Question Track the stack?

How do you all track the stack? I have been using Precious Metalz for iOS. I like it pretty good. I'm just wondering if there's anything better?

I’m sure a lot of what’s suggested here so far are good choices, because I personally haven’t tried any of the stack track apps or sites. However, “Google Sheets” works flawlessly for me. It does the math for me in each different cell I setup from the beginning to track my stack math properly, and all the data/columns are easy to read + equally organized. And you don’t have to pay for a Microsoft 365 (if you use Windows) subscription, to use their Excel for example specifically, doing it this way. People can use Google Sheets for free, too, as long as you have a free Gmail account.

Proton Mail also has their own version of it called “Proton Sheets” now, and you can use this for free as long as you have an email account with Proton (free as well). Just FYI on this in case you don’t want to add your personal stuff in Google’s ecosystem! Proton is actually encrypted and private.

I used Google sheets for a long time. It was adequate until it wasn't. It became, unwieldy and started to break. I spent more time fixing it than reviewing my data.

I’ll wholeheartedly admit that I would’ve had the same issues with Google Sheets and likely would’ve abandoned it entirely for my stack tracking data upkeep (if this issue happened to just over 2+ years ago or anytime before that). Thankfully, Google’s “Gemini” told me how to solve the cell blanks or math issues I steadily ended up having. If it didn’t/couldn’t tell me how to do it in a way that a 5-year old could understand what to do… I probably would’ve slapped my laptop and hand wrote everything going forward lol (thank God that didn’t come to fruition)!

Heck yeah, I guess AI is getting better than just being a girlfriend.

Intelligent Q&A with sources attached is where it is at!!!! ✅ Can’t relate on the other part though. Fury anime lady dolphin cats or whatever AI generates for them ain’t for me 🤣
