Beta Updates

A major update with a complete UI redesign, improved nutrient logging, faster AI, and new ways to track cause and effect.

• Complete UI Redesign — Fresh, cleaner interface throughout the app
• Updated Nutrient Logging — Improved tracking experience
• Submission Success Screen — Clear confirmation when entries are saved
• Faster AI Responses — Reduced LLM inference times
• Simplified Dashboard — Focus on what matters
• New Charts — Better data visualization
• Inputs & Outputs — New way to track cause and effect

Smarter extraction with on-device NLP, a refined timeline, manual corrections and event creation, and voice entry. Changes since v0.3 (March 2026).

Extraction and NLP

• Concise action summaries — The dependency parser ONNX model is now bundled into the app, so actions like "played with sera for 90 minutes" show as "Played with Sera" instead of the full sentence
• Better compound food matching — "Cherry tomatoes" and "baked beans" no longer split into separate items. Multi-word FDC lookups now strip modifiers (raw, cooked) for better scoring
• Meal deduplication — Saying "had lunch" no longer creates both a meal and a duplicate action event
• Smarter extraction timing — Completed sentences extract after 150ms, trailing fragments wait 1.5s (up from 150ms for everything). No more mid-sentence extraction flicker

Timeline

• Lane overlap fix — Events that used to stack on top of each other now pack correctly into side-by-side columns. The layout engine works in pixel space now, so clamped durations and minimum card heights are properly accounted for
• Short events look short — A 5-minute event no longer takes the same vertical space as a 2-hour one. Adaptive minimum heights based on event duration
• Typing velocity fade — The timeline dims slightly while you're mid-sentence and resolves when extraction completes

Corrections

• Manual time editing — You can now adjust start time and duration directly in the correction panel
• "Use as-is" for custom foods — If the FDC match doesn't look right, keep your original name and it saves to your personal dictionary
• Manual event creation — Add events to the timeline that weren't extracted from text (supplements you forgot to mention, etc)

Voice Entry

• Speech recognizer service — Dictate journal entries instead of typing. macOS, microphone permission requested on first use

Settings and Data

• Personalization settings view — New dedicated settings panel for customizing your experience
• Delete All My Data — One-click data deletion button in settings
• 90-day auto-cleanup — Diagnostic logs are now automatically cleaned up after 90 days

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 — Tinh 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. Tinh 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

Tinh 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 Tinh 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.
