Scheduled Data Export (or App Shortcuts)

CSV exports works great, but would be super nifty if it could be automatically exported automatically for backups or analysis.

Ideally, as much as hourly export with option to do incremental data instead of all.

But, an easier way (maybe) could be an App Shortcut, which can be used with automations like Tasker and Bixby Routines.

Basically I’m processing data in Pandas and am trying to automate it

    Hey Avery, thank you for this great suggestion. This could be a nice idea for some users, and we hope to add automations at some point.

    If you can think of suggestions to the export file formatting wise that would make analysing it easier please let me know?

    Also if during your analysis you find a nice way to visualise something let us know :)

    Hmm, not much to complain about with the format.

    But I did switch date parsers- hours on ‘time of day’ could be zero-padded to make it more uniform. Simple date parsers like strptime want both digits.

    I don’t think visualizations themselves are going to be particularly novel.

    What im doing is calculating how many pills i should have left, and estimating medication levels based on their half-life. Eventual goal is to estimate time-before-sleep-is-possible when taking stimulants.

    lol, probably a bit niche. Maybe the pill counting part would be interesting to enough people.
