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 last_active on pause

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
  • TXT export wired into Settings

Settings fix (#78)

  • Target-range dialog prefills with a bare number

Docs

  • Rewrote AGENTS.md for the current architecture; ticked off the completed MVP 1 user stories

In progress

  • Log filters (date-range + category) — branch is open with tests written, not merged yet.

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.
