Big features get announcements. The work that actually determines whether an app feels trustworthy is smaller: does the screen show the right day, can you read the text, did that button press actually do anything?

We just finished a polish pass across CairnHolm focused on exactly that. None of these changes add a feature. All of them make the app behave the way you already assumed it did.

Most tracking apps handle the first-time experience the same way: empty state, generic "Add your first entry" button, blinking cursor.

That's a reasonable response to an empty database, but a flat experience for someone just starting to track their workouts, relationships, or finances. CairnHolm's empty states were rebuilt to do more.
