Many views of Lifelog

Winkletter • 8 Aug 2026 •
I’ve had my Lifelog entries downloaded and added to my Lifelog dashboard for a while now. But for some reason I didn’t think to index them until today. So, I had Claude use Python and Haiku as a subagent to build an index, slicing each file up based on various dimensions. Haiku did the complex dimensions like summaries, questions, and tags. Python pulled out the stats and other things like media embeds or links. This got saved as a JSON file for each year.
Which means I can now have Claude build views to explore the data.
- Timeline view where I can see all (almost) five years I’ve been writing here based on a number of different measures.
- Brainstorm view which lets me draw questions (and answers) based on each post.
- Commonplace view that lists all of the extracted quotes from my posts.
And more are planned: a media browser, topic folksonomy, and an end-of-year report.
- SPEC - Lifelog Semantic Index: The spec for the project, includes the various fields being indexed.
