### Description
**Stop Logging. Start Living Intentionally.**
Most time trackers are designed for one thing: billing clients. They are passive stopwatches that treat your day as a list of billable hours.
**Cadence is different.** It is an architectural tool for the Power User who wants to understand not just *how much* they worked, but *how well* they lived. Built with a "Local-First" philosophy using Apple’s latest SwiftData framework, Cadence bridges the gap between rigorous data analysis and mindful living.
### The Core Philosophy
**1. The Gap Theory**
In standard apps, the time you forget to track is invisible. In Cadence, untracked time is a first-class citizen. The app visualizes the "Gaps" in your day—those 15-minute leaks between meetings or the hour lost to doomscrolling. By making the invisible visible, Cadence leverages the "Zeigarnik Effect," gently nudging you to either account for that time or accept it, eliminating unconscious waste.
**2. Interstitial Journaling**
A time entry without context is just a number. Cadence treats **Remarks** as peers to Time Blocks. Add rich, taggable notes *during* an activity to capture your state of mind. "Feeling sluggish," "High energy," or "Blocked by email." Reviewing your day becomes a narrative experience, not just a spreadsheet audit.
### Power User Features
**Automated Context Switching**
Define **Activity Sets** (e.g., "Work," "Personal," "Deep Focus") and schedule them to switch automatically. Cadence adapts to your circadian rhythm, ensuring you track the right habits at the right time without manual fiddling.
**Data Sovereignty**
Your time data is a personal asset. Cadence is built on a strict **Local-First** architecture.
* **Zero Lock-in:** Export your entire timeline to granular CSVs for analysis in Excel, Python, or R.
* **Full Archives:** Generate complete JSON backups of your database, including every remark and setting.
* **Privacy by Design:** We do not have servers. We do not have user accounts. Your data lives on your device and in your iCloud backups.
**Retroactive Resilience**
Forgot to stop a timer? Cadence’s "Retroactive Correction" engine saves battery life by handling background timeouts intelligently. If you leave a timer running and walk away, the app allows you to cleanly truncate the block to a realistic duration upon your return, ensuring your stats remain pristine.
### Feature List
* **Smart Timeline:** Visualizes overlaps, gaps, and activities in a unified stream.
* **Bookend Workflow:** Enforced "Morning Intention" and "Evening Reflection" prompts to frame your day.
* **Tag Analytics:** Analyze your energy levels across different activities (e.g., track #high_energy vs #draining tasks).
* **Conflict Resolution:** Intelligent algorithms detect and help you resolve overlapping or impossible time entries.
* **Haptic Interface:** satisfying, tactile interactions designed for quick entry.
* **Dark Mode:** Fully optimized for late-night reflection.
### Privacy Policy
We believe in total privacy. Cadence contains **no analytics SDKs**, no third-party trackers, and no advertising code. We cannot see your data, and we don't want to.
**Take back control of your day.**
