Best app for aquariums?

[Ophy]

Hi all! Do you use an app or site to track your aquarium chemical tests, water changes, adding plants/livestock, etc. that you really like?
My severe inattentive ADHD makes it really challenging to remember to do things and I feel like an app would be super helpful.

The only thing I do on a regular basis is changing water. If I do it weekly then I pick one day a week, say every Sunday to do it. If it's every 2 weeks then the first day and the 15th of the month. If I can't remember that, then I'd set the alarm on the phone to remind me every week or every fortnight. If I was a person who'd ignores the alarms then I'd go the old fashioned way by sticking the schedule on each tank to remind me.
If I was a person who'd ignore all the above, then an app probably wouldn't hep either as the chances are that I'd just ignore the app too. That said, I'm not sure if there's an app for that.
Hope that your tank goes well and the fish are happy.

Edit: I use Excel to keep track of everything else, fish purchases, equipment, etc.

A note on the tank is a great idea, i didn't even think about that.

As shamefully low tech as it sounds, in my fishroom full of tanks, I use an old school whiteboard. If I did it on an app, it was the same process except I had to remember to open the app to check it. I'd rather glance at something. It's surprising how often I figure I have a few days before I need to do anything, but look and a quick calculation says a week has passed. I don't do maintenance on the same day every week, but get it done between 7 to 10 days when I'm busy. That seems to be often.

I use a notepad app on my phone for Water changes or future shopping lists.

I have a sheet of paper held on the side of the fridge with magnets for water changes and an old fashioned paper notebook for everything else.

I find the best app is a pen and piece of paper. It never needs charging and works even when there is a week long power outage.

Just change water weekly, feed fish daily. No app needed. When establishing a new tank I do keep a log in Excel but that is on my desktop. I like to work with a real keyboard.
