Track Where Your Focus Actually Goes
Ask anyone how they spent last week and you'll get a story. Ask their focus stats and you'll get the truth. The two rarely match — and the gap between them is where schedules get fixed.
What gets recorded
Every Mira session lands in the log with its category, focus minutes, break minutes and session count for the day. You never enter anything manually — running the timer is the data entry, which is the only reason time-tracking ever survives contact with real life.
Reading the Stats tab
- Overview cards: lifetime hours, total sessions, and days used — the long-arc numbers that make consistency visible.
- Stacked charts: daily bars split by category color, switchable across Week / Month / Year. The shape tells stories the totals can't: the empty Thursdays, the weekend writing habit, the month coding quietly ate.
- Top categories: your focus portfolio in percentages — the quickest answer to “is my time going where my priorities are?”
Categories are the lens
Nine built-ins cover the usual suspects — Studying, Working, Coding, Writing, Research, Creativity, Reading, Organizing, Housework — and custom categories (your name, your color) cover everything else. The granularity you pick determines the questions you can answer: one “Work” bucket answers “how much?”, while “Client A / Client B / Admin” answers “for whom?” — which is the question that changes invoices.
Turning charts into changes
- Audit against intent. Decide what the top three categories should be, then check the board weekly. Drift is normal; unnoticed drift is the problem.
- Find your golden hours. The week view shows which days produce; schedule your hardest category there instead of fighting your own pattern.
- Watch the ratio, not just the total. Lots of sessions with few minutes means fragmentation — consider longer intervals. Long minutes in a category you resent means it's time to renegotiate that commitment.
- Keep score gently. A Weekly Activity widget on the home screen keeps the chart in view — most people focus more just from seeing the bars grow.
Privacy note: this is a diary of your working life — and it stays on your device. No account, no server profile, no analytics dashboard of you somewhere else. The stats answer to exactly one person.
