Continuum

Continuum is a private macOS app for managers. It keeps your notes on each person you lead in one place — what you notice in 1:1s, how your read of them changes, and which signals are moving — so you walk into reviews and 1:1s with context instead of trying to remember it.

Local-only on your Mac: no cloud, no account, no sync. Nothing is reported upward and nothing connects to an HR or performance system. Your observations stay on the machine you wrote them on.

Most 1:1 tools are shared with your team or company. Continuum is the opposite — a private record only you see — and it tracks how your read of someone shifts over months, instead of leaving a pile of dated meeting notes to reread.

Managers and team leads keeping track of their direct reports over time, especially engineering managers and anyone running regular 1:1s. If you've blanked on someone's progress right before a review, it's built for that.

No. Continuum uses plain words, not scores. Beliefs carry a confidence in words (uncertain, likely, plausible, certain) and a status; signals fade over time unless you notice them again. It's a tool for your judgment, not a substitute for it.
