When you're in control, tracking is a good thing
There are tracker apps aplenty, but be sure sure to look at the fine print before you download them. Some of them siphon off your personal data and do god knows what with it.
Here are three that sync across Mac, iPad and iPhone. They have beautiful interfaces, a reasonable one-time price and respect your privacy. Find them all in your local app store.
Streaks — a habit tracker
You can set up pretty much any habit you can think of and decide how often you want to do it — or avoid it.
The only data collected — crash data — is not linked to you.
Fleur — an expense tracker
Keeping on top of all your personal expenses and incomes gives a great of feeling of control over your life. This app makes it a pleasure.
It’s a little more intrusive but the data is not linked to you — purchases, diagnostics and usage.
Book Tracker — yes, it tracks your books
Reading is one of the habits in my habit tracker. And now that I’m in the habit, I’m having fun getting my reading life organized.
It collects no data at all.
