Personally, I'd love to see this working without having to send data to the Koala servers. My job has some strict policies on what data can be send to third party servers and I'm not sure how this relates to project/client names/details. I imagine others are in the same boat.

I believe it would be relatively simple to calculate time locally and then display the totals in some custom Atom buffers.

Dev here.

You can actually configure a .koala file in the root of your project to define what to send to Koala.

Nevertheless, I see your point. I'm thinking of going open source and releasing a community edition so you can set-up a hosted version. Would that be interesting for you?

Thanks for the response!

Sweet, I didn't realise that. A self-hosted version would be cool. For my own projects I don't mind sending data, just for corporate work its more difficult. Having something I could run on my own machine and periodically get reports from without having to manually enter time constantly would be really handy.

No problem, thanks for checking Koala out. :)

I'll send you a ping once the self-hosted version is available. In the mean time feel free to send any feedback to martijn@getkoala.co. :)
