Stalky: The tracking app that does not track you!

Stalky is a self-hosted app that helps you keep track of anything you want. Don't let others stalk you, stalk yourself!

You can track sleep, mood, caffeine, antisocial tendencies or anything you can think of. Stalky will then help you make sense of the data by analyzing it and finding interesting stuff in it. And it all runs on your computer, never sending your data to anyone else.

Your data is truly in your hands -- everything is stored as CSVs, so you can open it with your favorite text editor (or your favorite data analysis tool, or a crazy visualization program, or anything). Built for geeks, by a geek!

My secret plan is to integrate this with a few hardware trackers, details TBA. I want to nail down the basics first though, so it will take a while.

Check out the demo at stalkydemo.herokuapp.com#hello!

I want this!

Requires python3 and node*. Install these using your package manager, e.g. sudo apt-get install python3 nodejs.

Type make run, open http://localhost:8500 and enjoy!

Put it on a server behind a reverse proxy such as nginx with HTTP auth if you want to use this from multiple devices.

For more details, check the wiki.

* Actually, doesn't really require node because I have sinned and the compiled file is in the repo. Look here to go without.

Fun integrations

You can use IFTTT's Webhooks endpoint to get data from just about anywhere. Example: Shout "Hey Google, write down, yoga 3" at your fancy expensive speaker. More details in the wiki.

Also, it's just HTTP -- it's easy to roll your own!

I like this!

Me too :-D If you want to increase my motivation and therefore the chances that I'll write some code today, you can say thanks or support me on Liberapay. Or you can write code!

stalky's Issues

Add data source: Beeminder goal progress

Can use raw data from a goal, BUT need to be able to configure whether it's a total (i.e. need to do differentiation) or a daily thing. Or does actually beeminder support a daily thing?

Add data source: Clue app

Add favicon, theme color, fix page title, etc. to make it work better as a mobile app

Add functionality: no value => auto-add value 1

• Server should, upon receiving any label and no value, default to the value 1 instead of throwing an error
• Client should not complain about no value

This would make stalky more suitable for Boolean values such as "had medication". Currently this is a tiny bit awkward.

Finish the View tab

Should be a usable, reasonable, pretty, responsive graph.

Better website

• improve content
• link / embed demo
• serve from the pretty domain
• link it from places

Add data source: Oura ring

Simplify deployment

• Make single-command deployments possible
• server: serve static files; get PORT and DATAFILE from env vars
• Define precise dependencies that should be installed by the package manager and make sure everything else is handled by the Makefile
• Make it trivial to set up push-to-deploy

Host a demo

• create a VM / jail / something somewhere
• set up resource limits on the jail / VM / whatever: disk, cpu, network
• set up something to restore state every 5 minutes
• deploy & link from README

Add data source: Taskwarrior task completion

Has to be thought about -- what data do I want?

Document development setup (esp. including pre-built bundle.js)

send by pressing Enter

Add an "on Enter key" event to the data input field, so that pressing Enter sends data. Right now one has to press Tab then Enter (to focus and use the Send button), which is annoying.

Set up a local source for dependencies so I can make changes without publishing to PyPI

also document it in the wiki
