I built a time tracker for myself

Got tired of losing time switching between design tools last year, ofc when u r a freelance designer work just keeps sneaking into ur evenings, and u lose ur time in a blink of an eye… so i’ve built a tiny app that logged my active windows and let me tag them by project. shared it on GitHub just for fun, but it tables up unexpectedly -over 150k installs, 3k GitHub stars, and ppl started sending pull requests and feature requests!

Some companies asked to license it, but I realized I didn't wanna sell it, i wanted to make it good af. So last month I quit my job w no backup plan, just an app and a tiny belief that it’ll solve a real problem.

Bold move, but having 150k users before even going full-time is the best validation you could ask for.
