SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many apps lack a lightweight, privacy-preserving way to show users their activity, trends, and milestones without sending event data to a backend. This Skill provides a local-first system to record user events, compute meaningful insights, and surface them in an accessible dashboard so users can understand and celebrate their usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • On-device event recording using SwiftData models for privacy-first analytics and optional batching for performance.
  • Computation engine (InsightCalculator) that derives totals, streaks, most active periods, top categories, and duration summaries with calendar-aware period math.
  • SwiftUI dashboard & visualizations including insight cards, period pickers, Swift Charts integration, and an optional shareable recap image for weekly/monthly/yearly summaries.
  • Use Case: Add a "My Insights" screen that shows a weekly recap, streaks, and top categories computed locally from recorded UsageEvent objects.

Quick Start

Generate a weekly, on-device insights dashboard using SwiftData events, SwiftUI views, and the provided templates to render cards and a shareable recap.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an on-device usage insights dashboard with SwiftData and SwiftUI?

Create on-device usage insights by recording events with SwiftData models and rendering SwiftUI dashboard views with Swift Charts. An InsightCalculator engine derives totals, streaks, and top categories locally for privacy-first analytics.

Can I generate weekly recap screens and shareable images using Swift Charts?

Yes, you can generate weekly recap screens and shareable images using SwiftUI and Swift Charts. The system renders period-based summary cards and optional recap images for weekly, monthly, or yearly activity summaries directly on-device.

Does this local analytics approach work with iOS 17 and macOS 14 applications?

Yes, this local analytics approach works with iOS 17, macOS 14, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS applications. It targets Swift 5.9+ and uses SwiftData with SwiftUI to present dashboards, cards, and charts across Apple platforms.

What is the best way to compute user streaks and active periods without a backend?

Compute user streaks and active periods without a backend by using a pure InsightCalculator with calendar-aware period math. It processes local UsageEvent objects to derive duration summaries, most active periods, and top categories on-device.

How do I batch SwiftData writes for high-frequency usage event recording?

Batch SwiftData writes for high-frequency usage event recording by applying optional batching during local event logging. This reduces write overhead and improves performance when tracking many UsageEvent objects on-device for privacy-first analytics.
