Life activity tracking — not just workouts
Most activity trackers count steps and workouts. Remember – Life Journal tracks the rest of your life — concerts, hikes, meals, books, quiet evenings — as a journal timeline and on a map.
Most activity trackers are built around fitness. Steps, runs, rides — the kind of things that go on Strava or close a ring on your Apple Watch.
But most of what makes life worth tracking isn't that. It's the concert you went to on a Tuesday. The long hike with a friend you hadn't seen in two years. The three evenings in a row you actually cooked. The book you finished at midnight.
That's what life activity tracking is about. Not optimisation. Not performance. Just a record of your days — as a journal timeline you can scroll through, and as a map showing where everything happened.
Remember – Life Journal is built for exactly this: life logging beyond fitness, with both a chronological journal view and a map view of everything you've done.
What makes it different
Map view AND journal timeline
Two ways to see everything you've logged. Browse activities chronologically as a journal list — or see them as pins on a map. Every entry lives in both views simultaneously.
100 categories — for life, not workouts
Concerts, hikes, cooking sessions, restaurant dinners, films, books, walks, day trips. Categories that fit how you actually spend your time, not just what fitness trackers understand.
€4.99 once. No subscription.
One-time purchase, no recurring fees. Offline-first — works without internet. GDPR-compliant, no cloud account required.

How I track activities
-
Keep it simple
One tap, a category, maybe a note. That's it. No lengthy forms.
-
Focus on categories
Tennis. Cycling. Reading. Hiking. I don't need sub-categories.
-
Review monthly
Once a month I look back. It's usually more interesting than I expect.
-
Let patterns emerge
I don't set goals. I just record. The patterns show themselves.
Common questions
Is this just a map app?
No. Every activity you log appears in two places: as a pin on the map, and as an entry in your journal timeline — a chronological list of everything you've done. You can browse spatially or chronologically. Both views show the same data, organised differently.
What kinds of activities can I track?
Anything you do. Remember has 100 built-in categories covering concerts, hikes, meals, cooking, reading, films, travel, sport, and much more. It's a life activity tracking app and journal — not just fitness.
How is this different from Strava or Apple Health?
Strava and Apple Health are optimised for fitness — performance, routes, metrics. Remember – Life Journal is a life logging app. It records what you did and where, not how fast or how far.
Remember – Life Journal
I built Remember because I couldn't find a life activity tracking app that captured what I actually do — not just workouts, but concerts, hikes, restaurant visits, books, quiet evenings at home.
Every activity goes into a journal timeline and onto a map. One-time price, no subscription, no cloud account needed.
