Reloading Application to Document the Reloading Process

[22s_inxs]

I've been going through my reloading notes and data and finding I have data recorded in various mediums (hand written, excel, notepad applications, etc.). I'm mostly in excel now with my info and that is great for data but is lacking when you want notes or some process flow. My use-case is that I'd love some application to track my reloading process. I've reviewed some of the existing applications (Hornady Reloading, RCBS, VihtavuoriReload, ReLOADeD, GUNR, HodgdonReloading, reloadingstudio.com). Most of these provide load data or some way to track your final loads but lack detail in the process itself. reloadingstudio.com has some interesting stuff, at least you can log that you sized your brass and how you did it but still isn't enough for what I'd like to do.

My question is, is anyone familiar with a reloading application that allows you to input your reloading and all it's detailed steps in a meaningful way?
For example here are some things I'd be looking for at a high level:
list steps and chronological order of everything in a reloading cycle (e.g. size, brass prep steps, cleaning, annealing, priming, powder, seating, crimping)
be able to record various measurements and include them in the steps (e.g. pre and post measure to datum on sizing)
notes on equipment needed and used (e.g. used this bushing, used this seating stem, annealer setup/settings)

Since there isn't a bullet proof process cast in stone, I doubt there is an app that follows it.

Not an application, but I made this reloading card in Excel (where I keep my load records and even printable targets). Its just another tab.

Documents my process and marks where I'm at by adding a slash in the box when complete. That way when I come back to brass 6+ months later I don't rely on my memory to know if I already sized or not, etc.

Easy to modify with your process. I print them and each box of brass gets a card.

Once each of the 5 loads has a slash in it, I go back with another slash to make an X. 10 size/loads per card. Simply add more cards to that brass if needed. Great way to keep track

Great cards, I have thought about making one myself but havent gotten around to it yet.

Everybody has their own eccentricities - possibly forever adding / removing steps / fields.

You’ll really have to roll your own.

I personally print four 4.25” x 5.5” quarter sheets at the most - not more than that because I’ll likely be unhappy with what I have by then and would want to have something changed.

Minimizes waste that way.

Not exactly a reloading step list but I use the free alpha munition file to track my measurements

For keeping my various in progress work doc'd I made a quick sheet in word, exported to pdf and got post-it pads printed at vistaprint.com - next time around I'll refine it a bit but it works
