The Daily Movement

A fast, friendly poop tracker. Log a bowel movement in a few one-handed taps, track the daily habits that actually move things along, and surface patterns clear enough to hand a doctor. Everything lives on your phone.

Gut health is real, useful data. The apps that track it are either clinical and joyless or cute and useless. This one stays honest about the science and still makes you smile.

What it does

Everything your gut is trying to tell you

One small app, four jobs. Log fast, capture the day around it, watch the patterns, and walk into an appointment with a clean record.

Feature 01

Logging that is genuinely fast

The app opens straight to the log with the date and time already set to now. Tap a Bristol type, tap save, done. Everything else is optional and one-handed, because of the obvious.

  • Bristol Stool Scale 1 to 7, each with a plain-language description so you never memorize numbers
  • Color swatches for the browns plus the ones that matter medically, each with a factual, non-alarmist note
  • Duration, pain or strain, a mood-after picker, quick tags, and a free-text field for poop thoughts

Feature 02

The whole day, not just the bathroom

Water, fiber, movement, and sleep are what actually keep things regular, so the Today tab tracks them in the same few taps. Gut-brain stuff is real, so energy lives here too.

  • A tap-to-fill hydration counter against a goal you set
  • Movement, steps, sleep, and fiber as one-tap chips
  • An energy check-in, auto-saved as you go with no save button to hunt for

Feature 03

Patterns, gently surfaced

Enough logging and the trends appear on their own. The clinical signal stays accurate, the framing stays calm, and nothing here pretends to be a diagnosis.

  • Bristol average and a trend line with a healthy comfort band
  • Color flags worth noting, with the plain-language reason and a nudge to ask a doctor
  • Frequency, a gentle regularity streak, and a light tie-in between hydration and consistency

Feature 04

A record you can hand to a doctor

The whole point of tracking is being able to share it. History is a clean, scrollable log you can edit anytime, and one tap turns the entire record into plain text for a clinician.

  • Every entry in a tidy card, most recent first, with color flags called out
  • Copy as text for Notes, Messages, or email, formatted for a human to read
  • Download a JSON backup and restore it, so a device swap never loses your history

How it works

From open to logged in a few taps

No account, no app store, no setup. Save it to your home screen and it opens full screen like a native app.

1

Open and log

Date and time default to now. Tap the Bristol type that matches, adjust anything you want, and save. A few seconds, one hand.

2

Add the day around it

On the Today tab, tap your water, movement, sleep, and fiber. It quietly saves itself as context for the patterns.

3

Watch and share

Insights surface trends and color flags over time. When you need to, copy the whole record as clean text for a doctor.

Honest about what it is. The Bristol scale, colors, and timing are kept clinically accurate so the data is genuinely useful. The funk level and poop thoughts are just for fun. It is a tracker, not a diagnosis, and it says so. If a flag keeps showing up, it points you to a real doctor.

Under the hood

One file. No backend. Nothing leaves the phone.

The Daily Movement is a single HTML file you save to your home screen. Every entry is stored in the browser on that one device, with no account, no server, and no analytics.

Single-file build localStorage persistence Quicksand + Inter Hand-sliced illustrations No backend No tracking

The friendly poop mascot, the mood faces, and the habit icons were all sliced from a custom illustration set and embedded straight into the document, so it works offline and costs nothing to run. Because there is no server, there is nothing to breach and nothing to spam, which means the link is safe to share publicly and every person gets their own private log. A small app, built the way I think small apps should be built: useful first, charming second, and honest about exactly what it does with your data.

Try it
