Who it’s for

Built for the long projects.

The thesis that takes a year. The instrument you practice most evenings. The field you want to really understand. Improved is for work you choose yourself, where nobody else keeps the hours, the plan or the score.

A thesis or a research project

Hours a week on the thesis, a finish date forecast from your own pace, and papers turned into courses.

Thesis · 3 h 20 of 10–14 h this week

A craft or an instrument

Practice blocks on the days you choose, a streak that allows rest days, and a rating of your energy as you go.

Guitar · 45 min planned at 17:45

A new field

Ask for a course at the depth you want. The tutor plans it from what you already know and brings each idea back before it slips.

Kalman filter · 61% · 10 reviews today

Not the right tool for client invoices, team timesheets or automatic tracking of your screen. Improved is personal, and you choose what you track.

Plan

Plan the day. Start it with one tap. See what you kept.

Hold and drag on the timeline to draw a block for a task, a project or just a label, once or on the weekdays you choose. Your Google Calendar shows beside it as busy time. Today’s plan on Home has a play button for whatever the plan says now. Track half a block’s time and it counts as kept.

Consistency

How much of your planned time went where you planned it. A day with nothing planned has no score, not a zero.

  • Start a block’s task right from the block.
  • Every session can become an event in the Google Calendar you pick for its project. Connect accounts on Android.

See where the time actually went.

Improved began as a better way to look at tracked time, and the charts are still at its heart. Home is yours to arrange: the running task, today as a strip of hours, a week as a donut, streaks, a year as a heatmap. Tap any card for the full picture.

Where the week went

A day, a week or a month as a donut, then a list by project or task.

Days against your band

Stacked bars from a week to years. Show a goal on them and each day takes the color of where it landed.

One tap, and every device agrees.

Tap a task to start it. Its timer runs at once, and starting one stops the one before, so your phone, your widgets and your other devices always show the same thing running.

  • Projects, folders and tasks, each project with its own color and emoji.
  • Forgot to start it? Draw the session on the timeline, or add it in a sheet.
  • Works without a connection; every device follows within seconds.

You can also start it from a home screen widget, the notification, Quick Settings or the app icon, on Android.

Goals

Goals that bend instead of break.

A slow week moves the finish date. Nothing turns red, and only a limit ever warns. Four kinds, because each fails differently. Each counts any mix of projects, folders and tasks, and carries an “if it slips” plan you write in advance.

Outcome

Finish by a date.

Something you finish, in milestones. The finish date is forecast from your own pace, so you see a date move instead of a page go red.

Commitment

Land inside a band.

A range of hours a week, or a day. When your last weeks all fall on one side of it, it offers a better band from your own numbers.

Learn

Learn anything. Keep what you learn.

Ask for a subject, the depth you want and the minutes a day you have. Your tutor finds out what you already know, plans a course with sources it picked, and teaches it in short lessons you work through, not read through. Reviews bring each idea back just before you’d forget it. Study time is tracked on a task, and starting a course can add a study goal and study blocks to your plan.

Try one, the way a lesson asks it

You have 30 minutes to learn a list of terms for an exam a month from now. Which leaves you remembering more on exam day?

Pick one. Answering first, even wrongly, is the point.

  • AOne 30-minute session tonight
  • BThree 10-minute sessions, a few days apart
  • CEither. It’s the same 30 minutes.
Show the answer

B. Three 10-minute sessions, a few days apart. The same practice spread over days beats piling it into one sitting, and recalling from memory beats rereading. Improved’s reviews do the spreading for you.

Lessons built on how people learn.

Each concept goes through the same short loop, and each step is there because learning research supports it. No points or badges: the interest comes from the idea.

How the tutor teaches

Your own AI

Your AI, working with your time.

Use the AI you already trust. Claude, Cursor or your own agent can read and change your data with access you can revoke. Run OpenClaw on your computer, and it talks to you in the app and becomes your tutor. Improved runs no model of its own.

Your agent sees your hours, your plan and your goals, and can change almost anything. Deletes can be restored, and a set of changes can come as suggestions you review first.

Level 1

On its own

Everything to track, see, plan and keep goals, with Google Calendar and WHOOP.

What you needThe app, in early access on Android.

2

Level 2

With the AI app you use

Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP apps

Your AI looks anything up, plans your week, logs time and answers where last month went. It can change things directly, as you can, or send a set of changes for you to review in the app.

What you needAn AI app that connects to MCP servers, such as Claude (web, desktop or Claude Code), Cursor or VS Code, and a token from Settings → Integrations → MCP access.

  • See each step it takes, and stop it any time.
  • Ask for a file from your computer: images open full screen, and a podcast keeps playing with the phone locked.
  • Send it photos and files from your phone.
  • Schedule messages: “every weekday at 9, my plan”.
  • Your agent can write on a schedule too, so what it does is up to you: a news summary each morning, a heads-up when a job or an event you follow turns up, a journal you keep by talking to it.

You stay in charge

  • Changes you review

    A set of changes arrives as suggestions. Keep some or all, apply them, undo them.

  • Nothing lost

    Deletes are soft and can be restored. Deleting more than one thing asks first.

  • Access you can take back

    Tokens are shown once, stored only as hashes, and revoked in Settings.

  • Your computer stays yours

    Improved keeps only the names of the tools your agent ran, never what went in or came out, unless you ask for more detail.

  • Nothing hidden

    You see each step as it runs. Turn on detailed steps to see what each one did.

Your data

Your data stays yours.

Improved is a personal tool. What you enter lives in your account and on your devices, and you decide which AI gets near it.

I started Improved in 2020. The best time tracker I could find wouldn’t let me analyze my time the way I wanted, and I like to plot and dig into my data, so I built my own. It grew into goals, then learning, and now your own AI. Improved is independent: there are no investors behind it.

Your data is never sold.

brenocq.comWrite to me

  • In your account, on your devices

    Everything you enter is stored under your account in Google’s Cloud Firestore, and in a local database on each device, so it works offline.

  • Undo instead of regret

    Deletes are soft and can be undone. Deleting a project tells you first how much goes with it.

  • AI access you grant, and take back

    MCP tokens are made in Settings, shown once, stored only as hashes and revoked with a tap.

  • Your computer stays yours

    The assistant runs on your own computer. Improved keeps your messages and the names of the tools your agent ran, never what went in or came out. Turn on detailed steps and it also keeps a one-line summary of each, with secrets removed.

  • Calendar and WHOOP, only if you connect them

    Google Calendar gets one event per session, in the calendar you choose; your busy time is read to show it and never stored. WHOOP shares your sleep. Their sign-ins stay on the server.

  • Leave any time

    Delete your account in Settings, or ask by email without the app. It goes for good, with all your data and files, your feedback screenshots, your WHOOP and Google Calendar connections (we revoke our access) and your personal access tokens. Events already in your Google Calendar stay there; they’re yours.

  • What we measure

    Crash reports and usage events, such as screens opened, through Firebase, to fix and improve the app. No ads. This website sets no cookies.

Questions

Before you start.

Can I use Improved now?

Yes, in early access on Android. Ask for early access with the Google account on your phone, and you’ll get an invitation to the test on Google Play. Improved opens to everyone there once it’s ready.

Is Improved free?

Early access is free. When Improved opens on Google Play it will have a subscription, and its price will be on this page before anyone pays anything. Improved runs no AI of its own, so there’s no AI bill to pass on; your own AI runs on your own account.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not yet. Improved is on Android. Tell me when it is.

Do I need AI to use it?

No. Tracking, charts, the plan, goals, Google Calendar and WHOOP all work on their own. The in-app chat and the Learn tutor need your own agent, and are in early access.

Which AI does it work with?

Claude (on the web, in the desktop app or in Claude Code), Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and other apps that connect to MCP servers can use your data, with a token you make in Settings. The in-app chat and the tutor work with OpenClaw, an AI assistant you run on your own computer, through Improved’s bridge. How to connect each app: Connect your AI.

Why doesn’t Improved have its own AI?

Because your own agent already knows your notes, your files and how you work, and you choose its model. Improved carries the messages; it never runs a model of its own.

What can my AI see and change?

With your token, what you can in the app. Deletes are soft and can be restored, deleting more than one thing asks first, and a set of changes can come as suggestions you review. Revoke the token in Settings at any time.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Every change lands on your device first and syncs when you’re back online.

Does it track my screen or apps?

No. You start and stop what you track. Nothing watches your screen.

Can I use it for clients or a team?

No. Improved is personal: no invoices, no teams, no sharing.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Portuguese and German, and so does this website.

How do I send feedback?

Shake your phone in the app to send a screenshot you can draw on, or write to brenocq.br@gmail.com.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: Settings → Account → Delete account. Without the app: write to brenocq.br@gmail.com and we’ll delete it. Either way it goes for good, with all your data and files, your connections and your tokens; events already in your Google Calendar stay there. Step by step: Delete your account.

Start with one tap.

Ask for early access, install Improved from the invitation, make a project and press play. The plan and your goals are there when you want them, and your own AI when you bring it.
