So, there is a comment I made in a post about a year ago, I’m gonna repost it here too:

I have some (many) apps to share (I really like gathering my data, lol, and I try to do that with open source apps).

1)Fast and fitness (workout tracker)

I’ve been using Fast and Fitness for about a year and I really like it. You set up your profile, you create the exercises and even create programs if you want (I have made a few). It can even register body metrics (weight, fat/muscle/water percentage, height etc.).

You can import and export various stuff seperately in csv which is really helpful (like history/exercises/programs etc.). Here I have exported my exercises, my programs and uploaded the exercise pictures I use so you can import them on your app (in case it fails you could tweak the files on PC to make it work, but I just tested it on a fresh install of the app and it worked).

To do so, just open the app, create your local profile, export the records of your profile so that it creates the fastnfitness folder on your downloads folder, throw the the files I shared with you inside the export foldee and then import them with this order(!):

  • exportExercises.csv

  • exportPrograms.csv

  • exportProgramTemplates.csv

  • manually assign each photo to each exercise (a bit tedious and optional)

2)Fito track (running/cardio workout tracker)

I’m using Fito Track to track my running workouts (route on map, distance, time, speed, elevation etc.), but I think it can be used for any cardio kind of exercise (like swimming). It too can export/import many things and can be used with smartwatches.

3)openScale (body metrics tracker)

I use openScale for about 1.5years to mainly to track my weight, fat/water/muscle percentage, the measurements of my fat calipers etc.

4)Gadgetbridge (smartwatch connector to phone)

If you want an open source way to connect to your phone any smartwatch/fitness tracker watch you have, Gadgetbridge seems to be doing the job (I did it once to use a watch with FitoTrack)

5)MotionMate (step counter)

Just a simple and reliable step counter I’m using. It’s the only one so far that seems to register almost all the steps (apart from my xiaomi device’s built-in step tracker). It has no export/import function, but I have root access, so I can import/export its databases and successfully export it on my pc (or import it back to my phone) and edit it with a db browser and a sheey editor.

6)Energize (food intake and and body metrics tracker)

I’ve used Energize a few times to check how much I’m getting of each nutrient. It makes it easier as many items are in a database and you just scan it (even works for many Greek products, since I’m Greek).

7)Pain diary (Well, a pain tracker)

I’ve used Pain Diary a few times to register the pain I felt on my body after some workouts.

I have kinda the reverse issue:

I try to find something new to play, but people ~usually tend to resist against trying new games. And if it has many/complex rules it gets discarded even more easily…🥲

Old reddit redirect or popup off could probably work as well (both are exentions on firefox).

I’m just checking my social media apps for any new messages and maybe droify for updates. After checking them in the morning I kinda think to myself that now job is done and any more time I spend of my morning on them is kinda wasted. Checking social media from time to time and speaking with your friends seems kinda healthy, but doomscrolling is kind of a waste after a point (happens if I’m too bored to start my day).

The thing is, after I check all these, I might go in a loop due to boredom (boredom may have many many reasons behind it). When I have tasks to do or I’m in a period that my friends and I are busy, this is more intense. The phone is an easy and portable distraction. All these contribute to an increase of phone usage (currently I’m in one of those situations and phone usage has increased probably by at least 50%).
