# About Cadence

Behavioral remodeling starts with a Record the user controls. Cadence records recurring behavior through explicit Decisions, preserved Context, longitudinal review, and portable BehaviorLog data.

## Behavioral Remodeling

A Behavior can change over time. Cadence keeps its Schedule, Occurrences, Decisions, and optional Context available for review. JSON and BehaviorLog exports preserve title and description definition history; Cadence does not present a full in-app revision browser. Completed means the user declared the occurrence completed. Not Completed means the user declared the occurrence not completed. Unresolved means the user has not made a decision.

## Four Record Principles

1. Explicit Decisions: only the user declares an Occurrence Completed or Not Completed.
2. Preserved Context: notes and elapsed time do not rewrite an earlier Decision. JSON and BehaviorLog exports preserve title and description definition history.
3. Longitudinal review: Cadence separates Unresolved Occurrences and shows Adherence across 7, 30, or 90 days.
4. Portable Records: export the Record as JSONL, JSON, CSV, Markdown, BehaviorLog bundle.

## Current Product Scope

Cadence is a single-player web app for Behavior creation, recurring Schedules, a timeline of Occurrences, explicit Decisions, notes, reminders, basic Adherence review, elapsed-time capture, and portable exports. It is not a social tracker, collaboration product, medical dosing app, payment system, or AI coach.

Cadence provides prepared prompts, but the user exports data and chooses any external AI service. Cadence does not send behavior data to an AI provider.

## Cadence and BehaviorLog

Cadence is the application where a user creates and reviews a Record. BehaviorLog is the open standard that packages behavior Records for inspection and exchange between tools.
