Dayta is a full-featured data tracking application for iPhone that was developed by Sahil Lavingia during the One Week App event, in which he managed to successfully create the app from scratch and submit to Apple’s approval. We covered the app here.
Dayta can keep track of any kind of data you throw into the database. Be it your kill ratio on Halo, how many apps you’ve downloaded this week or how many times your girlfriend told you to get a life, Dayta can keep track of this data and visualize it through a nice graph UI. The latest 2.0 version (a free upgrade for existing users) comes back after many months of silence and introduces full support for iOS 4 and the Retina Display. I tested the app on iOS 4.2 beta and it works just fine (small issue with the graph UI cose button aside).
Dayta 2.0 also comes with a lot of new features, besides OS optimizations: you can now search and filter, consolidate by day, sort items within folders, share datapoints via Twitter (although I really can’t imagine why you’d want to, your call here), possibility to move logs around. Lots of bug fixes and enhancements, too.
If you’re looking for an easy to use, nice looking yet powerful way to keep track of…anything, Dayta is still $1.99 in the App Store. This 2.0 version is pretty good.
