I needed a super simple way to track billable hours, just Start when working and Stop when done. Existing tools felt heavy.
So I built a tiny desktop app (macOS + Windows):
- start/stop only - project/client - data stored locally - free & open source
Demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19ijgUzdIawszL2qVmWDaF3lkQvg... Code: https://github.com/HustleCoding/time-tracker
Feedback welcome, especially what would make it useful for real freelance work.
