About¶

A stetter.io project

Logbook started as a personal fix for a personal problem. Living with MS means symptoms and moods that come and go: a spasm mid-transfer, pain at the desk, a wave of anxiety in a waiting room. Each one is easy to forget by the time anyone asks about it. Paper logs and general-purpose health apps all wanted too much, too soon.

So Logbook is built around one rule: if it takes more than a few seconds, it won't get logged. Everything else (what helped, how long it lasted, what was going on) can wait. Over weeks, that adds up to an honest record worth taking to an appointment.

Principles¶

Built by a user

Every feature exists because something got in the way on a bad day. If it isn't used, it doesn't stay.
Speed first, detail later

Logging asks the minimum. Everything else is optional and can be added afterwards.
Private by design

One person's data in one database. No analytics, no sharing, export any time.
Accessible by default

Big targets, one-handed use, readable contrast in light and dark, and automated accessibility checks. If it's hard to use, that's a bug.

What's next¶

In progress

Report groups: save a set of event types (say, everything physical) and run the report for just that group.

Ideas

Calendar view
Pattern analysis: possible triggers and correlations
Tags for notes, to filter observations
Installable app with richer offline support
Logging from Home Assistant, so a voice command or an automation can add an event
