    I built an open source alternative to wakatime because I don't think a wakatime premium should cost more than a Github copilot subscription. The problem wakatime solves is rather straightforward. Their hardest bit of business is creating all those plugins, besides that the backend just ingests plugin data and organizes it into a dashboard that gives insights into developer work habits. I also felt features like goals, invoices and management of clients shouldn't require premium subscription. And for the most part, I feel I'm right. Especially after implementing these features. The website is…

    Hi HN, I've been building Chronoid, a native macOS time tracker. It runs in the menu bar and automatically logs apps, windows, and file activity using macOS accessibility APIs. Everything is stored locally, no sync or cloud service. At first I tried using DuckDB as the storage engine. It looked promising for analytics, but after ~2 weeks I realized it was overkill for my needs—extra dependencies, trickier integration, and not much real benefit at the scale of a single-user app. I switched to SQLite, and it turned out to be the simpler, more reliable choice. The codebase got smaller and the…

    I built an open source wakatime alternative with the main focus being that it is self-hostable, and therefore you control your data. On top of that do I think that the UI/UX experience of wakatime is not the best that's why I focused on a minimal and clean design while at the same time taking a lot of inspiration and principals from plausible analytics because that is widely known it should be easier to get used to the UI of Ziit. I recently release the first major version, v1.0.0 of Ziit and would love your feedback on features that are not yet implemented. Although Ziit currently only…
