Halo!

I got bored yesterday and decided to have a bit of fun reverse engineering Screen Time on macOS. Learned quite a bit about how the system works under the hood. I utilized Claude for some of the research, experimenting with running multiple agents in parallel, and ended up finally hitting my max rate limit window lol. Twas a fun project!

very detailed analysis! I have always been curious about this so made a nice read.
