Very good idea. I'm currently using Clockify to track my personal time and would love to switch to this if it works well. I like the visualization on the donut chart something that Clockify does not have. But I could not figure it out in my short testing. After creating a task, there's no way to start time tracking and mark a task as complete. I only see the "update" and "delete" button. Also, does the tool automatically recognizes the tasks and group them into categories that we have to create? This tool has potential but needs better UX and onboarding. All the best for the launch! :)

@kenmoo The tool does automatically recognizes the tasks and groups them into categories that you can create as you said. On tasks, once you've completed a task, you would note it with "New Task" (~completed task). The duration recorded for this task is equal to the timestamp from your last task to now. An example is, let's say you stopped watching a movie at 11 PM, you created a "New Task" for i.e. movie. After the movie, you're browsing Product Hunt, let's say you're done at 12AM, you create a "New Task" for i.e. web browsing. Your duration for web browsing is 1hr. Our concept for the time tracker is that your time is constantly moving forward (i.e. you're always doing something). If you're unable to track, you can name it as "Unaccounted" for example, and then resume adding "New Task" once you've done something. We have an add "Missing Task" feature in case you want to sort any unaccounted time. The gain with this method of tracking we found is that, you are not forced to change your habits, or think about a task before you do it. Well noted on the improvements, we're working hard to improve on those areas, we appreciate your feedback!

Hello Product Hunters, 👋 Our story and why we built Janni: During the lockdown, we've been working and doing all of our personal tasks from home, the same as you. At first, personally, I feel like I did not have a clear idea of how I was spending my time. Was I working or too much or not enough? What did I do in the last 24 hours? Am I spending my time in a healthy manner? It seems my days have more or less blurred together, this made me rather depressed, maybe you can relate. I decided to start tracking my time with a spreadsheet on my phone, and I found that the data was incredibly helpful for understanding where my time went in the last 24 hrs, 7 days, or 30 days. Analyzing it has helped me gain a lot of clarity, and with this data, insights, and trends, I was able to adjust to get closer to my targets. 🎤 Interviews: We reached out to about two dozen friends and family members, and the recurring topics from the talks were: 1. often feel like you lost track of time 2. zero days - where you feel like a day has suddenly gone by but you can't recall what you did and whether you were productive 🌸About Janni: - Combined with our experiences, we wanted to build a personal time analytics tool to help you keep an eye on your time, from A to Z, and you can do so simply, and easily. - Our goal is to help you thrive, in busy, unpredictable environments, by enabling accurate and effortless visibility into your use of time. - We created Janni with simple, streamlined, intelligent features, over time significantly reduce your efforts. - With insights, and reports, we hope to help you make informed decisions day-to-day, or during highly important projects. - We aim to help you achieve satisfaction from spending time more how you would like to. ➡️Where to find us? We're working to improve your experience every day, feel free to let us know what you think! - 🧑‍💻desktop at Janni.app - 📲 at Janni.app (for easier access to New Tasks, you can "Add to Home Screen") - 🍎 iOS app pending! - 🤖 Android app pending! Oh, and it's free!

Hey @daniel_trung_hoang, congrats on the launch! I really like the idea of this, how do users go about tracking how they spend their time?

Hey @calum, thank you! to track your time, you would note down a task that you've completed with "New Task", this task will have a duration equal to the time from the last task to now. When you're ready to review your insights, you can smart link a task to a category. Finally, the category will be represented on the donut chart, and insights table (we're working on adding more reporting capabilities). This method of tracking allowed total customization for the user, and we found did not force us to change our current habit, think about a task before we do it.

I have a lot of tasks and I think there might now be more task manager apps than tasks! I've created an account, but I already have a task manager app, so I won't be using it for tasks - if I do at all. Having created my account and logged in, I am presented with a mostly blank screen and I'm thinking... what now?! A demo video (and maybe demo data too) would be good, a tutorial that darkens half the screen would be bad - I hate those because darkening other elements make it hard to see how it connects to other parts. I have done some time tracking myself using a spreadsheet I made and refined over a long time, but I don't track each and every single little task, I just record the level of productivity based on one of a small number of fixed activities (not tasks) done regularly.

Hello @ianmayman , thank you for creating an account and taking the time to give us your thoughts! We appreciate it. We're working to build a greater onboarding experience for our users, a demo video would be good. Great notes on tracking productivity based on a number of fixed activities. Will take your suggestions into considerations for our next update.

Any ideas on how we can reduce the burden of data entry from the users?

@hawk_eye, Thanks for pointing out this issue with the burden of data entry So far, we've added a smart-link feature, where any task and category can be linked. Once they are linked, the program will remember and match automatically. After that, you should only need a task name. We're working on this, soon we hope to reduce even further the burden of data entry.
