Nice Frank, just bought it and good first impressions. One suggestion.. I am using MacOS little differently than most of the people (I have the dock on Auto-hide mode). Would be nice if this would slide out of the screen too.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! Quitting my job to build Taim was definitely a big step, but it’s been an exciting journey.
Currently, Taim tracks your activity on a project basis. You need to manually assign a task/session name to each activity. However, I'll try to also automate this process in the future based on previous sessions to make it even more seamless.
Taim stores all data locally on your device for Individual licence owners, so you have full control over it. Used application history will be only visible to you.
Thanks again for the support and great questions! If you have any more, feel free to ask.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and insights — it's incredibly valuable to hear from someone who's been through this journey. I really appreciate the honesty and the heads-up about the challenges.
1. You're right, the time tracking space is indeed somewhat crowded, and competing with big players like Toggl and Clockify is a huge task. I'm aware of the uphill battle with SEO and marketing, and your experience reinforces the importance of having a solid strategy.
2. Content marketing is definitely tricky, especially with so much already out there. I'm exploring unique angles and user stories to hopefully stand out, but it's clear that traditional methods have their limitations.
3. Advertising costs for competitive keywords are another tough hurdle. I'll be keeping an eye on creative marketing approaches to get the word out without breaking the bank.
4. The long funnel for desktop software is something I've been considering as well. Ensuring a smooth user experience from download to payment is crucial, and I'll be focusing on making that as seamless as possible.
Thank you for maintaining Qbserve and sharing your learnings. I hope to find ways to navigate these challenges and appreciate any advice or tips you might have.
Wishing you all the best as well, and thanks again for the candid advice!
I understand your skepticism, and I appreciate your honesty. The presale is a way for me to gather early supporters and fund further development. Rest assured, I am committed to delivering a high-quality product and the first users will get their hands on in 2-3 months already. Account was created a while back for sure by me, just wasnt a Y user before.
Regarding the flashlight effect, thanks for the feedback! I'll look into that.
If you have any concerns or need more information, feel free to ask. And thanks for the compliment on the website design!
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I appreciate your insights and comparisons.
Taim is indeed inspired by the need for an intuitive and efficient time tracking solution, and while it may share some similarities with apps like Klokki (I heard about it for the first time). I'm aiming to bring a unique blend of features and usability. My goal is to balance robust functionality with a user-friendly interface that doesn’t get in the way.
Regarding pricing, I hear you. I want to make Taim accessible and valuable, and your feedback is crucial as I refine the approach. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. I'm committed to iterating and improving.
Currently, Taim is going to be available for macOS, with plans to add Windows support next. Yes the UI is built with web-based technologies, specifically using SvelteKit and Tailwind CSS, and it runs on Tauri, which allows for a lightweight and native-like experience.
Thanks for the comparison! Yes, Taim works similarly by tracking active windows and recording window titles and processes, but it can also be turned off. I aim to provide a seamless and accurate time tracking experience, just like ManicTime did. If you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know!
Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate the comparison. I’m glad you like the look of Taim. I'm aiming to include advanced reporting features, including the ability to show the percentage of time spent on different projects throughout the day. If you have any other suggestions or features you’d like to see, feel free to share!
Thanks for your feedback! Currently, Taim licenses are tied to your account, so you can sign in on multiple devices, including both your Windows desktop and Macbook, just the other device will be logged out. I apologize for any confusion regarding the supported platforms. Im focusing on macOS first (that's why there is also macOS mentions everywhere), with Windows support coming next. Appreciate your input!
I understand the challenge. Taim addresses this by allowing you to categorize your activities and sessions manually, in addition to automatic tracking. You can relate your time spent in apps like Notepad++ and Mobaxterm to specific projects or clients. This way, you get a clear, billable number that’s tied to the actual work you did. Thanks for your feedback, and I hope Taim can solve this problem for you.
Being totally honest, not really. It is currently also not finished and no integrations have been made for that. Thanks for making me nervous haha, removed it from the footer for now.
Oh you really scanned through everything :D There will be "ignore list" and as you can see the "Suggestions" screenshot, this does exactly..almost that, sees that those applications & windows belong to one project with 87% certainty ;)
