Beta Updates

A major update with a visual redesign, significantly smarter extraction, new insights tools, Apple Health integration, and native subscriptions. Changes since Beta 1 (January 21, 2026).

Visual Redesign

• New design system — Clean, sharp aesthetic with a focus on clarity and density: flat cards, vertical swim-lane timeline, always-visible entry dock
• New typeface — Switched to IBM Plex Sans for a more precise, readable feel across the entire app
• Custom icon set — 17 purpose-built geometric line icons replacing generic system icons
• Refined animations — Smoother transitions throughout the timeline and correction panels

Smarter Extraction

• More accurate categorization — Significantly reduced mis-categorized entries across all categories: food, exercise, supplements, and actions
• Better exercise recognition — Improved detection of bodyweight exercises, calisthenics, compound movements, and everyday physical activities like cycling and stretching
• Expanded food vocabulary — Added dozens of common foods that were previously missed
• Meal grouping — Solo food items can now be grouped into meals for cleaner logging
• People and places — Loggr now picks up mentions of people and places from your entries
• Faster processing — Caching improvements for snappier extraction as you type

Time Detection

• Much more accurate time parsing — Correctly interprets written-out times ("seven thirty", "around nine"), time ranges ("from 2 to 4pm"), 24-hour notation, and ambiguous AM/PM situations
• Smarter AM/PM inference — Uses context from your day structure to resolve ambiguous times

Insights and Analytics

• New Insights tab — Explore your data with heatmaps, trends, and pattern analysis
• Weather correlations — See how weather conditions relate to your habits
• Apple Health integration — Pull in data from Apple Health for richer correlations

Corrections and Editing

• Inline corrections panel — Edit extractions directly from the timeline without switching views
• "Add to meal" action — Quickly group standalone food items into a meal
• Exercise corrections — Fixed issues where exercise edits weren't saving properly
• Delete entries — You can now delete entries from the logbook

Subscriptions

• Native subscriptions — Replaced the old license system with native App Store subscriptions via StoreKit 2

Security

• App lock — Optional app lock to keep your health data private

Onboarding

• Updated onboarding flow — Refreshed first-launch experience

Under the Hood

• Major codebase cleanup — Decomposed large components, removed ~4,000 lines of dead code, improved data integrity and concurrency safety
• Expanded test coverage — Significantly larger test dataset for more reliable extraction quality
• Diagnostics export — New diagnostics export for troubleshooting

A complete rebuild from the ground up. Loggr v0.2 is now a native Swift application with real-time data extraction that's orders of magnitude faster than before.

Real-Time Data Extraction

The new extraction engine processes your entries as you type, with dramatic performance improvements.

• Instant feedback — See categories appear in real-time as you write, under a second per sentence
• 20 seconds per entry — Full entry processing now takes ~20 seconds, down from 5-8 minutes in previous versions
• No LLM required — The new ML models run entirely on-device without requiring a large language model

Full Swift Rebuild

Loggr has been completely rewritten as a native macOS application for better performance and tighter system integration.

• Native performance — Faster startup, lower memory usage, smoother animations
• Better macOS integration — Native menus, keyboard shortcuts, and system features

Redesigned Corrections UI

A completely new interface for correcting and refining how Loggr categorizes your entries.

• Inline corrections — Fix categorizations directly where they appear
• Smarter learning — Corrections now propagate more effectively to future entries

Expanded Analytics

• New temporal analysis — Understand when and how often things happen with improved timing visualizations
• 128 custom variables — Now supports up to 128 input variables and 128 outcome variables for comprehensive tracking

Visual overhaul, smarter correlation analysis, and rebuilt submission experience with security improvements.

Dashboard Redesign

• New card layout — Reorganized Journal tab with Inputs/Outputs in a cleaner two-column layout
• Improved navigation — Updated sidebar with custom brand icons
• Full dark mode — Proper color scheme across all screens

Enhanced Correlation Analysis

• Presence mode — Ask "Do I feel better on days when I do this at all?" vs. amount-based analysis
• Improved food correlations — More reliable results with increased sample requirements
• Exercise integration — Exercise correlations now available with duration/presence toggles

Bug Fixes

• Fixed setup wizard navigation loop
• Toggle switch states now persist correctly on page load
• Fixed LLM processing hanging in local mode
• Corrected nutrient aggregation

Initial beta release with core journaling, correlation analysis, nutrition tracking, and privacy-first architecture.
