Re:Ask HN: What are good self hosted time tracking software ... by jabroni_salad on Friday December 16, 2022 @09:36AM (#34014924)
I've been using manictime for awhile. You can host a server if you need to, but for solo use it works standalone just fine.

At the end of the day I have a candybar of time with titles of open window titles. Over the years I have added a lot of auto-tag rules and I just need to fill in a few gaps. It can do screenshots but I have that turned off since the window titles are sufficient for me.

The time I spent writing this will be tagged as "admin - not productive"

I was a longtime user of TimeSnapper, but stopped tracking time entirely for a while. I've recently started with ManicTime and am very happy with the UI and features. It takes very little time to track, even when you don't auto-tag.
