A minimal tracker for deliberate people. Log hours by category, set weekly targets, and understand where your time actually goes.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Merlin, the maker of Zeitkeeper. I am incredibly excited to finally share this with you all today. Why I built Zeitkeeper: Like many of you, I wear a lot of hats. I needed to know exactly where my time was going, but every time-tracking app I tried felt either too bloated with corporate features or too simplistic to give me actual insights. I didn't just want a stopwatch; I wanted to understand my habits. So, I built Zeitkeeper—a tool designed to help you not just track your time, but actually master it. Here is what makes it tick: ⏱️ Frictionless Tracking: Get in, start the timer, get out. No cluttered menus. 🏷️ Smart Tagging: Organize your time blocks by project, client, or context so you know exactly what you were focusing on. 📊 Deep Analysis: Beautiful, easy-to-read dashboards that show you exactly where your hours went, helping you optimize your week. 🛠️ Behind the scenes: For my fellow developers out there, Zeitkeeper is proudly bootstrapped and self-hosted. It’s running on a Coolify VPS, powered by PostgreSQL, and built using Drizzle ORM. Keeping the stack lean means I can keep the app fast and reliable. I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or even just how you currently manage your time. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer any questions! Thank you so much for the support! ⏳✨
