I am looking for a service that will help me track my life. Everything from # of books I read, miles I run, cups of coffee I drink, etc. and compile it all into one website or application.
Does anything like this exist already?
Something like Nicholas Felton's Reporter app maybe? http://www.reporter-app.com/
And https://exist.io to link up any other sources of data in one place
April Zero (https://aprilzero.com/) isn't an app yet, but I think its a good representation of what something like you're asking for could look like eventually.
It is: https://gyrosco.pe/
But Reporter is more flexible for what you track.
Ah you're right, thanks. Last I checked it was just a concept -- cool to know he's making it a reality.
It's up and running now at https://gyrosco.pe/ and we've been inviting a few people every day.
We don't have things like the books you've read, but we're constantly adding new data sources (like Goodreads) to eventually encompass your whole life.
Reporter App is great too. Our approach is more automated, we don't have any manual entry features but just pull from existing services that have your data.
Hi Anand, what do I have to do to get an invite? Thanks :)
I'd love one too :-)
Facebook? :)

The question is: why?
A suggestion.

Mainly for computer usage statistics but worth a look.
I don't think an all-in-one app is the way to go with this, as there are apps that do each thing exceptionally -- for example Strava for running or cycling.
Many of these specialized apps have APIs you can query, or other ways to download your data, so you can put it on your portfolio as an overall view.
I think there's a lot of room for this extra layer on top — e.g. what Anand is doing with Gyrosco.pe. Their platform aggregates existing data sources in a way that can provide a lot of clarity and value for users. It's a thing of beauty to see a lot of yourself (from many disjointed apps) in one place. I imagine there will be a lot more of this sort of thing in the next few years.
RescueTime for everything on your computer. Fitness band for health. Stuff you read - kindle (also paces you) EVERYTHING ELSE? Whats the point?
