You want

(change-time (days -1))

if the active time is on the wrong day. The active time being wrong but on the correct day doesn't matter yet since only day-resolution variables are supported. A time zone setting will be added along with variables of arbitrary time resolution.

For percentage variables, use

(num-interval 0 100)

as the validator for a variable. (I will add "percent" as a built-in validator.)

Besides the built-in documentation for all the API functions, the readme on GitHub is the most comprehensive existing documentation. Of course I intend to fix that eventually, probably along with the next release which is going to be the one where there is a GUI.

Thank you for all your feedback!

Yeah, this is what I need. I'm planning to do most of my data-input at 2am-ish, and it'd be nice to not have to remember to mentally subtract a day from the existing data.

And thanks for making this!
