Timelines is an iPhone app that lets you track your time visually on an interactive timeline. With the clear picture of where your time is going, you’ll be able to improve over time.
Create a timeline for each project or activity that you care about. Then use timers to keep track of what you’re doing. You can also add events retrospectively and adjust their times.
With Statistics mode and the interactive timeline, you can quickly scale from the big picture overview down to a single day.
Define daily, weekly, and monthly targets for your categories, and get rewarded for reaching them with confetti. 🎉
With Timelines for Apple Watch, you can control timers without pulling your phone out of your pocket.
With interactive bar chart, you can see how your time spending habits evolve over days, weeks, months, and beyond.
Follow your goals, statistics, individual categories, and tracking status right on your home screen.
Because Xsan operates at the block level, traditional file-level auditing (like macOS’s fs_usage) does not capture all metadata operations. For compliance (e.g., SOC2, FINRA), you need external auditing.
If your feature requires looking at past events or errors, you need to inspect the Xsan log files.
Xsan is powerful but sensitive to network and storage configuration errors. Always stage changes on a test volume. For modern workflows, consider evaluating Lustre (HPC) or DAOS if you need open-source alternatives, but for tight Final Cut Pro / ProRes integration, Xsan remains a reliable choice. xsan filesystem access

Key metadata to preserve from the original MDC:
Xsan is Apple’s implementation of the SAN (Storage Area Network) file system, based on the Quantum StorNext File System. It enables multiple macOS workstations and servers to simultaneously access shared block-level storage with high performance. Unlike traditional file servers (NAS), which operate over a network protocol, Xsan provides direct block-level access to a shared storage pool, appearing to the user as a local volume while managing concurrency across the network.

For temporary access (e.g., troubleshooting):
sudo mount -t xsan /dev/xsan/VolumeName /Volumes/VolumeName
“I personally wasn’t happy about the way I was spending my time, which is one of the main reasons why I decided to build this app. Timelines has been helping me and other users be more aware of our time and use it more wisely. It is also my passion and I’m dedicated to it 100%. There are big plans for the future (read more in Press Kit). Have any questions or comments? and I’ll reply within 24 hours.”
