I built Nomie (https://nomie.app) over the last 5 years, the data that people track with it IS INSANELY personal. So much that the stress wore me out and I ended up shutting it all down 2 months ago.

I'd love to sell it, but I'm too afraid of giving it to the wrong people. Every investor or potential buyer wanted Nomie for the users data, not because it was actually helping people - GTFO.

Ouch, yeah, that sucks. Were you worried about the data loss risk or just tired of the slog?
Constantly worried about hackers... the "how i'm stealing your credit card data" post brought my level of stress to the max.

I don't think I'll ever stop tracking and continue to use Nomie. Since it's purely offline and device only, like Alien Blue it should keep chugging for a while.

Out of curiousity, what would it take for you to bring it back? Managed security? more cash?
So what is it?
Nomie let you track anything you wanted. You created different trackers like: Drank Coffee, Peed, Smoked Crack - you customized the inputs, then with a single tap could track your life away. Then you could see how the things you track affect one another.
This is literally the app I’ve always wanted and have been looking for for years.

Do you have a recommendation for an alternate app? Im SO DISAPPOINTED at discovering this app only AFTER it shut down that it’s hard to even express. I use “Logsit” right now but there’s no way to track correlations or causation other than annoying CSV data-wrangling. Please tell me you can recommend an alternate app! :)

Just wanted to say thanks for creating the app! When I used it (the first one; I haven't used it for a while) it gave me a new perspective on my life that I hadn't seen previously--mostly focused on gratitude. That change in perspective helped me become a happier person.
