I kept guessing how much time my side projects take so I built this

I realized I actually have no idea how much time I spend on my projects.

What I mostly wanted was something fast where I can just tap start and later see things like how much time a project actually took this month, or when I usually work on it – evenings, weekends, random bursts.

I wanted time blocks and timeline. Something fast, no pop ones, no ads, no „rate this app stuff”

A big thing for me was privacy. Everything stays on the phone. No account, no cloud, nothing sent anywhere. If you want a backup you just export it yourself.

I also added a few small things that make it more fun. Timeline views of the day, filtering when you have a lot of projects, a little reward system for finished time blocks, and a calendar view that shows which days you actually worked on something. Also every block if you expand it can have own context and you can put screenshots, todos, notes, links etc

And it actually helps me focus. Seeing the timer running makes me way less likely to drift away from the task.

Nothing crazy, just a small tool that helps me see what my side projects really cost in time.

Curious if anyone here tracks time on their projects or just vibes it. If people find it useful I’ll keep improving it. For now it has 1 user – me 😅 This is also my first time sharing it anywhere.

If anyone wants to try it I made a landing page, name of the app is Tactido
