Creating open source QuantifiedSelf software

My friends and I are in process of creating full software to ease use in measuring our metrics, comparing them and analyzing them, we are currently just planning things on paper, defining its structure and software requirments, we are new to Quantified Self, and looking for people wanting to contribute or help, this project would be fully open source, if anyone would like to help us you can find project here it only has markdown for now, we are still in phase of writing down all requirments and how it should work.

For us main purpose would be to track heart rate, Sp02, body temperature, weight, and develop/integrate algorithm to determine sleep phases. If anyone has some recommended features or has tried building something like this and has some advice we would love to hear it.

Privacy focussed dashboard / tools

Hi all,

Are there other people who like the quantified self idea, but also value their privacy? I am looking into moving to more privacy friendly options. What are your favourite privacy-friendly tools?

Lifestack, the only calendar app that optimizes your health and productivity

The team at Lifestack is passionate about wearable technology but we’ve noticed a common issue: the advice from wearables is severely generic — lacking personal context. For example, an app may advise someone to sleep at 10pm without regards for their unique late-night schedules.

We believe that personalization will further enhance the experience with balancing productivity and health. Instead of the generic “8 hours of sleep,” we provide personalized guidance like “since you have late-night meetings tonight, try taking a nap between 3–4PM.”

For the past 3 months, we have been running our Alpha testing on TestFlight. Today, we are transitioning from TestFlight to both the App Store (iOS) and Play Store (Android) to kickoff our Closed Beta testing!

Easily export / explore your (Apple+) data

I adjusted a project i was building to allow for easy exporting of data as a csv!

This project already integrates all data from apple health + any manual logs (social, food, drinks, mood, additional health data)

With this extension, you can easily play with your data yourself, without needing to do the downloading, fetching or data engineering

I'm hoping this can help make some of the biohacking / personal tracking become a bit easier to manage!

Good place trackers (like Gyroscope, Moves)?

Finding this impossible to Google, but are there any good current apps for place-tracking like Gyroscope (and before that Moves, and before that Google Timeline)? I've been using Gyroscope forever, but just realized they've dramatically raised their prices and added a bunch of lifestyle/health AI features that I really don't care about.

Wondering if there's something more basic with nice export features. I'm fine to pay, just not hundreds per year.

Reflect - Track Anything: Oura Integration Now Available

We've recently added Oura integration to Reflect - Track Anything, an iOS app that allows you to track metrics that matter to you and find relationships between them.

With the Oura integration, you can correlate things like HRV, Sleep Score, Activity Score, and more to anything you care to track with Reflect, such as mood, supplement usage, activities, and physical symptoms.

This feature is brand new and in beta, so we are really looking forward to your feedback. We have a tutorial for how to integrate with Oura on our website. We're happy to answer any questions you may have.

Best brands with respect to API availability for QS-related purposes?

Today, most hardware companies build a tall fence around their products. Even the most trivial services such as the health apps shipped with the devices (e.g., Samsung Health, Apple Health) don't expose APIs. Hence, you have two possibilities: You opt for one of a few selected apps (e.g., Strava) that do, or you use a "bridge" like Google's Health Connect (there is the third possibility of building an app that plugs into the tools using the official SDKs, but it is not trivial). But is this generally the case or there are brands that are actually better than "mainstream" ones when it comes to this problem? I am tired of having to jump through so many hoops just to get my daily walking data, for example.

Coming back to QS after a long break to try and address some health needs - looking for self-hosted options, ideally open source.

Hey folks,

Back in 2017 I got into QS and wrote up my experiences with ConnectorDB. For various reasons I've decided to start tracking my health properly again, and ConnectorDB appears to have been replaced by Heedy

This self-contained, self-hosted approach is exactly what I'm after (although I'll probably pull the data into Grafana for analysis because that's who I work for these days!), but before I set it up again I'd love to know if there are any other options out there?

The core metrics I want to monitor are:

  1. Steps taken per day
  2. Calorific intake
  3. Mood
  4. Sleep duration

For (2) I'm not overly worried about breaking this down into saturated fats/salt/sugars/fibre etc, although that would be useful.

For (3), I don't currently have an app, but if there's one folks can recommend that either has an API or feeds the data into Google Health that would be appreciated!

The apps I'm currently using on my phone are Google Health and Lose It!, but I also want to start using Sleep as Android as it also feeds into Google Health and Google Health has an API I can query.

I'm more than at home writing custom code for things to connect them all together, but at the same time I don't want to reinvent the wheel if something that does all this already exists.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a list of tutorials for automatically exporting all the things to spreadsheets?

Is there a list of tutorials for exporting data from various services? For example, a blog post somewhere that introduces exporting steps from a Fitbit to Google Sheets via IFTTT, a video that teaches how to call Strava's API to export exercise activity to a OneDrive Excel file, or an article that lists all the steps to automatically track screentime from YouTube and X/Twitter? I'm looking for a living list that gets updated when someone finds a new/better way to export a metric.

What is currently the best watch focused on health and battery life?

I am looking for a watch for my girlfriend so she can monitor her blood pressure with accuraccy which is the top priority (1).

(2) The second priority would be other health accurate readings.

(3) The third should be the battery so she wouldn't have to charge it all the time and therefore use it during sleep so it can monitor stuff.

(4) The fourth would be that it should look a bit like a ladies' watch.

So far I am looking at:

  • spade and co watch
  • Garmin Forerunner 45S
  • Fitbit Sense 2

In Search of the Ultimate Health App: My Journey Beyond Metriport for Comprehensive Health Metric Consolidation

Hello r/quantifiedself,

As someone deeply invested in the quantified self movement, I've been utilizing Metriport, an app designed to consolidate a wide range of personal health metrics. Metriport allows tracking everything from health, habits, and fitness to mood, nutrition, and finance, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of one's lifestyle through data visualization and personalized insights.

About Metriport:

Metriport offers a robust set of features including:

  • A variety of metric templates to track health, habits, symptoms, fitness, mood, periods, nutrition, finance, and more.
  • The ability to create fully customizable personal metrics.
  • Syncing capabilities with Google Fit for consolidated health data.
  • Personalized insights based on the data you track.
  • Customizable data visualization options.
  • Strong privacy and security measures to ensure data ownership and protection.
  • Advanced features for premium users, including biometric/PIN lock, automated cloud backups, and a broader range of metric customizability.

Despite Metriport's extensive capabilities, it lacks several key functionalities crucial for my specific needs:

  1. Location-Based Tracking: Metriport does not offer the ability to track specific locations, such as my workplace, to analyze how time spent in different locations affects my health metrics.
  2. Seamless Calorie Syncing: The app lacks seamless integration for syncing calorie data, making it cumbersome to manually track calorie intake every day.
  3. Fitbit Integration: It does not support integration with Fitbit, which is essential for me to automatically sync my fitness data.
  4. Google Health Connect Compatibility: While not a deal-breaker, compatibility with Google Health Connect in addition to Google Fit would be a significant bonus, enhancing the app's utility by integrating data from multiple sources.

I've tried several other apps in my quest for the perfect health and wellness tracking solution, including Best Life, Lili, Track Anything, and Exist, but none have matched my expectations or the comprehensive approach that Metriport offers.

Why I'm Seeking More:

The core of my search lies in finding an app that not only does everything Metriport does but also fills the gaps in its functionality. My goal is to gain weight and better understand how my lifestyle impacts my health. This includes detailed insights into how my work hours influence my calorie intake, activity levels, and sleep patterns. Integrating this data with devices like Fitbit and possibly Google Health Connect would provide a seamless way to track and analyze my health without the manual effort currently required.

Having ADHD and striving to gain weight since October 19th, 2022, presents unique challenges that a more comprehensive app could help me overcome. By correlating data like work hours with health metrics, I could make informed decisions about my diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle.

I'm reaching out to this community for recommendations on an app or platform that meets these specific needs. Your insights and suggestions would be incredibly valuable to me as I continue this journey toward improved health and self-understanding

Ps keep in mind that I am on Android, not Apple so Apple apps do not help me in any way shape or form.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Android app highlight big heart rate changes while asleep?

I'm trying to see if I have sleep apnea.

I've ready that heart rate drops as it starts then spikes as you recover.

I've got a heart rate monitor that connects to phone via bluetooth.

Looking for an app that would detect big swings like the above. Doesn't even need to say "you have sleep apnea", just highlight the big changes.

This seems like such a simple/obvious thing: If heart rate changes significantly, log the time. Show me the graph with those times highlighted.

Any suggestions?
