Are people using time trackers that are web sites, not native apps?

I kinda expected something apart from web browser to track my browsing activity, apart from other things. I don't know much about time tracking, though. Hope others more familiar with the niche will comment.

I've actually built something similar for myself using the browser. It was easy to build, as I am very well versed in that toolkit.

But that's where it became a chore. Having it go down with or being managed by tab snoozing in your main browser is not ideal. Having your dev browser open at all times to have it running is not ideal. Having an instance of Chromium or what have you to box the app in it is also not ideal.

And then extending it, doing stats on it, anything really is; you guessed it, far from ideal.

That's why I'm now toying with this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29124874

Maybe have a look at that and tell me what you think, ok.

Do you have any recommendations for good macOS time trackers? I've tried Clockify but the desktop app is extremely lacking and doesn't feel native at all. I've ended up just keeping a browser tab pinned.

Try toggl. The free plan is good for little projects and still allows a lot of organizing.
