Dashboard Guide

The Chronos dashboard is a lightweight local UI that complements the CLI and Listener. It exposes the same APIs used by automation agents for quick edits and visual planning.

Run the Dashboard

• Launcher: dashboard_launcher.bat (or .sh on Linux/macOS).
• From the Console: dashboard or dash.

Views

• Calendar - year/month/week/day canvas with a Day List tree in Day view. Selecting a date previews that day (today is actionable).
• Template Builder - drag and drop editing for week/day/routine/subroutine/microroutine templates, plus goal/project/inventory builders.
• Cockpit - a drag and drop canvas with modular panels (Schedule, Matrix, Matrix Visuals, Lists, Commitments, Status Strip, Deadlines, Map of Happiness).
• Canvas - freeform boards for planning, notes, and collaboration.

Widgets

Widgets are mounted under Utilities/Dashboard/Widgets and include:

• Scheduler (Today widget), Item Manager, Variables, Terminal (autosuggest + shell execution)
• Habit Tracker, Goal Tracker, Commitments, Rewards, Achievements, Milestones
• Inventory Manager, Notes, Journal, Profile, Review, Link
• Resolution Tracker, Sticky Notes, Cockpit Minimap, Trends
• Timer, Settings, Clock (Manage alarms/reminders), Status, Debug Console
• MP3 Player (streams from User/Media)

Wizards

• Chronos Onboarding Wizard - set nickname, categories, statuses, and clone sample templates.
• New Year's Resolutions Wizard - clarify resolutions and link them to Chronos items.
• Self Authoring Suite - reflection flow that can generate goals, habits, and tasks.
