I built this after a specific moment in December 2025. I was listening to a podcast where a guest mentioned she had stopped tracking her finances and started tracking her time instead—treating _time as a ledger_.
As a new indie developer, I wanted to know exactly where my time was going. I tried a lot of existing tools, but after a month, none of them felt "right" for my specific workflow. They felt too rigid or the context switching was too heavy. Around the same time, I stumbled upon Aleksandr Lyubishchev (the Soviet scientist known for his extreme time logging) and was completely shocked by his method. That was the spark—I decided to build exactly what I needed.
How it works:
- No Login Required: You can use it immediately. Data is stored in your browser cache (IndexedDB/LocalStorage).
- Sync: Login allows you to sync data across devices.
- Auth: I support Google Login (recommended) and Email. Note: Email verification is currently off for easier onboarding, but please use a real email as I'll be enabling verification soon.
Tech Stack: Next.js + Cloudflare D1 (SQLite).
I'd love to hear your feedback on the "Time Ledger" concept versus standard trackers!
