I’m not familiar with how they work or what kinds of data they track and return. Would they be useful to track things like plant feeder changes, cpap cleaning schedules, ant farm maintenance…
Can you think useful alternative applications and life hacks for these apps?
edit: I know that there are alternative scheduling apps for virtually any need. That’s not the point. I like finding new and useful ways to use existing things.
As a developer I would just make a custom calendar app or just have reminders for every 21st or something
Track your workouts, runs, oil changes, migraine, poops, payments, house air filter changes, etc
I don’t think period trackers can be used for that because schedules and such are supposed to alert you to something. But with period trackers you tell them when something happened. Specifically when the first blood and the last blood appeared. I don’t think any of them give you a message of “expect to feel awful today”.
But maybe they can be used to track natural occuring cycles like when a fast growing plant is ready for harvest maybe.
Edit: I often use Did I take my meds as a flexible scheduler.
I hope you get some alternative uses just so that people can claim that’d what they were tracking when the police come knocking. If it’s a criminal trial, they need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, and providing other uses would absolutely provide reasonable doubt for that information at least.
Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.
There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.
