I like this app as it is. New features would be welcome but I prefer lean and mean app. Simpler the better.

Re: Show HN: Automatic private time tracking for OS X
#182I was not happy with features and UX of other productivity trackers. Most of the time tracking software is made for controlling employees or for billing clients and I just wanted an automated productivity measurement. I tried RescueTime before but it was too expensive for its functionality ($72-108/year) and also collected all my tracked data on their servers.

:D Sounds interesting but I don't know how many users know how to read this...

On the other hand, using IPA more widely would help more people know about it. It is the standard in linguistics—although that’s not necessarily a sufficient argument, as it might be too technical for a general audience.
