Chronicling Reviews

Uninstalled as quickly as I opened Chronicling and clearly it is not free...limited functionality unless you paid with your first born. :(

Currently a tusing the free version ang d have been for a few weeks now. I am using to track an as-needed medication that is time-sensitive (lasts about 5 hours) but doesn’t require to be taken at specific times that may require reminders. I found the Apple native Health app to do what I wanted as well, but it was far too cumbersome. I wanted to be able to pinpoint if it was taken and the time it was taken and Chronicling does that very effectively!
It’s also very easy to record information; all I do is: add an event, edit timestamp, done!
I am considering subscribing to the premium version, which is 99¢/month. A nominal fee for very effective management of life’s data points.

Chronicling now is worthless. After the update it got rid of the number of days prior to 2024
Chronicling is now completely useless to me

Not a fan of task apps asking me to pay when I’m trying to catch up with tasks that I’ve put off due to depression.

I love using Chronicling to keep track of everyday things. It was working great until about a week ago, now it will not let me log any past tasks that I may have forgotten to put in. It only logs current tasks which is very frustrating. Please fix this issue

Incredible UI. Would be great if you can add reminders as notifications. Like everyday at 8pm you get a notification to check your habits. Sometimes I forget to put them on a day that I’m busy

love Chronicling have set up siri shortcuts to use it without having to open it. love it

Real time journaling and mood prompts overwhelm me. this app lets me tap to note what I was doing and I can reflect later—if I want.

Title self-explanatory. As simple as simple gets. No unnecessary bells and whistles to bloat the experience. Graphs make it easy to see progress or lack thereof. Good job.

I really like Chronicling, I’ve tried a few different trackers and this one is much more chill and feels inviting to use.

Two suggestions:
1. Allow for a mode that removes time and just uses the date for tracking an item
2. Allow for half completions

I’m using the free tier (just 3 trackers) and it’s very functional for my needs. Should I need more the pricing is fair for the upgrade.

I would never usually spend $40 on an app but this one is definitely worth it. I was using a program called “when oh when” for tracking life events and event logging but I found it a bit clunky. I would recommend Chronicling. It is visually eye catching and allows for grouping of things along with allowing you to see when you last did something on your watch. The reason this is perfect for me is because I can use the iPad app on my MacBook and the watch and iPhone apps and they all update each other. This is something when oh when really lacked. Thank you for such a great app. Keep up the great work!

Chronicling is perfect for my ADHD tendencies. I can keep track of things in the long term as opposed to feeling like I’ve failed by “breaking a streak” which helps keep me optimistic. It’s so simple that if I forget to log something for a few days or even weeks, I can easily go in and add those missing data points without getting overwhelmed by a bunch of fields to fill out for each one. Super useful tool in keeping track of my life.

A well-designed app that does exactly what it says.

While I love the Shortcut support, adding the ability to tie-in with Apple Health (like Streaks does) would be a great way to improve the workflow of tracking certain health-related events (like exercise or medication).

Thanks for such a great app!

Chronicling is so amazing at doing exactly what it needs to do. The only thing missing is to sync with ICloud so I can also track through my MacBook. Hoping the developer adds this feature!

I am a life-logging fanatic, and if Chronicling didn’t exist, I’d probably write it myself. Simple and easy to use, but also contains some complexity if you need it. Great Shortcuts integration, which is what I use to log my activities. Nice-looking UI. The iOS 17 interactive widgets are pretty cool too. Really look forward to using Chronicling more and seeing how it develops.

I’ve been looking for an app exactly like this for so long. I’ve downloaded dozens of apps to help me with habits while also tracking things I want, all while not being crazy expensive. I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for. I’m so thankful I found Chronicling so I can stop searching and focus on self improvement. :)

Really impressive app that fills a gap for me for events like watering garden plants that I’d like to see on my home screen but don’t have nice widgets in other apps. The examples tab was really helpful to get me started with ideas on what to track too. I’m looking forward to using the great Shortcuts integration as well. I think NFC tags automations are going to enable some cool use cases!

this app is the standard for habit tracking, but works equally well to track anything you want. It has a very smooth workflow that is as easy to use as it is intuitive. Highly customizable in all of the right ways with zero bloat. One of my absolute favorites apps and the dev is fantastic! I’m looking forward to it eventually coming to macOS. 🙂

I use Chronicling on my Mac, iPhone, and watch (all synced together). It's the the biggest widget on my first home screen on my phone.

It unobtrusively reminds me to do the things I think are important, just by being there. I use it to encourage me to eat healthy breakfasts, lift heavy weights, work on my book, and to work on the most important projects at work.

Appreciate the ease of use and flexibility of using this for tracking virtually anything. Also an incredibly responsive developer! I can highly recommend Chronicling.
