SiTap

The idea behind the project

The idea came from noticing that collecting simple data often does not require a full diary or a complex interface. Sometimes you want to know how many times you wake during the night, how often you get a headache, how many times you feed a baby, or how regularly some other event occurs. At that moment, the important thing is to record it in time, not to fill out a long questionnaire.

In SiTap, recording is literally one action: an event happens, and you tap a button. The app saves the date and time, then later shows the collected data and simple statistics.

So that you do not even need to open the app, the same button can be placed on the Android home screen as a widget. This is especially useful for events that happen often or need to be recorded immediately, before you forget.

Neutrality has another side as well. Not everything a person wants to track is something they want to display to others. We firmly support normalizing conversations about health, physiology, and the body, and oppose the stigma around them. But challenging stigma should not mean demanding more openness from an individual than they are comfortable with.

That is why SiTap deliberately does not try to guess what you are counting. To the app, there is no fundamental difference between waking during the night, a migraine attack, feeding a baby, going to the bathroom, or something highly specific. It is simply an event that occurred at a particular time.

SiTap’s main principle is very simple: collecting data should not become a separate task. If recording takes only one tap, the chance that the data will actually be collected becomes much higher.
