Pacing zones
Pacing shows whether you are ahead of or behind the ideal rhythm: halfway through a window, the ideal is 50% used.
Four zones
| Icon | Color | Gap from the ideal pace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chill | Leaf | Green | More than the margin below |
| On track | Bolt | Blue | Within ± the margin |
| Watch out | Hare | Orange | Between 1 and 2 x the margin above |
| Hot | Flame | Red | More than 2 x the margin above |
- Margin: the Pacing Sensitivity slider in Settings -> Pacing, 5 to 30 points in steps of 5, default 10.
- Pacing covers the session and weekly windows, plus Fable (Claude only) in the popover and menu bar.
- A window that has not started yet shows a placeholder.
Workweek pacing
In Settings -> Pacing, set active days (Monday to Friday by default) and optional hours: the ideal pace counts only that time, so weekends don't make you look ahead. Weekly windows only, never the 5h session.
On the dashboard's weekly pacing card (Claude only), off days are hatched, and when you run ahead it shows back to 0% in 3d 14h.
Pacing and gauge color can disagree. At 30% used in the first hour of a 7-day window, pacing is Hot, while the Smart gauge stays green because the rhythm is not reliable that early.
