On the tracking point: I’ve found that a coding agent that can modify a file system (create and update CSVs) that’s accessible on both my laptop and phone to be the single best way to track things I’ve ever used. Bar none.

Even apps with the best UX, like Strong for tracking workouts, feel exponentially clunkier than having an agent that can answer questions, analyze pictures, and write things down on a persistent file in real-time.

Makes sense. Would you care to elaborate on your agent setup?

I actually built my own daily driver at https://operator.io.

There's definite tradeoffs when it comes using a remote agent service vs. setting up OpenClaw or Hermes on a Mac Mini, but being able to access an agent with a completely isolated file system and network gives me peace of mind when I'm using it.
