[Akrasia](https://akrasia.on.csu.io/) - "Integrations for Beeminder"

[Baby Got Bonus: Beeminding Your Way to Awesome](https://www.graysonbraymorris.com/baby-got-bonus/) #article - "Way back in November of 2014, I discovered a productivity tool that would turn out to actually work for me. And more than just work: it’s been amazing. It’s helping me [achieve goals I’ve had for decades](https://www.beeminder.com/grayson)—goals I always abandoned, time after time after time, when the first flush of enthusiasm waned. Here’s a major part of the reason why."

[Beeminder API](https://api.beeminder.com/#beeminder-api-reference)

[Beeminder](https://www.beeminder.com/home) #webapp - "Your goals can be anything quantifiable — weight, pushups, minutes spent on Facebook, points on Duolingo. Answer with your number when Beeminder asks — or connect a device/app below to auto-report — and we'll show your progress and a Yellow Brick Road to follow to stay on track. If you go off track, you pledge money to stay on the road the next time. If you go off track again, we charge you."

[Beemind.me](https://beemind.me/) - "This app complements [Beeminder](http://beeminder.com/) by adding more automatic data sources.\
Check the list below to see what is currently supported."

[Nifty trick for “days I did this other goal” goals](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/nifty-trick-for-days-i-did-this-other-goal-goals/1175) #thread - "I made a new IFTTT recipe. If a datapoint is added to weight\_loss, add a datapoint of 1 to weigh\_days. Then, go into weigh\_days, turn it into a custom goal, and set the aggregation to “binary”. This means that no matter how many times I weigh in in one day, the day will have a value of 1 if I add data, and a value of 0 if I do not–and it’s all completely automatic!"

[Stream Deck](https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck) - Physical dashboard that could perhaps be set up for posting data points to Beeminder.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://brain.nathanarthur.com/behavior-change/akrasia/beeminder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
