About AIRS - Record your life

AIRS is the most comprehensive lifelogging platform for Android, recording a large variety of phone-internal and attached physiological sensors, such as the Zephyr HxM pulse monitor. Recording such data can serve many purposes, e.g. monitoring your physical activity or memorising your latest holiday (check out http://www.tecvis.co.uk for examples).

You can enjoy your local recordings directly on your mobile with our Storica application (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.storica), processing and visualising the information as engaging digital stories, maps with flyover effects and a context-enriched media gallery.

THIS SOFTWARE IS NO SPYWARE!! You ARE under full control over any data that is gathered!

In local mode, data is stored in a secure SQlite database, while the remote mode connects to your own Windows-based application server. You can download the server from http://sourceforge/projects/nors.

To simplify configuration, AIRS supports templates. You only need to configure once, save the settings as a template and start it from a launcher screen shortcut. You can have different shortcuts for different settings, easily switching recording scenarios! AIRS is battery-optimised, allowing for recording all day, and you can optimise battery consumption through the configuration!

You can find an online manual at http://tecvis.co.uk/software-2/airs/, providing a list of sensors, making permissions more obvious. If you have doubts about any permission, please send us an email instead of rating down or commenting badly - AIRS is NOT a spy-tool!!

The AIRS source code is available at https://github.com/dirktrossen/AIRS where you can inspect how we obtain the data. We also provide developer information at http://tecvis.co.uk/software/airs/developer-information.

A special thanks goes to Dana Pavel (http://dalore.me.uk/Dana/research-areas). She provided invaluable input into major design decisions and included her Java-based desktop software into the AIRS Github distribution. This software parses AIRS text files and inserts the values into a MySQL database on your desktop. With this, you can implement own visualizations!

There is no save as template button for me. Otherwise, exactly what I want in a logging app.

C70%

There is no access to the address for the remote server download

M70%
by M####:

Storica doesn't record or display all the sensors that this does, so I'd really like to keep using this until Storica has all the sensors.

But it can't use my Polar H7 hrm, so for my purpose, it's only a 3 star app. I view my body as a machine and not being able to monitor hr is like not having a tachometer on a Ferrari. Simply ridiculous, and since the Polar H7 is such a popular device, I can't imagine why it's been omitted. Please add it.

Will be interesting to see how the massive amount of information I can record with this app applies to my overall health and mood over time. The ability to mark events and moods easily with the home screen widgets is incredibly helpful for that purpose.

That's a cool application that unifies the reading of sensor values. You can enable or disable any sensor data and adjust all available parameters. No data leave the device!
