iTakeNotice is a logbook for tracking repetitive events. Using a quick-entry system (no typing is required), you can record an event in seconds. A simple yet powerful filtering interface allows you to review your logbook entries individually, as well as view tallies and summaries.

For instance, I just got a new puppy and I've been keeping track of every time he pees in the house, every time he obeys a command, and every time we take a walk (and how many minutes we walked). Once I set up the app with that information, I could easily enter events as they happened. Now I can answer the following kinds of questions:

- How many times did he obey a command in the last month? In the last year?
- When was the last time he peed in the house? Did he pee in the house in October last year?
- How many minutes total have we walked in the past week?

Of course, iTakeNotice is not specifically for puppy training. Because you decide how to set up your logbook, you can track any series of repeating events. Here are just a few contexts in which it can be used:

- Personal habits
- Hospital patient care
- Student behavior for conduct grades
- Parenting
- Research studies
- Tech support
- Coaching
- Pregnancy and postnatal

It's possible to track not just one of these things, but all at the same time, because iTakeNotice lets you group items according to context.

When you want to look through your logbook to see the data you've accumulated, iTakeNotice's filter interface helps you to narrow down your question. You may focus on a particular person, context or event, or any combination, as well as set a time interval. Two views (summary and detail) let you get at your data either with a birds-eye view or a detailed list containing each individually dated entry. Export via email is available, so you can do advanced charting and analysis with any spreadsheet application.
