# SliderTracker

> Visual slider-based tracking for moods, pain levels, and intensity values

## Overview

SliderTracker provides a visual slider interface for logging values on a scale. Perfect for subjective measurements where picking from a range is more intuitive than typing a number.

<Info>
  SliderTracker is ideal for mood tracking, pain scales, energy levels, and any 1-10 type measurement.

| **Visual Style** | Colors, emojis, or icons along scale |
| **Note Field**   | Enable optional text note            |

## Examples

## Visualization

SliderTracker automatically generates:

* **Trend line charts** showing values over time
* **Average calculations** (daily, weekly, monthly)
* **Pattern detection** (best/worst days of week)
* **Correlation hints** (via Ask Peanuts)

## Voice Input

You can also log via voice:

* "Mood is 7 today"
* "Pain level 4, lower back"
* "Energy at 8 this morning"

These cost 9 credits (voice) vs 0-1 for manual slider input.
