The tracker is called Kairo, coming from an Ancient Greek word Kairos meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.

This is my first time working with serverless - VueJS, Netlify, FaunaDB.

My motivation to build Kairo: I always struggled with time trackers, mainly because of the granularity and the UI. As someone working in an asynchronous environment, I wanted to see how much time of specific activity I have left to do anytime in the day and make sure I do not do more. This made me more focused and productive. On one screen, I have the dashboard; on the other, I am working.

It evolved into a flexible tracking dashboard throughout the past few months, with habit tracking and countdown-alert, creating different features, such as Pomodoro.

There is also a feature Status page, that allows you to share a link with others in the household, telling them when your focus ends.

I am curious what you think about the concept. I know the space with time/habit tracking is very saturated; if it weren't for learning and fun, I wouldn't go in this direction, happy I did now. There are already paying customers, even though it didn't officially launch yet.

You can try the tracker for free without logging in.
