MEL - Muuuh's Event Logger
I use MEL to log frequency of mating calls of different frog species in a pond or to track scenery changes in documentaries I watch. However, its use isn't limited to these examples. This app is a simple yet versatile tool for logging events along a timeline. Please share with the community how you are using this app.
About MEL - Muuuh's Event Logger
Muuuh's Event Logger is now available for beta testing. Use this link on your iOS device to download and test the app: Public Beta
This iOS app allows users to record precise timestamps for up to three different events. Timestamps of a recording session are saved in a file which can be exported in JSON, Markdown or Text format.
I developed this app because I needed a handy tool in the field to log events while observing animals. Despite searching through available apps, I couldn’t find anything that came close to what I was looking for.
The core elements of this iOS app are a simple screen to record timestamps of fast-paced events and the export in Markdown format for storing the data in Obsidian Note.
App Development
This iOS app was developed using Cursor AI and Xcode. While Cursor AI was very helpful in the initial stages, as the app's complexity increased, code generation based on text input became tedious and frustrating.
