Features & Capabilities

Buttons is an app for constructing and using custom single purpose macro keyboards.

Typical uses might be field notes, research or hobbies like birding.

Rotate iPhone to landscape to see a log in large text. This is useful when you want to display a message to another person.

You can use buttons if you have a variety of similar things that need to be recorded multiple times and you want to know exactly when and where you recorded that event.

Once you construct a keyboard you can use it to record events that you are interested in with a minimum of friction. Each event is tagged with time and location and can be output in several well known formats; KML, GPX and CSV.

Each button can contain more text than is printed on the label. For example a button labelled "C-Milk" might log "Delicious Chocolate Milk" to the event.

Your keyboards can be exported and be easily distributed to a team of people so that everyone is using the same format.

Really hope this product hasnt been forgotten. It’s been so handy for tracking timing for home births and other birthy scenarios. I have one man glitch coming up, and a few minor ones or at least things that could be polished up. But the main one being selecting colors for the buttons is not functioning. No slides. Can’t select other colors. Just a variety of red hues. Please please continue this product and bettering it! It’s so useful!!

I used this to track my times while working EMS. it worked great on my watch and made it super easy to track times. But it stopped working on the watch. I would give it 5 stars if the watch app worked again.

This app is beautiful in its simplicity and its ability to be customized for whatever purpose you have. Our older dog is having issues with incontinence and regularity, and I needed a reliable way to track her eliminations. I can help her by making sure she gets outside before too much time passes. After a long search, I was about to give up, but then I stumbled across this app, and it’s perfect! I can launch it from my Apple Watch, and with just a tap or two, I have created a log entry that includes what she did, what time, and exactly where we were. I can even pull everything up on a map. It’s everything I wanted, and more. I’m already trying to think up other keyboards I can create!
