It would be nice if you could account for two devices instead of one. I typically use a Windows desktop at home and a Macbook when I'm outside. Also, I noticed the plan widget only says 1 MacOS device while the text under the pre-order button says Windows 10+ is supported — not sure if that means there is windows support or not.

Looks nice. I'm a Clockify fan myself. Your app and homepage also remind me a lot of https://timemator.com/ (which I ended up not using because it was unable to generate reports that show me the percentage(!) of time spent on different projects throughout the day).

Thanks for your feedback! Currently, Taim licenses are tied to your account, so you can sign in on multiple devices, including both your Windows desktop and Macbook, just the other device will be logged out. I apologize for any confusion regarding the supported platforms. Im focusing on macOS first (that's why there is also macOS mentions everywhere), with Windows support coming next. Appreciate your input!

Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate the comparison. I’m glad you like the look of Taim. I'm aiming to include advanced reporting features, including the ability to show the percentage of time spent on different projects throughout the day. If you have any other suggestions or features you’d like to see, feel free to share!

This reminds of ManicTime which I used many many years ago when it was free. As per my understanding, it kept track of currently in focus windows and recorded window titles an processes. I guess this is doing similar.

Thanks for the comparison! Yes, Taim works similarly by tracking active windows and recording window titles and processes, but it can also be turned off. I aim to provide a seamless and accurate time tracking experience, just like ManicTime did. If you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you! I completely agree — there’s something special about the reliability and performance of a full desktop app. I’m excited to bring these benefits to users with Taim. Thanks for the good wishes and support!

and by the way - for your landing page is that a custom sveltekit theme ? been wondering where to find a theme like that .

Yes its custom, mainly tailwind is used for styling

is this only for Mac? is the UI a native app or web based technologies and running on like electron? just curious

Currently, Taim is going to be available for macOS, with plans to add Windows support next. Yes the UI is built with web-based technologies, specifically using SvelteKit and Tailwind CSS, and it runs on Tauri, which allows for a lightweight and native-like experience.
