Hello Product Hunt 👋! I'm excited to launch Trace today, a macOS time-tracker that shows you insights about your app usage. After using many time-tracking apps, I was frustrated that I couldn't see how my time was spent, so I built Trace to solve this. Here are a few things that make Trace so useful: -> It has built-in activity monitoring that tracks all your open apps -> You can visualize your app activity in a color-coded & easy-to-digest timeline - >You can see a daily/monthly overview of your sessions -> It is free & secure: everything is stored locally and doesn't leave your computer! Try it out and let me know if you have any questions/feedback!

@tk4 Hey TK! 👋 Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Trace sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for—I’m all about those insights into where my time actually goes. Love that it’s free and everything stays local. Quick question: does it break down the difference between active and idle time in an app? Also, how customizable are those color-coded timelines? Can’t wait to give it a spin.

@tk4 Congrats on launching Trace! The color-coded timeline and local data storage are standout features that make it both user-friendly and secure. One suggestion: have you considered adding a feature to categorize app usage by productivity level? This could provide even deeper insights into time management. Looking forward to seeing how Trace evolves!

Congrats on the launch! Trace sounds like an amazing tool for macOS users. I love how it tracks app usage and gives a clear view of time spent. Quick question - is there a way to customize the color-coded timeline, or is it predefined? Thanks!

Awesome launch, @tk4! 🎉 Love how Trace focuses on visualizing app usage with that timeline feature—it's a game changer for productivity! The local storage for privacy really resonates too; so rare in the time-tracking space. Can't wait to see how this can improve my daily workflow. Upvoted!

Also would be great to have settings where I can hide timer in the menu bar, I would like just leave the app working in the background without big number in the menu...

Hey, I really like the concept behind Trace! Does it track browser usage too?

@oliviajanemitchell No, It doesn't track browser usage, at least not in this current version. I'll keep this in mind for future releases.
