Hi everyone! Excited (and a little nervous) to share Busy Panda with you today.
The problem: Every time tracker I tried - Clockify, Toggl, Harvest - eventually gated the features you actually need behind a paywall. Basic time tracking (a timer, projects, real reports) shouldn't require a subscription. It's not complex enough to justify that.
Hey 👋 I built Busy Panda because most time trackers are either too simple to be useful or too expensive to bother with.
With Busy Panda you can:
Start/stop a running timer in one click
Organize time entries by project (with custom colors)
Add optional notes to each entry
See report totals and a project breakdown chart
Keep everything private and separated per user
It's lightweight (PHP + MySQL + vanilla JS), easy to self-host, and free of subscription nags. Would love your feedback!
