Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Timex because I was tired of time trackers that demanded my data, my email, and my credit card every month. Every tool I tried sent my activity to the cloud, forced me to manage projects, or interrupted my flow with timers. So I made the time tracker I actually wanted: **100% local, zero accounts, zero cloud, zero telemetry.** It lives in your menu bar and automatically captures where your time goes — apps, windows, browser tabs — into a local SQLite file on your Mac. It uses <1% CPU, never phones home, and your data is literally just a file you own. It also includes a smart break timer with 7 exercise types (your back will thank you) and a "clamshell mode" that keeps your Mac awake with the lid closed — built because I got tired of my local LLM inference jobs dying when I closed my laptop. No subscriptions. No lock-in. Your data, your machine, your file. Would love your honest feedback — especially from anyone who's been burned by cloud time trackers before. What would you want to see next?
