'''One Button Trackers''' are small hardware devices that record discrete observations on the press of the button by recording when the button was pressed, and typically also for how long (and in same cases also how hard it has been pressed). Different versions of this device exist, a first prototype was created by [https://tottilabs.com/ TOTTI Labs]. And [[User:Gedankenstuecke|Gedankenstuecke]] adapted the [[Puck.js]] by writing some small software that turns the device it into a One Button Tracker.

This device is still in the prototype phase and is not for sale through any normal channel. The TOTTI Labs people might be able to provide one if asked, but a lack of access routes remains a barrier to using their one-button.

The [[Flic button|Flic buttons]] are commercially available, closed-source smart buttons that can be used for a range of tasks<ref>https://flic.io/</ref> and that has three distinct button presses that can be mapped to functions: short press, long press, double-press. The main focus of the manufacturer seems to be on "smart homes", the buttons can also be connected to a phone via bluetooth and button presses can trigger actions on the phone.

Through [[Apps for automation and integration|automation services like IFTTT]], a Flic button can be used to write button presses to a Google Sheet<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantifiedSelf/comments/vu74jo/comment/ifc9eul/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>. The Flic button requires to have a Bluetooth connection to the phone for this approach to work.
