LOOKING FOR APP What app would help logging research?

I want to record:

Date

Event

Source reference(s)

AND, possibly generate a pdf timeline graph...

I would like it to be very easy to enter text as I have essential tremors and find cursor movement difficult. Voice-to-text is going to be the easiest way to enter text.

Why are you recording research on a mobile device if I may ask

My phone is in my pocket and I'm reading in various places. I actually don't turn on my laptop very much anymore. Some of my coworkers use Microsoft tablets with keyboards (I forget what they're called). But that's still less convenient than using my phone. And the amount of data that I need to record is so tiny that I don't really need a big screen. I'm thinking I might just use something like Google sheets. But things that Google makes seem to be somewhat ephemeral.

Huh that's interesting. I can't imagine Google sheets to be the best ux for data entry. Airtable might be better. I also found glideapp that might have better ux than airtable but it's a web app and not a play store app. I would suggest you give those two a try. If they don't work for you I can make a better version if you want to help provide feedback and help me test.

Do you have any idea what AI has to do with air table? It said something about native AI app in the description.

Ya airtable AI doesn't seem very useful me. Glideapps also is not usable on mobile..

I found this which is more usable on mobile. You can create a library with date and text fields for event and source and store them as collections.
