good to see someone still making beautiful desktop apps. with web apps all over, we tend to forget the benefits that full desktop apps provide such as full offline access, not being dependent on the 'cloud'. congrats on launching and good luck.

Thanks for the kind words! It’s great to hear that you’ve been working on something similar. Right now, I’m focused on launching Taim for macOS first. After that, the plan is to roll out a Windows version. Linux support is something I’m considering for the future, but I’m not entirely sure yet. I appreciate your interest and would love to keep you updated as things progress!
I'd love to stay updated too, do you have an email list somewhere I can sign up to?

#34This looks like exactly the kind of thing I've been searching for, and I'm happy to pay a one-time price. I'd much rather own than subscribe. Two things: 1. Will the local storage version be dependent at all on your servers? In other words, if I buy it once, can I use it forever even if you stop supporting it? 2. I would hit "buy now" today if there was a limited trial period before I was charged for it. $90 is a fai…
I've never used this product and I have zero connection to it, a friend suggested it to me but I've not checked it out: https://rize.io/
It's $10/mo so more expensive than the pre-order price of this but less expensive than the full price. And it doesn't let you use the old version if you stop paying, just wanted to throw out a datapoint of something that seems similar.

#35grear work, two questions: 1. what UI framework do you use, since I see Windows support is already announced? 2. if I pay for an early bird license, would that work with the Windows version later on as well?

#36better time tracking is sorely needed! If I never see the SAP Concur UI again in my life, it still won't be enough. Quick bit of copy-editing: You probably want to say "Forgetting to start a timer is an issue *of* the past"

A one-time payment used to be a draw. Now I wonder how long my lifetime access will last until I need a subscription. (TextExpander, Sketch, 1Password, Ulysses, for example)
Or even just when support ends. "It's been two years, time to buy the new version!"

#38This looks super promising. Two things caught my eye that give me pause: > Save your seat for 67% off The price listed ($89) is only 50% off the $179 listed. At $60 (~67% off), my gut reaction is "Oh that's just like an early release videogame, not bad for how promising it looks!" but $89 crosses into "Ehh, I don't know. Maybe I'll wait and see" territory. > We are planning to launch Taim to the public in early Sprin…
Thanks for pointing that out! I appreciate the keen eye. 1. The discount is indeed wrong, I've adjusted the pricing a bit. 2. I apologize for the confusion — I actually meant early Autumn, not Spring. So the launch is much sooner than you thought! I hope this clears things up, and thanks for your interest! I’ll keep you updated on our progress.

#39Congrats on making a product! I've been using Qbserve for a decade with a one-time price (and it looks to still be just $29). Things that I love about it: - No connection needed. - Ability to categorize my time by project - Adding Rules to categorize by page url pattern, document path, or window title. - Exporting the data from the local sqlite. - Ability to annotate the timelines and attribute it to specific project…

#40Ballsy... unless you mean to make that deep discount permanent, which is a can of worms of its own.
