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.
