Klokki for Mac

In plain words

Klokki for Mac is an automatic time-tracking tool designed for freelancers and makers who frequently forget to start and stop timers during work. Instead of manual tracking, the software uses customizable rules to automatically monitor time spent on tasks. Users maintain control over what gets tracked through these rule-based settings, eliminating the need to remember to log time while working. The application integrates with Mac systems and design or development tools, making it useful for creative professionals and developers.

From the sources

Klokki was created to solve an annoying issue that many freelancer and makers face, which is forgetting to start and pause a timer, during the work. The solution is automation, but we knew that people still want to control what should be tracked. Enter — rule-based automatic time-tracking.

Klokki enables you to keep track of every single second with the help of automatic time-tracking. Trigger the timer by starting your work with the files, apps, or websites you use.

To everyone who has supported Klokki over the years — thank you . Your trust, patience, and enthusiasm have meant more than you know. I also want to acknowledge something I've been silent about: in the past years, I stepped away without offering you clarity. No updates, no messages. This letter is here to share what happened, and what comes next. The app emerged during a company split with my former co-founder. Suddenly I was on my own without the technical experience needed to re-release the app as Klokki and then keep it moving, but with a strong desire to continue building the app. I reached out to a long-time friend, someone I had built another app with before. With his support, Klokki…from klokki.com

  I quit my job and made an automatic time tracker2024 · taimapp.io · ▲136

  Hey Hacker News! This is my first post here. About 5 months ago, I left my job because I was completely burnt out. After taking some time off, I started freelancing. But I found tracking my time to be a real hassle as I kept forgetting to start or stop the timer and often had no idea what I’d worked on. So, I decided to build Taim as a side project, while also working now on some freelancing gigs. Taim is going to be automated time tracking tool for freelancers and teams.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
