The app was inspired by a quantifiable means of living where Felton has collected 79 hours worth of data about the designer himself. Turning his life into a series of spreadsheets, graphs and charts; the Reporter app can measure everyone and everything. The app asks a diverse range of questions throughout the day, like Where are you, Who are you with? or What are you doing? The user is allowed to answer by typing in text, a simple Yes or No and options for multiple choice. "Reporting is like [journaling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mebot-for-ios) - a practice that provides the most real value in hindsight." The app also encourages adding personalized questions like "how did you sleep?". ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Life-tracking Apps:** Opportunity for developing new life-tracking apps that allow users to document and quantify their lives in a customized way. - **Quantifiable Living:** Potential for creating innovative products and services that enable individuals to collect and analyze data about various aspects of their lives. - **Personalized Reporting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create reporting apps that allow users to add personalized questions and tailor the data collection process to their specific needs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity for developers to create customizable mobile apps that help users track and quantify different aspects of their lives. - **Data Analytics:** Potential for the data analytics industry to develop tools and technologies that can analyze large amounts of personal data collected from life-tracking apps. - **Personal Productivity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the personal productivity industry to integrate life-tracking features into their existing products and help users optimize their daily routines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personal Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-ago.md) - [Efficiency-Focused Daily Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifelog.md) - [Life-Logging Digital Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-journal.md) - [Relationship Tracker Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baza.md) - [Passive Memory Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holoholo-app.md) - [Personal Life Tracking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-of-life-tracker.md) - [AI-Powered Digital Diary Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chartmylifeai.md) - [Daily Self-Improvement Record Keeping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-book-of-life.md) - [App Activity Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tracks-apps.md)
