Hello Product Hunt, Instant now tracks the time spent on your phone, travelling, at places, while sleeping & on fitness activities. All this is tracked automatically and is put on a dashboard. Based on your feedback we learnt that when it comes to lifelogging, data is not enough. We built on this to get weekly reports to give our users actionable insights based on their data. We used storytelling techniques with trend graphs for this. We have also added automatic sleep tracking with a major UI upgrade. The new reports should be able to give our users actionable insights. We are also licensing our award winning tracking technology & looking for enterprise partners. You can feel free to contact me on to give me any detailed feedback. Looking forward to your comments! iOS: Android: ā€˜ You walked equivalent to 11 pizza slices this week šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•šŸ•ā€™- Instant 3.0
Also, do the iOS app track app usage?
Maker
nope, no public APIs for app tracking in iOS right now. We will definitely add it once it opens up, we had tried using a private API for app tracking which we had to remove. You can partially get that data through your battery settings tho.
looks neat. What is your edge over apps like Quality Time and (OFFTIME)?
Maker
they only track your digital activities. Instant also tracks your places, fitness, travel & sleep.
is the sleep detector similar to Sleep Cycle where you put it near you and it detects motion? Or is it more like if you haven't used your phone for a prolong time, it assumes your sleeping?
Hi Shashwat, I really like your marketing positioning : GA for your life. Simple and appealing to any startupper / marketer. Why is App Tracking only available on Android ? Apple provides that info in the Battery section of Settings. Is is that Apple doesn't let apps access this info ? Thomas
Maker
hi Thomas, Apple doesn't give an API for that. There was a private API in iOS 8 which we tried but Apple rejected it, so hoping that comes with iOS 10. Thanks for the feedback tho. šŸ˜Š
Instant buy! Although I'm slightly afraid of the stats that I'll get...
Maker
thanks for the support, that's the process of self-improvement with analytics! šŸ˜Š
Bought it instantly ;)
Maker

We also wrote a post on Medium (2 min read) that elaborates more on the personal analytic part of Instant: My favourite part: ā€˜You used your phone for 20 hours last week. You can go from the Earth to the Moon twice in that much time!ā€™ā€Šā€”ā€ŠInstant 3.0

Automatically keep track of the time spent on your phone, while travelling, at places, while sleeping & on fitness activities. It also gives you weekly reports based on your data. All your data is private, only stored on your device.
Maker
Thanks for hunting us!
Hunter
All the best! :)
Hi Shashwat, Instant looks impressive. I am just little concern about my battery life as Google fit drains battery a lot. What's your take on it?
Maker
hi Kamal, while building Instant, battery and privacy were two key things we kept in mind from a user perspective. In terms of battery if you switch Google Fit to low accuracy mode it should use negligible battery. Instant doesn't even need 1% battery on Android, so it should work good for you.
Good to know.
Initially I thought it's another Google fit but it's really GA for life. Marketing tagline is awesome. Out of curiosity - the logo looks like infinity symbol, how did you decided the logo? Also your beautiful emberify logo took my eyes. Will you please share some advice? Thanks for getting hunted :)
Maker
thanks so much! The infinity symbol comes from the fact that personal analytics can help improve life boundlessly. (And the amount of data!) Our Emberify logo is designed by an Armenian designer, the symbolism is: In the core of this innovative tech startup logo is a fire dragon symbolising wild power, freedom and success.
One more fabulous thing which you have done is a personalized web-hooked page for PH :) Giving a sense of **special** treatment. Hats off for that! You're crazy man :P Look forward to learn more from you! The only thing I'm wondering is, like PH, are there another sources from where one can gather users?
Been following this team for a while and super impressed with their hustle. Good luck with this launch. Also? Great tagline!
Maker
thanks so much Hillel! Really appreciated.
Can you elaborate on how the sleep tracking is recorded/monitored?
Maker
we track sleep primarily by your activity.
If I am using a nightstand app to display a clock while sleeping, does Instant see that at activity?
Maker
nope, mostly physical activity. It will be able to detect you asleep. The sleep tracking works for 95% of the people.
: It looks promising ... :) All the very best for the huge success!
Maker
thanks Nitesh! Any feedback would be appreciated.
