I would absolutely love this

Multiple entries per day would be ideal.

This would be great

While you’re waiting, you can already track related qualitative measures like “low energy”, “tired”, “stressed” etc with new custom tracking: https://exist.io/blog/introducing-custom-tracking/

The main problem with energy levels is that they are hourly, instead of daily, and that would mean a different type of way to register.

I have more energy in the morning, a slump in energy after lunch, and a spike right before dinner

Very True. I really wish Exist allowed for hourly entries. I’m sure that would require a lot of changes. However, I think that if they allow users to enter hourly measurements and simply average out the multiple entries that would result in a more accurate energy level measurement. Please implement

We’re not looking to make these large architectural changes any time soon. Users overwhelmingly voted against this option in the survey.

Trying to understand what determines my different levels of energy in the evening is a key thing I am using Exist for. Using the custom tags only allows two states (‘tired’ tag and no tag), whereas having different energy levels would enable it to be more sophisticated - I have at least three different levels.

I think there’s a feature suggestion for assigning a metric to a tag (for medication dosage) which would give us a scale to work with for energy.

I would definitely like a way to track energy as I’m pretty sure it has a complex relationship to many things that I would like to suss out.

Right, if we did get to manual tracking first, you could use that for energy level rather than it being a separate feature.

If you currently track energy level using some other means, I’d like your feedback! In the forum I’m looking for feedback on where you track it and using what scale.

I got very few responses about how you’re all tracking energy level currently, so interestingly it seems like this is mostly an aspirational suggestion (“sounds like a good idea”) rather than something you’ve already confirmed a need for.

Yes, that’s what I was trying to say — seems like it’s not something that people are already doing, just something they feel they’d like to start doing. Given you already track it sometimes, I’d love to hear how and where in the related forum thread :)

Definitely second this. The various meds I take and foods I eat have a strong effect on my energy levels, and being able to track several times a day would be very helpful.

OK, so here’s how I track my energy levels. For the last 6 months I’ve been tracking AM and PM levels using a 3-point scale (good, ok, low), but in the last couple of weeks I’ve gone to checking in several times a day on a 10-point scale. I do the same with moods and with my overwhelm levels (I’m on the autism spectrum with sensory processing issues, so overwhelm levels are a factor for me). If you need more information, feel free to email me directly.

Thanks, I’ve put this into the forum where I’ve been collecting feedback.

I would like this, but this + medication tracking + many of the other suggestions are already incorporated in the single-developer, very cheap app ‘Everyday.’ Think there’s a partnership there instead? Streaks does the same ..

This suggestion, along with medication tracking, will be made possible by the introduction of manual tracking in 2020.

Energy tracking with a range of values was one of the main things I was looking for in a tracking app, to the extent where if it isn’t coming soon for Exist I will most likely deactivate my account after the trial period. Numerical ranges for other custom attributes would also be great–e.g., being able to track how many minutes/hours I studied a subject rather than just whether I studied it or not.

A quick start would be to change “mood” to another title so those that prefer to track energy can.

Agree!

You can track energy level by tapping “Track something new” in the mobile app and selecting “energy level” from the list.
