"Your life's personal dashboard."
Reportr is a complete application which works like a dashboard for tracking events in your life (using a very simple API). With a simple interface, it helps you track and display your online activity or your real-life activity (with hardware trackers or applications like Runkeeper), some trackers are available on this organization.
The project is entirely open source and you can host your own Reportr instance on your own server or Heroku.
Reportr is really easy to run locally or on heroku-compatible services.
$ git clone https://github.com/Reportr/dashboard.git
$ npm install .
To run it locally, you should use foreman (configuration can be stored in a .env file):
$ foreman start
To deploy it on Heroku:
$ heroku config:set MONGODB_URL=mongodb://...
$ heroku config:set AUTH_USERNAME=...
$ heroku config:set AUTH_PASSWORD=...
$ git push heroku master
Reportr uses an HTTP REST API to track events. Datas are always JSON encoded.

See types for informations about alert configurations.
An event represent something to monitor at a defined date. For example if I'm monitoring the temperature in my home, I'll post an event home.temperature with a property temp:
$ curl -X POST --data '{ "type":"home.temperature", "properties": { "temperature": 66 } }' http://localhost:5000/api/events
A visualization is a configured way to show data, for example in a pie, bar chart or time graph.
| Type | Description |
|---|
Visualizations accept templates as most of rendering options. Template are processed using lodash's _.template method with some special functions:
$.date(date): returns a beautiful date
Reportr lets you configure alerts to be triggered when specific condition is valid at a specific interval.
| Type | Description | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| webhook | Post an HTTP request to a specific url with the data encoded in the body | |
| Send an email notification | <string>MAIL_SERVICE, <string>MAIL_USERNAME, <string>MAIL_PASSWORD, <string>MAIL_FROM |
|
| sms | Send a text message notification | <string>TWILIO_SID, <string>TWILIO_TOKEN, <string>TWILIO_FROM |
Condition for alerts are really easy to write, for example: COUNT > 9, this condition will be valid if at least 10 events have been posted in the alert interval. Conditions can also use the event object, for example: event.temperature > 80.

Reportr can easily be scaled on Heroku (and compatibles), use the REDIS_URL to enable a task queue between workers and web processes.
