Show HN: Open-source time tracking using screenshots

We built a desktop app that screenshots your screen periodically, runs it through a vision model, and stores the context locally. Then it pipes everything into your AI tools via MCP.

Most people we showed it to started using it to generate timesheets.

Any ideas for what else this could do are welcome!

Just what I'm looking for, but I'm reluctant to trust a third party with full time screen recording of my device... Any chance of local processing (or even custom LLM endpoints) in the future?

we support local models, just configure the custom endpoint and model name and you're good to go
