Quantified Selfers in the Apple community have a new app to download, in the form of lifelogging app OptimizeMe, which recently launched in the App Store.
A single iOS app that tracks all of your daily activities, OptimizeMe allows users to log mood, stress level, health status, quality of sleep, weight, and a number of other variables. With the addition of activity tracker Moves installed, it also automatically tracks Running, Cycling, Walking, Steps, Calories and Location (Foursquare).
Your “virtual life” coach Ari then translates this data into personalized insights — allowing you to quantify questions such as how walking affects sleep; how work influences health; and how other people affect your mood.
According to its developers, OptimizeMe allows you to:
• Track your time spent on everyday activities such as Sleep, Work or Gym
• Integrate Running, Cycling, Steps, Calories and Location data from activity tracker Moves
• Log your Mood, Health Status, Quality of Sleep, Weight and other daily parameters
• Tag people, add photos and comments to your daily timeline
• Get personal insights from correlation analysis of your data
• Set your daily goals for any important activities and parameters
• Spot new trends and reach your goals with your personal life coach Ari
• Visualize your life and progress with a multitude of interactive charts
• Customize any activities and parameters you want to track
