A public record of what changed, why it matters, and the limits that remain.
Desktopv0.1.4
The AI goal coach, on the Mac
Product changes
A daily and weekly coaching note on the Mac dashboard, written from your own ledger
The note is generated each morning on its own — there’s nothing to click
It reads your patterns over time rather than reacting to the latest number
For your privacy
The coach runs only after you explicitly opt in to AI processing — without it, nothing is generated
It receives aggregates only: categories, durations, and your own typed goal — never window titles or raw activity
Known limitation: This historical release is withdrawn from public download: its packaged backend URLs prevent sign-in and sync. A corrected Mac installer has not been verified.
Desktopv0.1.3
The Time Ledger comes to Mac and web
Product changes
The Mac app and the web dashboard both became the Time Ledger, matching iPhone
Onboarding starts with what an hour of your time is worth, so the ledger can price it
A shareable weekly card, “Share this week” on the desktop, and referrals — give a month, get a month
Pricing updated for the Time Ledger release; current web and Apple prices are shown at purchase
For your privacy
Trigger-only database functions locked down so they can’t be called directly
An analytics privacy fix, and a honeypot on the waitlist to keep bots out
Known limitation: Apple Silicon only — Windows still isn’t available.
Web
The science of focus, and proof surfaces
Product changes
A research-backed Science of Focus page, plus For Students, Examples, and a How-it-works methodology page
Interactive surfaces: an evidence carousel of eight peer-reviewed studies, a “same four hours” study-day comparison, and example daily reports
For your privacy
An interactive privacy field inspector — click anything and see exactly how far it travels
A “verified by Apple” explainer and a plain-language security posture breakdown
Known limitation: These pages describe the product; the macOS app remains Apple-Silicon-only for now.
Desktopv0.1.2
Menu-bar identity & first-run welcome
Product changes
A menu-bar mark and a popover showing your avatar and identity
A first-run welcome screen so it’s always clear when a session is on
For your privacy
The DMG is branded and notarized, so you can verify what you downloaded
Known limitation: Windows isn’t available yet.
Desktopv0.1.1
App icon & download page
Product changes
A proper macOS app icon
A download page with version, size, and clear install steps
Desktopv0.1.0
First signed & notarized release
Product changes
The first downloadable FocusMirror for macOS, on Apple Silicon
Private, metadata-only session tracking, working end to end
For your privacy
Signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple
Window titles never leave your device; the upload schema can’t carry one
Known limitation: Apple Silicon only — there’s no Intel build.
Web
About, Contact, and the legal pages
Product changes
An About page — why a work journal must answer to you, not your boss
For your privacy
A Contact page with a dedicated security & privacy disclosure channel (+ security.txt)
A binding Privacy Policy naming every sub-processor and exactly what each receives
Plain-language Terms with a single-user, no-surveillance rule baked in
Desktop
Weeks 3–4 — Capture, privately
Product changes
Menu-bar app with live tray states and quit-mid-session recovery
Offline queue: airplane-mode hours sync fully on reconnect
For your privacy
On-device exclusion engine — EHR software and credential managers excluded by default; private title-keyword rules never leave your device
Activity coalesced into time ranges on-device; the upload schema structurally cannot carry a window title
Web
Week 2 — Accounts & live dashboard
Product changes
Sign in with email + password or magic link
Today dashboard, session detail with check-in summaries, and daily review pages
For your privacy
An automated row-level-security test proving one account can never see another’s data
Foundations
Week 1 — Foundations
Product changes
The nine activity categories and their classification contracts
This site, and the waitlist you can join from it
For your privacy
Database schema with the privacy hard rules built in: no title column exists, cascading hard deletes with an audit trail
