I'm going the plug Clockify as a happy (unaffiliated) user. It's free for small users, and has a good reason for how they make money anyway (it's just advertising for them, they make their money from big customers like Google, IBM, PwC). They have everything and the kitchen sink, but you don't have to use it. For example, open an email or a Google calendar event or a Github issue and they've added "start tracking a new task" inline.

Clockify is definitely a good solution, I have a larger project for group time tracking that I'm working on called Timestrap https://github.com/overshard/timestrap/ too.

The point of Timelite is to not compete with things like this but to be a lightweight quick time tracking solution. It in no way is a Clockify replacement, and if your entire company and development process goes through Clockify then Timelite may be a useless tool for you.

I use Clockify for personal stuff. Is Timelite competing with that?
Nope, not in any way. There's a use for larger solutions like Clockify even if it's just personal stuff and not with a group. I just want a small timer with a log sometimes though and that's what Timelite is for. Clockify is a perfectly fine solution for that too if you need it's features.
Cool. I know it can get annoying that people post competing things on Show HN. Congrats on your project.
