Chronicle app
Chronicle is a timeline based personal organizer that helps people track bills, warranties, subscriptions, renewals, and important life events in one place. I designed the information model and flows to make planning, reminders, and progress tracking fast and low effort.

Challenge
Scattered information lived across emails, notes, calendars, and screenshots, making it easy to miss renewals and deadlines.
Most tracker apps felt heavy and required too much setup before they were useful.
Users needed a clear timeline view plus quick actions to add, search, and get reminders.
The product had to work for many use cases without becoming a cluttered mess.
Solution
A timeline first home that shows upcoming items, overdue items, and key milestones at a glance.
Fast add flow with templates for common items like bills, warranties, subscriptions, and appointments.
Smart grouping by category and time with a global search that finds anything in seconds.
Reminder system with repeat rules and notification preferences to reduce missed deadlines.
Simple onboarding that creates value in under two minutes.
Impact
Reduced time to add a new item with a template based flow and fewer steps.
Improved clarity by replacing scattered lists with one timeline view.
Made tracking flexible across many life categories without overwhelming the interface.
Created a scalable foundation for future features like shared timelines and document storage.
