Why I built this instead of using existing solutions

The moment a usage tracker asks for half a dozen permissions, something has already gone wrong.

I wasn't looking for another dashboard. I wasn't looking for analytics. I definitely wasn't looking to hand over Chrome access, keychain access or browser cookies. I wanted to answer one question.

"Can I keep coding, or am I about to hit my limit?"

Somewhere along the way, we accepted that simple developer tools should come with permissions, setup steps and dashboards that have nothing to do with the job they're supposed to do.

Maybe we've become too comfortable accepting complexity as the price of good developer tools. I don't think it has to be that way.
