#42You should sell this to Lawyers and other professionals who bill per hour to reconstruct their billables for the day without missing anything. They would pay big money for something that recovered forgotten(unbilled) work throughout the day.
Devil's advocate opinion - this would also show how little per hour lawyers spend working :)

I’m a software contractor and I’ve wanted this forever. I’m prototyping something on Linux now.
Let me know if this Linux app gets anywhere!

Per hour? In the UK they bill by the 6-minute! If ever anything told you something about a profession...
They sell in blocks of 1/10th hours??Thats gotta be the jail call special

#45Really cool!
As already seen in the comments there are lots of desires to add more data compared to just screen input.
Could be things like:
- Apple HealthKit / watch - custom apps - Phone logs
Also you stated, and true, that there is much focus needed on improving your core feature.
It might be interesting to allow some kind of API / plugin area. So that people can expand on your core feature and add the desired parts. Might in the future expand to some kind of AppStore like feature with plugins.
That would keep your work focused and allows others to make it complete in their vision, and for others.

#46Wow this is awesome! Wish I could try this on Windows. This is genuinely one of few time tracking solutions that piqued my interest. For now, I'll stick to manual labeling activities with my custom, simple tool: https://github.com/Klaster1/timer-5
If you're on Windows, give this a try: https://donethat.ai - cloud-based but you can use your own gemini key

I've used https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch before on Linux, it's actually quite good but takes a fair bit of fiddling to get good results.

#49It’s nice to forget everything you’re working on periodically and examine the pieces of what you’ve built and redecide what they mean if anything.

#50"Records screen at 1 FPS in 15-second chunks.“
If it’s recording 15 seconds, how often are you doing that? Once every 15m as the analysis interval is 15m?
