Instant (app)

Instant is a Quantified Self mobile app for iOS and Android. It tracks the user's phone/app usage, travel, places, fitness and sleep automatically. It puts all this information on a dashboard and gives the user analysed reports based on the data. It is developed by Emberify, founded by Shashwat Pradhan. Instant 4.0 was launched on 13 July 2016 with a Chatbot Coach. The Coach allows users to query data and it also passively analyses the user's trends and correlations.

Instant is a passive journaling app, that automatically journals the user's life with data from the smartphone and sensors. For health and fitness data it can also sync with Google Fit and Apple Health.
