Dracula Devlog — Aug 15, 2026
Today’s standup for Dracula — the blood-sugar logbook that never leaves your phone. All on-device, no accounts, no telemetry.
What I worked on
A polish-and-ship sprint: security hardening, trends correctness, and logging ergonomics. Closed out PRs #74 through #91 (35 commits today).
What got done
Security — app lock shipped (#75)
- Hashed PIN storage, plus a PIN setup and change UI
- PIN fallback when biometrics aren’t available
- Track

Trends correctness (#76, #83, #84)
- New reading-band classifier service; fixed time-in-range band classification
- Chart Y-axis now derived from the data instead of hardcoded
- Distinct feed dot colors for high vs carb
Navigation (#79, #82)
- Tab state now survives with IndexedStack
- Fixed hero-tag and trends-refresh regressions
Logging ergonomics (#80, #81, #85, #88, #90)
- Delete entries from edit screens, and swipe-to-delete
- Log refreshes after add/edit
- Empty-state CTAs on the log
- One-tap quick-log for glucose
- Premade meal presets fill macros
Today screen (#77, #89)
- Labeled sparkline + streak badge
- Latest-reading timestamp in the KPI
Onboarding & export (#87, #91)
- Guided setup with a working restore

In progress

What’s next
- Merge the log-filters branch
- App Store and Google Play submission
- CGM import (longer term)
- Keep the countdown moving toward the $500/mo sponsorware goal — hit it and the source opens
Not medical advice. Dracula is a logbook and a calculator — insulin decisions are yours and your care team’s.
