## What is Pentad?

Pentad is a time ledger that stays on your phone.

Diaries ask for sentences, and the habit fades. Pentad turns an event into five quick choices: when, who, what, how long, and what it was for. A few taps, no typing. Once a week you can see where your hours actually went, and how far that is from where you thought they went.

FIVE DIRECTIONS
Body, Relationship, Output, Input, Recovery. Each entry has one primary direction, and Pentad infers a secondary one from the action (70% primary, 30% secondary). The weekly report adds hours up with those weights.

LOG IN A FEW TAPS
• Who: tap the people who were there, pick several or none
• What: tap an action; the ones you use most come first
• How long: short, medium or long, or set a custom duration and save it as a preset
• Feeling: Drained, Steady or Recharged, or skip it
• What for: picking an action preselects a direction, and you can change it at any time
Notes stay folded away, and Pentad never nags you about empty fields.

GETS EASIER THE MORE YOU USE IT
• Habit-based preselect: if you keep logging an action under the same direction, Pentad preselects that direction next time, and the same goes for duration. It is only a suggestion and never overrides a choice you made
• Action order: sorted by how often you used each action in the past week, or switch to your own drag-and-drop order in Settings

LOG WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• Medium Home Screen widget: tap a direction to log right away
• Lock Screen widget and a Control Center button
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Log an entry in Pentad"
These quick entries are marked on the Today screen so you can add the people and action later.

TODAY
Your day as a timeline. Add, edit or delete entries. No guilt-tripping about "missing hours".

WEEK REPORT
How the past 7 days split across the five directions, the change from the week before, who you spent the time with, and a one-line takeaway. No streaks, no pressure.

PRIVACY
• No account, no in-app purchases, no ads, no third-party analytics
• Entries are stored on your device, and the developer receives none of your data
• Location is asked for only the first time you save an entry in the app. If you allow it, a short place name is saved on the device (Apple's map service turns an approximate position into the name). If you decline, the entry still saves
• Avatars are picked with the system photo picker. Pentad does not read your whole photo library or your contacts

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
Export JSON (everything) or CSV (spreadsheet-friendly) from Settings. You can also turn on Day One and send chosen entries there. Note: there is no cloud sync, so deleting the app deletes your data. Export before you switch phones.

ALSO
• Follows the system light or dark appearance
• iPhone and iPad
• English and Simplified Chinese
• Alternate app icons
