You can use it for pretty much anything. You can track your exercise, your eating habits, really anything at all. It has basic statistics, it can export your data, it is completely locally hosted and the interface is clean and easy to use.

It's one of those apps that you probably didn't even think that you might need until you see it and use it.

I have no affiliation with the developer, but I thought other people might really enjoy this as well. So I am sharing here.

Yes!! I wish there were more open source options to interface with fitness trackers and smart watches... I'm upset about all this proprietary crap forcing you to share your data with the manufacturer and depend on their availability and goodwill to access our data... Very frustrating :(

Gadgetbridge in just about the only one.

The problem is that the watches themselves use proprietary BS Bluetooth protocols with their own cryptic values to stop people from decoding their own devices unless you use their app...
