Hello everyone! I'm Stas the Founder and Designer at Klokki. I am very excited to launch today and present to you Klokki the rule-based time-tracking for freelancers and makers. Our goal was to make time-tracking convenient and finally remove the need to start or pause a timer. Being a freelancer myself, time-tracking was always something that's in the way because you constantly need to think about it. And yet, it is still very important to have. To put it simply — time = money. So we thought, how can we solve that? Automation is, of course, the first thing that comes to mind. But all the tools that provide automatic time-tracking also take away the control over what I actually want to track and make the whole process of linking time to a project cumbersome. Therefore we've created "Auto-Tracking" which gives you the possibility to configure specific rules for your tasks. With this, you are able to tell Klokki that it should start tracking, as soon as you start working on file-x, or open site-y, or the combination of those two. We've included a variety of options that will give you endless configuration possibilities. But besides the Auto-Tracking capabilities, we also wanted to retain the advantages of manual time-tracking. Hence you still will able to use the traditional start/pause controls. This way you have the perfect balance of automation and full control over your timekeeping. And here are also some of the other features that Klokki has: * Reports that help you visualize and review your data * Flexible folders and tasks structure, which makes it super easy to manage your projects * Klokki lives in your Menu Bar with a convenient mini-tracker * Works offline * Beautiful design, that is natively built for the Mac * Billable hours are also coming very soon * …and much more I am looking forward to reading your feedback and questions, and hope that you'll give Klokki a try by downloading the free 30-day trial at klokki.com. We really put a lot of time, effort and love into developing the app, and hope that you have a great time with it! Thank you all in advance! --- P.S. For the purpose to clear things up in advance — Klokki is a relaunch of the Timepal project, which ended because of a split between co-founders. Therefore I apologize for any confusion this might cause you. And if you are a previous Timepal Pro user, you can switch to Klokki for free. Just write to me at contact@klokki.com to receive the license. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Been using klokki for a while now and I really love it. Creating rules for autotracking is pretty easy and klokki just works which is amazing! One of the issues I had with tracking apps was forgetting to stop the clock when I left my desk, but klokki solves this problem beautifully! If you stopped working on something for more than x minutes (you can set it up) klokki will popup a window and asks if you want to stop the timer on that​ time. Press a button and done! So yeah can't really point anything wrong with the app. Great work 👍

Pros:

Great way to keep track of different projects and tasks with auto tracking​!

Cons:

Could be good to have some templates for auto tracking (but it's going to be implemented it seems 👍)

https://timemator.com/?ref=betalist Why do these applications look the same?

Being able to switch between apps and projects knowing that Klokki will take care of tracking everything is SO worth it. It boosts your productivity and lightens your work routine by making you forget about tracking time - you’ll still have all your reports whenever you need them. It just works as you expect, and that’s kind of amazing

I have been working with Klokki for a while now and I loved it. It helped me keep track of the time spent on client projects. Exporting my reports to send to the client is easy as a breeze 🌊

Pros:

🗄Great way to categorise workflows and track the amounts worked on those tasks 💻Great UI 📊Great Reporting feature

Cons:

Nothing I can think of right now

So timingapp.com has been on the market for years and is doing a phenomenal job at rule based tracking on Macs. Could you explain how Klokki wants to differentiate itself and where it could improve on current solutions like Timing?

Cool tool for help in job management :)

Awesome! 👊🏼

I've been using Klokki for a few weeks to track time spent on my main side product. I've thought about doing this before, but don't have the discipline to start and stop a timer all day. With this in mind Klokki's auto-tracking functionality is a killer feature for me! Since setting up I've been able to just get on with work and let Klokki do it's thing! Keep up the awesome work @moorstas ! 🎉

Klokki is the future of tracking everything what i’m doing in my macbook pro! I really love this app because it helps me to track all the softwares, apps and softwares i’m using for hours, days, weeks and month. This is one of the best MacOS app I ever seen! Congratulations on the launch!!! I can’t wait for more features too in the roadmap. Much love from Singapore 🇸🇬

I'm using Klokki to keep track of my side spent on side projects and have had zero issues with it. It just works!

Pros:

Auto-tracking is flawless

Cons:

More export options and API support would be useful.

Can’t wait for new features updates

Pros:

Save my time and save my money! The best part is auto tracking what i do on my mac

Cons:

None

Absolutely love this! Solves the biggest problem with time tracking!

Awesome work Stas!

Thanks for building this! I have an app called Hourly, but this is even better as it sits on my Mac. Great execution, love the simple design which blends into Mac OS. Congrats overall 🎉🙌👏

Awesome tool @moorstas ! You've done great work!

That a great Product Hunt launch! My sincere congratulations, Stas!

This is such a cool tool! I've been using it this morning since I saw it top PH 😃. I'm currently tracking 5 desktop apps with the "active application" rule, I really love the way it switches between things so seamlessly. It really helps me see that I'm more productive than I thought and it catches when I slip up! I've never used a tool like this before but you've definitely made a quick customer out of me! Bravo @moorstas

Literally perfect timing (pun intended!)! The European Court of Justice just announced companies in the EU will be required to track all sorts of work of employees in the future. Since I think that is some of a challenging task, I'm happy to see a tool that could make this a lot easier. I nowadays often forget to track my time when I'm working on something, this makes mistakes like that impossible. Great job!

I've been using Klokki for 9 days, I'm very happy I can finally have detailed statistics about my days without having to remember to turn on timers each time I switch a task.

Pros:

Auto-tracking. Easily set up tasks and watch the magic unfold.

Cons:

none
