The problem with remote productivity tracking
Manual timers are fiction
Most developers forget to start and stop timers, then estimate from memory. Billing and planning get noisy fast.
Calendar hours are not coding hours
Eight hours online can hide three hours of context switching. Teams overestimate output and individuals overwork to compensate.
Surveillance tools break trust
Screenshot-based tracking increases anxiety and still misses whether focused engineering work happened.
A simple solution with honest signals
Local desktop agent
Runs on your machine, samples active applications every 30 seconds, and tags sessions as coding, distraction, or neutral.
Actionable dashboard
See focus score, real coding time, and distraction drift. Spot burnout risk before it compounds.
Privacy by design
No screenshots, no keystroke logging, and no invasive webcam checks. Just app context and title metadata.
Build sustainable output, not performative busyness
Remote developers often feel guilty for breaks and blind to distraction creep. This tracker gives you concrete feedback loops so you can defend deep-work time and plan realistic workloads.
FAQ
How does Work Time Tracker decide what counts as coding?
The agent classifies known coding environments (VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains IDEs, terminal editors) and inspects window titles for code-like patterns such as file extensions and branch context. You can tune the classifier list in the desktop agent config.
Does this capture screenshots or keyboard input?
No. The tracker records timestamped activity windows with category labels and optional language hints. It is intentionally lightweight and privacy-conscious.
How do I unlock dashboard access after payment?
Use the same email from your Stripe checkout to claim access on the dashboard page. The app sets an access cookie after purchase verification.
Who is this for?
Freelance developers and remote engineers at small companies who need accurate self-assessment without heavyweight project management overhead.
