Use case

A custom daily tracker you can share with your partner

Name the measure, set its range and goal, decide whether lower is better, and include the visible result in a shared check-in.

A custom daily tracker to share with a partner works better when it uses your language. “Anxiety 7/10” or “meds 1/2” can explain a day faster than another generic mood prompt.

Practical guide

Track the signal your relationship already uses

Some couples have their own shorthand: pain number, anxiety level, spoon count, hunger, steps, water, meds, focus, or social battery. A custom tracker lets that signal be explicit.

What you can define

BaeMax custom trackers let the person define the shape of the measure instead of forcing every day through a generic mood label.

  • Name and unit
  • Minimum, maximum, step, and goal
  • Color and daily reset
  • Lower-is-better option

Who creates it

The person doing the check-in creates the tracker and chooses whether it appears in a shared check-in. A partner can ask for support, but they should not define a private measure for someone else to maintain.

  • Tracker owner creates the measure
  • Tracker owner logs the value
  • Tracker owner chooses visibility
  • Partner receives context, not control

Good custom tracker examples

The best tracker is one both people understand without a long explanation.

  • Anxiety 7 out of 10
  • Pain 6 out of 10
  • Meds 1 of 2
  • Social battery 20 percent

Sharing limits

A custom number can help a partner respond, but it is not a monitor, demand, or proof of how someone feels.

  • Visible custom results can appear in shared check-ins
  • Meaning should be agreed together
  • Numbers need context sometimes
  • Not partner surveillance

Design a tracker that leads to one useful response

Before choosing the scale, finish the sentence: 'When my partner sees this, they can help by…' A pain number might lead to handling dinner; a social-battery percentage might mean fewer plans; a medication-support field might prompt pickup logistics but must not claim a dose was taken. If the number does not change a decision, it may belong in a private log or not be tracked at all. Define what the endpoints mean so a 2 and an 8 are not interpreted differently by each person.

  • Use a narrow scale when fine precision would be false.
  • Include an option for not logged or prefer not to share.
  • Review the measure after a week for pressure or misunderstanding.
  • Never turn a self-report into a target the partner enforces.
The shortlist
01

Anxiety bar

When lower is better

Create a personal scale, mark lower as better, and share the result only if it helps your partner understand energy.

Good
+ Uses your chosen range
+ Can reset daily
+ Visible in partner context when shared
Trade-offs
Does not assess or treat anxiety
A number still needs shared meaning
02

Medication count

A small daily routine

Use a count and goal for a personal medication routine when a visible check-in measure is useful.

Good
+ Custom unit and step
+ Daily reset option
+ Goal can be visible
Trade-offs
Not a prescription manager
Not proof that medication was taken
03

Pain level

Explaining current energy

Set a personal pain scale with lower-is-better behavior and share the current value as context, not as a diagnosis.

Good
+ Fast to update
+ Uses the person's own label
+ Can sit beside sleep and activity
Trade-offs
Not emergency monitoring
Partners must not over-interpret a score
04

Hunger or meals

A reminder grounded in the day

Track a count or scale that matches the person's routine instead of adopting a fixed nutrition program.

Good
+ Flexible unit
+ Adjustable goal
+ Can be hidden later
Trade-offs
No nutrition advice
Not suitable for every person's relationship with food
05

Your own measure

The thing generic apps miss

Name a tracker around the signal your pair already uses, then choose a sensible range, step, goal, and color.

Good
+ Uses your language
+ Can continue or reset daily
+ Easy to remove if it becomes clutter
Trade-offs
Requires you both to agree on what the measure means

What it does
  • customMore than renaming a fixed slider. Set the unit, numeric bounds, step, goal, direction, reset behavior, and color so the tracker behaves like the thing it represents.
  • Optional sharingA personal measure does not have to become partner data. Custom tracker results appear to the partner only when the tracker is visible and check-in sharing is on.
  • Does not pile upHide or remove what stopped helping. A tracker can be useful for a month and annoying after that. Hiding or removing it keeps the daily check-in short.

Common questions

can i make my own 1 to 10 anxiety tracker and let my partner see it?
Yes. You can name the tracker, choose its range and step, mark lower as better, and include the visible result when check-in sharing is on. It is a self-reported signal, not an anxiety assessment.
can my partner edit the number i logged?
No. The custom tracker is created and updated by the person doing the check-in. The partner receives the visible shared result as context, not a control for rewriting it or defining the tracker for you.
can my partner request a tracker for me to fill out every day?
They can ask, but the person doing the tracking should decide whether the measure exists and whether it is shared. If it feels like monitoring instead of support, do not create it.
does everything i create get shared automatically?
Partner visibility depends on the tracker being visible and check-in sharing being on. Personal measures should not become shared by accident.
can i make a medication tracker with reminders and dose instructions?
You can make a custom count or goal and BaeMax has a daily-reset option, but it is not a prescription manager and does not confirm doses or give medication instructions. Use a purpose-built medication tool if missed-dose safety is the main need.
what if the custom tracker makes my check-in too cluttered?
Hide or remove it. You can also hide built-in sections, so the daily check-in gets shorter around what you use.
can my iphone partner see my shared tracker?
Not currently. Both people need Android for the paired flow today.
