This seems like it would really help solve my time tracking needs at work, but having this sending that data to their servers makes it a non starter. Time tracking is my #1 pain point at work right now and would signup today and pay if an offline version was made available.

That's what people have said about passwords with password managers, private keys with keybase, their servers and legal documents with AWS and docusign, their banking with online banking, etc etc. The list goes on and on.

This kind of thing doesn't stop people. I think it just means you end up with fewer good products to use.

It literally just did stop me from using this product... Just because some people choose to trust some companies with some of their data, doesn't mean that it isn't a valid issue.

To be more clear. This won't stop the vast majority of people. They want to use good products. If it's good, they will use it.

There's also ManicTime, which has a Windows-based server component (optional) and tracking clients for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.
