Around 450,000 people in Switzerland live with an energy-limiting condition (ELC) such as Long Covid or ME/CFS. For them, a seemingly normal day — doing laundry, cooking, a short walk — can trigger Post-Exertional Malaise: days of near-total exhaustion that follow any overexertion.

This May, GitHub featured PersonalAnalytics in their Maintainer Month spotlight: a series celebrating open-source maintainers in academia. I’m honored to be included.
PersonalAnalytics started as my master’s thesis and grew into a tool I use for my own research: a privacy-focused, locally-running app that helps knowledge workers reflect on their work habits — time spent, productivity, and well-being — without sending any data to the cloud. Over the past decade, it has been used in field studies with around 1,500 participants and contributed to more than a dozen peer-reviewed publications.

At the end of January, an online event marked the public launch of MindfulPacer, a new app focused on helping people better understand and manage their available energy in everyday life.
The event included a short introduction to the background of the project, a live demonstration of the app, and an open discussion about practical use cases. Around 65 participants joined the session and contributed questions and feedback during an interactive Q&A.

Hallo zusammen!
Gerne möchte ich die Gelegenenheit nutzen, um (endlich) ein Statusupdate zum MindfulPacer-Projekt zu geben. Dieses ist schon lange überfällig, aber diverse Herausforderungen haben dazu geführt, dass sich dieses mehrmals verzögert hat.
Wie einige vielleicht wissen, ist MindfulPacer Mitte 2023 aus einem Masterprojekt am Institut für Informatik entstanden und die Projektfortsetzung wurde dann Ende 2023 mit dem Postdoc Team Award ausgezeichnet, aufgrund dem interdisziplinären Charakter, welche u.A. Medizin und Informatik beinhaltet. Um die nächsten Projektschritte zu finanzieren, haben wir bei der Digitalisierungsinitiative der Zürcher Hochschule (DIZH) einen kleinen Forschungsantrag gestelt und erhalten. Das Ziel dieses Forschungsbeitrags ist, MindfulPacer zu veröffentlichen und anschliessend die Community einzubinden, um gemeinsam das Projekt voranzutreiben. Nach einem Wechsel in der Co-Projektleitung, wir haben mit Tobias Hoch einen würdigen Ersatz gefunden, und haben im Frühling 2024 mit dem Projekt starten können!

It is with a deep regret that we announce that we will shutdown our beloved service, Picturex. We started Picturex almost five years ago, with a small team of passionate and experienced engineers and IT-professionals at MIT Cloud Innovation AG. Over the years, we have tried to follow our vision of making photo sharing private, secure and easy.
It has been a fantastic journey for us, we have learnt a lot, and we want to THANK YOU, our valued users, supporters, testers and partners, for giving us the opportunity to serve you! 😍
Hello everyone,
it’s with a heavy heart that we share with you the news that TouchMountain will be shutting down on December 31th, 2018.
The past seven years have been an incredible journey for all of us. What started as a university industry project at MIT Cloud Innovation AG shortly after Windows Phone 7.5 launched, quickly grew into an award-winning app, with love and support from almost 70′000 users. Our database stored almost 900′000 different mountains, overall almost 100′000 peaks have been recognized, and the top peaks (Mount Everest, Matterhorn, Rigi, Pilatus) were each recognized thousands of times. We want to say a big THANK YOU to all our users, supporters, testers and sponsors/partners 😍
I am thrilled to announce the first publicly available version of Picturex for Business. Tierpark Goldau, a Swiss landscape and animal park, offers its visitors a unique way to share and exchange the best snapshots they took during their visit at the Tierpark. Also, users of the Tierpark Momente-App can create private photo albums to share their photos in private within their family.

Vor kurzem wurden wir von WindowsArea.de, einer der grössten deutschsprachigen Windows-News-Site, angefragt, ob wir Interesse an einem Interview hätten. André Meyer hat sich sehr gerne dem Interview gestellt und Fragen zu unseren Apps (Picturex, TouchMountain & Co) und der neuen mobilen Strategie mit Microsoft (Stichwort: One Microsoft) beantwortet.
As part of a promotion with MyAppFree, we are offering the full version of TouchMountain for free (instead of 2.99$) today (8th September).
> Download TouchMountain here.
By the way: Right now, we are working on a completely new Live View (Augmented Reality). It will still take 1-2 months until it’s ready; this is why we are offering the current version for free. Everyone who downloads TouchMountain today will of course also get the update for free when it’s ready.
> Do you want to get the update earlier? Register as a Beta-Tester here.
Ein schräger Vogel
Sein Kopf ist fast kahl, bloss ein paar Federn stehen als wirrer Busch vom Haupt ab. Er sieht aus wie ein Wesen aus einer anderen Zeit. Das ist er auch. Vor 350 Jahren starb der Waldrapp bei uns aus. Wollen Sie sehen, wie der Vogel im Tierpark Goldau brütet und seine Küken aufzieht? Dann starten Sie hier die Echtzeitübertragung.
Sie können die Waldrappen auch live von Ihrem Mobiltelefon mit dem obenstehenden Link betrachten. Für Windows Phone und Windows 8.1 haben wir zudem Apps veröffentlicht.
Eine Kooperation von Tierpark Goldau, der Schweizer Familie und der MIT Innovation AG.
