Hey everyone π β Khiem here, maker of **Are You Productive**.
I built this because I was tired of two things:
1. Losing 3 hours a day to TikTok and YouTube without noticing π
2. Every "solution" wanting my email, my data, and a monthly subscription to tell me what I already half-knew.
Existing trackers like RescueTime are heavy, cloud-based, and quietly upload everything you do. I wanted the opposite β something that just sits quietly on my Mac, tells me the truth about my day, and actively shuts the distraction down when I ask it to. So I built it. π οΈ
**What makes it different:**
- πͺΆ ~12 MB install, <1% CPU β native Apple Silicon (Tauri + Rust)
- π 100% local β no account, no cloud, no telemetry, ever. It only reads the front-most window title β never your keystrokes or screen.
- π Focus Mode actually *blocks* β closes distracting apps and overlays a nudge on distracting sites the moment you open them
- π Honest hour-by-hour insights so you can see exactly where the day went
- π§ Especially helpful if you have ADHD time blindness β the feedback loop is the whole game
And it's **completely free**. π No paid tier, no "pro" features locked away. Windows 11 version is in the works.
Would love your honest feedback β what's the first distraction you'd block? π
(P.S. shoutout to the Hunters and early testers who helped shape this π)
