned me a sense of control. Keeps getting better.
