+# Year Progress App
+
+Track the passage of time with elegant progress bars right from your menu bar.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Simple & Elegant**: Clean, minimalist interface that shows you exactly what you need to know at a glance.
+- **Multiple Time Scales**: Track progress for the year, month, and day all in one place.
+- **Menu Bar Integration**: Always accessible from your menu bar, with keyboard shortcuts for quick access.
+- **Native macOS App**: Built specifically for macOS, following platform design guidelines and best practices.
+
+## Background
+
+I was looking into Nat Friedman's homepage about 5 months ago and read a really obvious yet astonishing statement: **A week is 2% of the year**.
+
+Everyone knows that time is precious. But it's really not that tangible when you're stuck in the absolute scale of a clock. Instead, using relative scales is far more effective for humans, at least that is what I propose.
+
+I really fell in love with Nat's concept of "a week is 2% of the year" and have been adopting this to measure my life.
+
+## Why Use This?
+
+Most people track time with clocks and calendars, but those don't really show how time is slipping away. Year Progress helps you visualize time in a way that makes it more tangible and motivating.
+
+Here's why it matters:
+
+- **See Time Differently** – A week isn't just 7 days; it's 2% of your year. This perspective makes long-term planning easier.
+- **Stay Motivated** – Watching your year, month, or day fill up in real-time can keep you on track with goals.
+- **Minimal & Effortless** – No complex settings. Just open your menu bar and see where you are in the timeline.
+- **Better Than Existing Apps** – Many apps charge high fees for simple progress tracking. This app keeps it affordable and effective.
+
+If you've ever felt like time slips away too fast, Year Progress will help you make sense of it—one progress bar at a time.
