TrackLab

Find out what actually works for you.

Log what you do, run experiments on yourself, and see in numbers whether a change made any difference. Works completely offline — no account, no sign-up, nothing leaves your phone.

Android 8+. Not on Google Play (see install notes below). A version you can run in the browser is coming.

How it works

  1. Log activities. What you did, optionally with time, tags, items and your own metrics — mood, energy, weight, pages read, anything you define.
  2. Set rules. “Reading at least 15 minutes a day.” “No coffee.” “Pull-ups at least 3 times a week.” TrackLab tracks each rule’s uptime and your current streak.
  3. Run an experiment. Pick a period, decide what you’re changing and what you’ll measure, then read the before-and-after when it ends.

The loop is measure → learn → decide. Not “log your time” for its own sake.

Experiments — the part that makes it a lab

Most trackers can tell you what you did. TrackLab is built to answer whether it helped.

An experiment ties three things together: the behaviour you’re changing, the rules that keep you honest about it, and the metric you’re watching. At the end you get a before/after on that metric instead of a feeling.

Your data stays on your device

  • No account, no sign-up, no server, no ads, no trackers, no analytics.
  • Everything lives in a local database on your phone.
  • Password-protected backups and automatic backups, restore whenever you want.

This isn’t a privacy setting you switch on. The app has nowhere to send anything.

It also means I can’t see who uses TrackLab or how — which is why the request at the bottom of this page is genuine.

Screenshots

Install on Android

  1. Download the APK above.
  2. Open it. Android will ask whether to allow installing from an unknown source — allow it. You’ll see that warning for any app that isn’t from the Play Store.
  3. Open the app. There’s nothing to set up and no account to make; a short guide is offered on first launch, and it lives in Settings → Help → User Guide.

I’d like to hear from you

I’ve built TrackLab alone for eleven months, and because it collects nothing, I have no idea who’s using it or whether they got anywhere with it.

So anything you send is useful: a bug, a feature you expected and couldn’t find, what you tracked, or “I installed it, opened it twice and gave up” — that last one most of all.
