Documentation
Everything you need to get Chronadra set up and working the way you like.
Getting Started
The first time you open Chronadra, a short setup wizard walks you through getting started:
- Welcome — a quick introduction. Click Get Started to continue.
- Database location — choose the folder where Chronadra will store your data. We recommend a folder inside your Documents folder so it syncs across devices automatically (see Database below).
Once you finish, you land on the Today view, ready to add your first tasks. You only see the wizard on first launch — after that Chronadra remembers your settings.
Adding Issue Trackers
Chronadra turns the ticket and epic references on your tasks into clickable links. To set this up,
open Settings → Issue Trackers and add each tracker with a Title
and a Base URL. When you reference a ticket on a task, Chronadra appends it to the
base URL to build the link — so the base URL should end with a /.
| Tracker | Base URL | Reference → opens |
|---|---|---|
| Jira | https://jira.acme.com/browse/ | PROJ-123 → https://jira.acme.com/browse/PROJ-123 |
| GitHub | https://github.com/org/project/issues/ | 42 → https://github.com/org/project/issues/42 |
| Gitea | https://gitea.com/org/project/issues/ | 42 → https://gitea.com/org/project/issues/42 |
You can add as many trackers as you like — Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or any other web-based
tracker. Each task can be assigned to one of them, and a reference like PROJ-123 or an
issue number becomes a link straight to it.
In Office Targets
On the Today view, mark each day as In Office or Remote. Chronadra keeps a running tally so you can stay on top of hybrid-work expectations.
In Settings → In Office you can set two monthly targets, each as a percentage:
- Days target — the share of all days in the month you aim to be in the office.
- Weekdays target — the share of weekdays (Mon–Fri) you aim to be in the office.
The Reports view then breaks your attendance down month by month, shows how many
days or weekdays you still owe to hit each target, and rolls everything up into a year-to-date total.
Set a target to 0 to hide it if you only care about one of them.
Themes
Open Settings to tune Chronadra's appearance:
- Theme — Light, Dark, or System (follows your OS setting).
- Label Display — show labels as icon only, icon + text, or text only, to suit how compact you like things.
Database
Chronadra is file-based: your days, tasks, and labels are stored as plain files in a folder you choose — no accounts, no servers, no lock-in. You can pick that folder during the setup wizard or change it later in Settings.
To use Chronadra on more than one machine, point each install at the same synced folder. Because it's just files, any file-syncing service works — iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, Nextcloud, Seafile, Syncthing, and others.
