Rarely, but properly. What is written here is either measured or lived through — there are enough how-to articles already.
Does magnesium work for me? Find out, don’t guess
No study can tell you whether magnesium changes your sleep. Three weeks of notes, then a look back, without the app handing you a verdict.
Supplement tracker app: what actually matters
Nine criteria you can check against any supplement tracker app yourself, and an honest account of where RecTake fits and where it does not.
Switching phones: what happens to my entries?
Your entries live only on your phone and do not move by themselves. What comes along, what does not, and how to back up first.

RecTake and Cal AI: two diaries, two questions
Cal AI counts calories against a daily target. RecTake records what happened — so you can see for yourself which days went well. What each one does, and when which is the right one.

Creatine, omega-3, fewer carbohydrates, more water — and the suspicion that it makes a difference. Why I built myself an app you only ever speak to, and that asks how you are doing by itself.
