24 alternatives to FlowTracks

Hi HN, I made FlowTracks – a time tracker that shows how consistent you really are. I’ve tried a bunch of productivity tools: Pomodoro timers, TODO apps, time logs. They helped me focus or stay organized short-term — but none of them gave me a clear picture of how consistent I was over time. I wanted to know: - Which days I drift off - Whether I was improving week over week - When exactly my focus dropped during the day So I built FlowTracks. Originally it was just a tool for myself. But after using it daily for a few months, I realized it might help others too — so I put up a landing page…

    Hi HN! I've been building Dayflow, a macOS app that automatically tracks what you're actually working on (not just which apps you have open). Here's what it does: - It creates a semantic timeline of your day; - It does it by understanding the content on your screen (with local or cloud VLMs); - This allows you to see exactly where your time went without any manual logging. Traditional time trackers tell you "3 hours in Chrome" which is not very helpful. Dayflow actually understands if you're reading documentation, debugging code, or scrolling HN. Instead of "Chrome: 3 hours", you get…

    Hi HN, I built FlowTime. I love Pomodoro but often hit peak focus around minute 25; the fixed break emptied my working memory and I lost the thread. FlowTime lets you work as long as you’re in flow, then take a break equal to 20% of the focus time. One-tap Work → Next Break, task-linked tracking, and a day/week/month/year stats dashboard. Tech: Next.js + TypeScript; data is local-only (no signup). Known limits: single-device data; sync may come later. Would love feedback on: edge cases, UX flow, and what would make this truly useful for creative/deep work.

    Hi HN, I made this because I needed to track how much I work and on what. Timeretain allows you to track time using a fast, private feed of time cards. It displays your stats next to it, and you can filter to zoom in on a description or tag. You can always export what's in view. It's different from other time trackers because it's powerful and minimalist. Here's how I use it. I need to hold myself accountable. I want to know how much I've worked in a week, and Timeretain immediately shows that — no need to create extensive 'reports'. Next, a log of what I did is useful for standup. I can get…

    http://www.timeclover.com We made a time tracking tool to track hobbies and goals. No billable hours or other enterprise nonsense, just simplicity and what we feel are great graphs and visualizations of how you spend your time. I'm a big fan of seinfeld's method and this is supposed to take it a step further. Instead of planning activities, guilt yourself into not ruining your beautiful history. We’re still expanding the idea, and would love some feedback. Unfortunately everything is somewhat empty until you have tracked for a couple of days, so here is my public profile view to give you an…
