ChronoStreak

👋 Hey Product Hunt, I’m Arun, the person behind ChronoStreak. This didn’t start as a startup idea. I do a lot of research-heavy work. Lots of reading, thinking, switching context. Which usually means… a ridiculous number of tabs open. I’m still on a MacBook Air 2020, so once that happens, everything starts lagging. But the bigger problem wasn’t the laptop. By the end of many days, even after hours of work, I genuinely couldn’t tell if the day was actually done or not. I wanted a very simple answer to a few things: how many hours I really put into my targets (reading a book, building something, working on an idea) whether my daily to-dos were actually completed whether I could honestly call the day “successful” Most productivity apps I tried made me feel productive, but didn’t really answer that yes/no question. So I built a strict prototype just for myself. One rule: If the planned work + time weren’t met, the day didn’t count. No soft streaks. No motivation tricks. At some point, I realised this might actually be useful for other people too, so I put it live as a small web app MVP. Then I kind of went full builder mode and kept improving it until it slowly turned into something that looks like a proper SaaS. That’s how ChronoStreak happened. The core features are completely free. I want people to be able to track effort honestly without having to think about paywalls.
