- You can create tasks, start a timer, pause it, and stop it. The app calculates the elapsed time between start and stop, minus any pauses, and stores the session of time spent on that task.
- There’s also an inactivity detection feature: if a task is running but there’s no activity for 5 minutes, it automatically pauses.
- You can set dependencies between tasks to ensure that certain tasks are completed in the correct order.
- Once you've completed a task and tracked the time sessions, you can mark it as "done." This moves it to your task history, where you can see the sessions you spent on it, and it also unlocks any dependent tasks.

You submitted a page to HN with nothing on it.
To give you a quick overview, the tool focuses on simple time tracking for tasks with some automation, like detecting inactivity and allowing task dependencies to ensure tasks are completed in the right order. It’s still in the MVP stage, so there’s definitely room for adding more details and differentiation from other tools in the space.
I'll be working on making the landing page more informative soon. Thanks again for pointing this out!
You're missing much more high-level information than this.
I’d love to hear from you all—what do you think I should prioritize adding to the app next? Any feedback or suggestions are super welcome!
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
That being said, I've been involved with the hiring side of IT contracting before, and I can say without nuance that it would be a train wreck without some form of tracker.
Is the above just a personal squeak of disapproval or do you know of a way to avoid it while hiring strangers from around the world?
