A little aggressive. Somewhat cringey. Mostly harmless. I’ll try it, continue to use it if I like it, and if I continue using it and you ever start charging for it I’ll vibe code my own given the lack of complexity.
Or you could just ask your LLM for other timer sites that do the same thing. Probably burn fewer tokens that way, since you seem to be so cost-conscious.

#25Anyone know an app that asks me what I’ve been doing instead? I can never remember to start the timer.
Freckle does it well (letsfreckle.com), and so does Cushion (https://cushionapp.com).

#26I added a feature to take in an estimation of the time i needed for a task and then lock me in. It would track estimation mistakes and keep a log of those. I also made it run only one instance in a browser. Works quite well.

#28Here's my take on a Timer: https://github.com/Klaster1/timer-5 . Local only too (it's a PWA), with optional JSON export/import and basic filters/stats. Served me well for more than 10 years.

#29I built almost the same but reversed: https://timer.bryanhogan.com/ I made it for time-boxing, so setting myself a time limit on multiple tasks to not get distracted and get things done. I just made it to have a simple tool, so of course no monetization, local-only and minimal as well.
For a while my time management just kinda took care of itself, but there are more distractions and competing priorities in life/work now so I might pay more attention again./
