In plain words
Timebox is a command-line utility that enforces time limits on Unix programs. It allows developers and system administrators to run applications with automatic termination after a specified duration. The tool is useful for preventing long-running processes from consuming resources indefinitely. Available on GitHub, Timebox provides a straightforward way to manage program execution time in Unix-like environments.

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…

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…
