This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Crumbs quietly checks in a few times a day. You answer with one line about what you were doing, and it builds a trail of your day. No timers, no timesheets. Every crumb lands in a searchable Logbook, and Reports turns the same notes into totals by category, project or client. Local-first: your trail lives in one file on your own machine. No account needed. Free for individuals, including freelancers. Download for macOS, Windows and Linux.
I built this for myself. I found traditional time tracking tools just added more admin to my workload. Crumbs is based on a hidden feature I went looking for many years ago, that was part of a legacy app. I cannot remember the app, but I recall they released an update and removed the feature. It was lost forever. Eventually I decided to build my own app that leverages a very simple feature: a prompt in intervals to check up what you are busy with. The point is to reduce as much friction as possible when it comes to leaving a quick note. A clue. A crumb that forms a trail.
I use Crumbs. And so do a few of my developer friends. I believe there is plenty room to make this a super simple and beautifully intuitive little app to finally free us from Time Sheets and time tracking!
