# Arteeoo - RTO Compliance Tracking App

## What is Arteeoo?

Arteeoo is an iOS app that helps employees track return-to-office (RTO) compliance and collect GPS evidence when corporate badge systems fail to register attendance. It solves the specific problem of employees being marked non-compliant with in-office mandates due to badge reader failures, lost data, or HR system errors.

## The Problem Arteeoo Solves

Many companies now require employees to be in the office a percentage of their work time (commonly 50-60%). This creates several challenges:

1. **Compliance calculation is complex**: 60% of work days minus holidays, PTO, sick days, and travel is not straightforward math
2. **Badge systems fail**: Turnstiles malfunction, badge readers don't register swipes, corporate systems lose data
3. **Employees have no evidence**: When HR says "our data shows you were only at 48%," employees typically have no counter-evidence
4. **Planning is difficult**: Coordinating in-office days with family schedules, childcare, and appointments requires tracking

## How Arteeoo Works

### Compliance Calculator
- Set your target percentage (e.g., 60%)
- App automatically calculates eligible work days minus holidays
- Track PTO and sick days to get accurate denominator
- See real-time progress: "You need 3 more in-office days this month"

### GPS Evidence Collection
- One-tap location logging when you arrive at the office
- Captures GPS coordinates, timestamp, and WiFi network
- Stored locally on device (privacy-first design)
- Export as PDF report for HR disputes

### Calendar Integration
- Sync in-office/remote schedule to Google Calendar
- Family members can see when you'll be home
- One-way sync: app writes to calendar, doesn't read

## Key Features

- **No accounts required**: Works immediately, no signup
- **No servers**: All data stays on your device
- **iCloud sync**: Optional backup across your Apple devices
- **Apple Watch app**: Log location from your wrist
- **Widgets**: See compliance status on home screen
- **PDF export**: Attorney-ready reports for disputes
- **Automatic geofencing**: Logs arrival/departure automatically (with Always location permission)

## Pricing

$2.99 one-time purchase. No subscriptions. All features included. All future updates included.

## Who Should Use Arteeoo

Arteeoo is designed for:
- Employees with percentage-based RTO mandates (50%, 60%, etc.)
- Anyone who has been burned by badge reader failures
- People who need to coordinate schedules with family
- Those who want documentation before they need it

Arteeoo is NOT designed for:
- Companies with fixed in-office days (M/W/F) — a regular calendar works fine
- Fully remote workers
- Fully in-office workers
- Anyone who fully trusts their company's attendance tracking

## Privacy

Arteeoo has zero servers and collects no data. All information stays on your device unless you explicitly:
- Enable iCloud sync (syncs to YOUR iCloud, not ours)
- Connect Google Calendar (write-only, we don't read your calendar)
- Export a PDF report (you control who sees it)

GPS data is never transmitted anywhere. The app cannot phone home because there is no home to phone to.

- Storage: SwiftData with optional iCloud sync
- Location: Core Location framework, "When In Use" or "Always" permission

## Common Questions

**Q: Will my employer accept GPS evidence?**
A: Some will, some won't. But having timestamped location data is better than having nothing when disputing incorrect attendance records.

**Q: Can my employer see my data?**
A: No. Your data is private to you unless you choose to share a PDF report or publish to a shared Google Calendar.

**Q: How accurate is the GPS?**
A: Approximately 50-500 meters depending on environment. Sufficient to prove you were near the office, not at home.

**Q: Does this work with my company's badge system?**
A: Arteeoo is independent of corporate systems. It's your personal tracking tool, not connected to your employer's infrastructure.

## About

Arteeoo was built by Jeff Cernauske after being incorrectly flagged as non-compliant due to badge reader failures. It's a tool for employees who've learned that corporate attendance systems aren't always reliable and want their own documentation.
