FEN-O for one phone
The app as most people meet it: one device, one person, the four things above and nothing else switched on.
- Background activity tracking
- Unlimited personal reminders
- Weekly progress report
- Export of your own data
The case for a smaller tracker
Most activity apps are built on the assumption that you want more. More metrics, more streaks, more badges, more notifications arriving at the exact moment you had stopped thinking about any of it. FEN-O was built on the opposite assumption: that the person opening a tracker at the end of a long day wants to know one or two things, wants to know them in under five seconds, and then wants to put the phone down.
So the home screen answers the only question that matters on a Tuesday evening — did today look like the days you want your days to look like? Movement, counted in the background by the sensors already in your pocket. Nothing to start, nothing to stop, nothing to remember to log. If you forget the app exists for a fortnight, the fortnight is still there when you come back.
Reminders you wrote, not reminders we wrote
There is no library of goals in FEN-O, no coach, no encouraging voice. There is a list of reminders, and everything on it is a sentence you typed yourself: stretch at eleven, call the pharmacy Thursday, walk before the afternoon meeting. Each one has a time and a repeat, and that is the whole of it. A reminder that comes from you is one you will actually act on; a reminder generated for a demographic is one you will swipe away for a month and then switch off entirely.
Sync, in the boring sense of the word
Pick up the tablet and the numbers are the same numbers. Add a reminder on the phone at a bus stop and it is waiting on the other device before you are home. Sync in FEN-O is not a feature with a screen of its own — it is the absence of the moment where you wonder which device is right.
A report, not a dashboard
At the end of each week FEN-O lays the seven days out next to each other and against the week before. No scores, no grades, no interpretation of your health, because that is not ours to give. Just the shape of the week, in a size you can take in at a glance: which days ran long, which ones went quietly, where the pattern sits. People tell us that is the screen they keep the app for.
FEN-O is available on Google Play, and the work on it continues the way it started — carefully, and mostly by taking things out. If you are looking at it for a team, a device line or a partnership, or you simply have a question the store listing does not answer, the form near the bottom of this page reaches the people who build it.
