Tap Yes or No. Your answer appears as an icon in the summary and counts toward the habits chart in Progress.

Labels are fixed. For custom labels or emojis use a single choice with two options.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 1

Offer one choice from a set of tiles or from a list with descriptions. Tiles can span one, two or three columns. Formanza saves the option's value and shows its label in the summary. Progress plots the choices in order on a step chart.

Each option has a stored value and a shown label (e.g. value sad, label 😢) plus an optional detail. The options' order of magnitude (ascending or descending) drives the chart.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 1 (value and label since 2)

Give each point on a scale a label. The first and last points can also have captions to explain what the ends mean. Formanza saves the option's value and shows its label in the summary. Progress plots the choices in order on a step chart.

Up to 10 options.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 10

Scroll through one option at a time on a wheel. This works well for long lists. Formanza saves the option's value and shows its label in the summary. Progress plots the choices in order on a step chart.

Proposes the first option when there is no answer. Never auto-advances.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 10

Select several options from tiles or a list of checkboxes. The summary lists your chosen labels. Progress shows how often you selected each option.

Tiles or list only. No auto-advance. An empty selection counts as unanswered.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 2

Write a single line or a longer note. A placeholder and character count help you fill in the field. The summary shows up to two lines of your answer. Text fields do not have a chart.

1 to 2000 characters. Autocorrection on.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 1

Choose a field for an email address, phone number or web address. Formanza shows the appropriate keyboard and turns off autocorrection. Formanza checks the format when you save.

The check is deliberately lenient (a shape check, not a validation service). A wrong shape is shown in red and blocks the save. One line only.

In the app

Check-in

Take a photo or choose one from Photos. Tap Remove photo to clear the field. Formanza stores the image at up to 1,600 pixels on its longest side along with a thumbnail. Tap a thumbnail in Progress to open the full photo.

Never prefilled from another day. No goals, no auto-advance. The camera needs the camera permission and does not exist in the simulator. Photos opens the system picker and needs no permission.

In the app

Check-in

TestFlight

Build 9

Give each picture a name, such as Front or Side. Tap its tile to take a photo, select one from Photos or remove it. The summary displays up to three thumbnails and a count of any remaining photos. Progress groups photos by name so you can follow each view over time.

At least two named photos, names up to 24 characters. One photo is enough to count the screen as answered, required or not. The empty tiles stay as gaps.

Tap the plus button and name your form. It starts active and prompts you to add the first screen. You can rename the form or swipe to delete it with confirmation.

Forms are listed by title. A form without screens waits in Settings and does not appear in Check-in or Progress. The last form cannot be deleted. Deleting a form keeps the answers of its screens in the day records.

TestFlight

Build 9 (rename 1)

Use the Active switch in each form to choose which forms appear in Check-in and Progress. You can use several at once.

Build 10

Add, edit, reorder (“Edit”) and remove screens (“Remove”, with confirmation).

Removing a screen that has goals, or that a calculated value reads, asks once and removes them together. The screen's earlier answers stay stored but are no longer shown. A form left without screens stops being usable.

Save a number with its unit or a date under Settings › Data. Give it a name, then use it in formulas across forms without entering it again.

Names up to 40 characters. Dates from 1900 and not in the future. The type is chosen when the value is created. Removing a value that formulas read asks once and removes those calculated values and their goals, in every form. Not a user profile: the app keeps no profile.

Use the formula keypad to combine number fields, fixed data, other calculated values and numbers. It supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, powers and parentheses. Tap a piece of the formula to insert or delete, or hold and drag it to move it.

Free unit and 0 to 3 decimals. While you build it, the footer shows the result with your latest record, or names the chip that is out of place. Division by zero or an impossible root gives no value. No functions yet (square root, rounding, minimum, maximum) and no conditions. The app ships no templates of any domain.

Build 5

Divide a number field or calculated value into ranges. Give every range a label and stored value, then set where each range begins.

At least two ranges. Exactly one has no lower bound and takes everything below. Bounds are inclusive and unique. “Use the clothing sizes by weight (M to 4XL)” fills the factory clothing sizes. A range with a goal keeps its value.

In the app

Settings › Forms › form › Calculated values

TestFlight

Build 4

Calculated values behave like screens: shown in the day summary under “Calculated values”, in the history detail, as a preview under the number while you type, and as a Progress card right after what they read. They can carry goals.

Never stored: they are computed every time from the day's answers. A calculated value cannot be the highlighted summary value, and its rows show no change against the previous day. A missing data value leaves it empty, and the card says so.

In the app

Check-in, Progress, Settings

TestFlight

Build 4

Dependencies are protected: a screen or a data value that a calculated value reads cannot be removed without it. The screen's type and unit are locked. Removing a calculated value removes the ones that read it and their goals.

Build 4

Choose a number field or calculated value, enter a target, and add a deadline if you want one.

Met as soon as a record from the start day reaches the target, going down or up from the start value. Progress is the share of the distance covered. “Not achieved” once the deadline passes. The target must be inside the screen's range. Met is final, even if the value moves back.

In the app

Settings › Forms › form › Goals

Build 2

Choose a yes or no question or a choice field. Select the answer to count and the number of days you want to repeat it.

Each day of the window counts as met, not met or unrecorded. “Achieved” with the N days, “Not achieved” once the window ends. A failed day only subtracts, it does not cancel the goal. An unrecorded day can still be completed by editing it.

In the app
