Chronicy

Chronicy is the new standard in task management. With the help of Chronicy you can track your progress in supported situations automatically. This means there is no need for manually recording your progress when working or playing. Chronicy does it automatically for you, removing the annoyance of classic productivity applications, that required you to spend more time recording how productive you were instead of actually working.

How Does it Work?

Chronicy features a three-component model, in order to most efficiently track your activity. The three core parts of Chronicy are:

  • A background service that listens for changes and raises events
  • Extensions that allow third party application to register their progress in the Chronicy system
  • A GUI application that allows you to communicate with the Chronicy system. This is what gives a normal user the possibility to log custom data and configure the application

Chronicy features both local storage and cloud storage. This way, you can store your data locally or share it between your devices. The data is stored securely in a structured database for both the local app and the cloud service.

Features

  • Tracking your actions in supported applications via extensions
  • Automatic insertion of daily activities into your application
  • Modern, fluid user interface
  • Safe storage of your data inside a database
  • Low memory footprint
  • Efficient, bother-free operation

Things That Inspired Chronicy

  • GitHub's project boards - This has been the main point of inspiration for the stack based, board-like workflow
  • SpotifyAPI-NET - Chronicy uses a modified implementation of the client-side API
  • AspNetCore.Docs - The Chronicy website uses a view controller-based CRUD implementation similar to the one defined by Microsoft in their AspNetCore documentation sample code. Also, the user authentication system is based on Microsoft's ASP.NET Identity examples.
