timer-first blocks
start without planning, stop when the block is real, then add the task, category, tags, and notes after the fact.
notes-first time evidence
the friend who remembers
your day
Alibi is a witness for messy lived time. It helps you track what happened, write the nuance your memory loses, and later ask for patterns grounded in dated evidence.
The demo uses browser storage. If you sign up after trying it, completed demo blocks can be imported into your account.
what it is
a timeline with memory
capture
timer, manual entry, and chat create the same time-block record.
preserve
notes keep the messy human evidence: intention, drift, feeling, friction, and outcome.
reflect
analysis reads notes first and keeps observations tied to the original evidence.
retrieve
future RAG work will search source-backed chunks instead of inventing vague summaries.
what alibi does
a complete record, not a clean fiction
The current app already supports timer tracking, manual blocks, editable notes, custom categories, chat logging, dashboard summaries, and note-derived insights. The larger experiment is to turn that record into a trustworthy retrieval system for work patterns.
manual time blocks
backfill missed work with the same structure as tracked time: start, end, task, category, hashtags, and notes.
notes as evidence
write what actually happened: parallel activity, attention shifts, friction, feelings, useful distractions, and outcomes.
chat as reconstruction
use chat to start or stop the timer, log completed work, ask for missing details, or help turn a messy memory into a better note.
timeline record
today's blocks keep exact times, duration, categories, notes, edit/delete controls, and a resume button for the latest block.
dashboard mirror
the dashboard summarizes categories, rhythm, markers, and note-derived observations without turning the day into a score.
notes-first analysis
when you ask what happened, Alibi prioritizes your notes, then metadata, then linked chat, then broader chat context.
future RAG experiment
the ambition is source-backed retrieval: patterns and answers that cite dated blocks, note excerpts, chat turns, and evidence items.
private account data
authenticated data is protected with Supabase row-level security. the public demo stays in your browser until you choose to import it.
built as a RAG experiment, but grounded in the product first
RAG only becomes useful when the source material is clean. Alibi's first job is to preserve dated notes, chat context, and derived evidence. The next job is retrieval that can answer questions like "when does admin become avoidance?" with citations back to actual blocks.
