I'd be careful about creating these types of apps because a lot of people (especially developers) value privacy.

What your describing is monitoring everything I do on my computer and then likely transmit it to your site. Even if it didn't transmit anything I would still be reluctant to use it unless it were open source.

To detect whether or not you're working on what you're supposed to be working on, you'll probably end up recording what window is focused every few seconds right? You might want to hack together an auto hotkey script (Windows) to do this. With a bit of AHK knowledge you could probably write a prototype in a day.

Wow, AutoHotkey looks cool - maybe it is nice for doing a first prototype.

Yes, I would check the focused windows, but also would take screenshots to evaluate (with OCR/NLP) whether the email you are writing really relates to your todos.

I would not store those data, neither locally, nor transmit them to my servers, as I am very concerned about security (if my servers get hacked, then I don't want to have anything sensitive on them).

Privacy issues aside, re: screenshots, that sounds like a lot of work for a MVP esp when most people are quite happy with a better pommodore or similar solutions.
