Now you can keep a ledger of your time. Designed for simplicity: just tap buttons to record your day without typing. Analyze patterns to discover where your time leaks.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m a solo maker from South Korea.
I’ve always been obsessed with productivity, wanting to cut down on wasted hours and focus on what matters. But I realized I didn't actually know where my time was going. It felt like time was just leaking away without me noticing.
That’s why I built Time Ledger. The idea is simple: Manage your time exactly like you manage your money.
Personally, I hate "organizing for the sake of organizing." Complex tools often become another chore. So, I focused entirely on simplicity:
- No typing: Just tap buttons to record your day.
- Visual insights: Check your productivity patterns at a glance.
- Minimalist: A simple design to help you focus.
I hope you find this tool useful. As a solo maker, I genuinely appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Please let me know what you think, and I'll keep improving the app based on your thoughts.
Thanks!
Time trackers lose me the moment they need typing, I don't keep up. Time Ledger letting you just tap buttons is a good call. The money metaphor gets stronger with a weekly budget and actual view plus a quick end-of-day reconcile to fill gaps. That keeps the ledger honest.
I can never find my main goal; I spend all my time on trivial matters and observing. What a good idea.
wow, an interesting idea and perception out there. congrats on the launch! trying it out already
The "time as money" metaphor resonates—I've wasted entire afternoons without realizing where they went. One friction point I've had with other time trackers is category fatigue: I start with 8 categories, then it's 15, then I stop using it. How does your button-only interface handle that? Do you limit preset categories, or does it learn patterns over time to suggest what I'm probably doing?
“No typing, one‑click tracking” hits the core pain point of time management—lowering the entry barrier is what drives consistency. Two tech angles worth watching: does it support automatic app‑usage capture (with permission)? Can its analysis link to calendars or task systems for auto‑tagging? If it can clearly reveal “time sinks” (e.g., “you spent 3 extra hours on XX site”) while keeping the interaction simple, it could become a high‑frequency efficiency tool. Added to my test list, focusing on mobile quick‑capture and cross‑device sync.
Congrats on the launch! One thing that felt missing to me is the ability to log time as actual time blocks (e.g. 9am–1pm) rather than only adding hours via +1hr / +2hr buttons. For a “ledger,” I instinctively think in terms of start–end times, which would also make entries feel more precise and easier to review later.
The UI looks incredibly clean, and the features have definitely piqued my curiosity. I’m going to give it a spin for a few days and will be back to share my full feedback soon!"
This looks super handy! As someone who's terrible at tracking time, I love the 'no typing' part. Does it actually help you stick with it long-term though? I've downloaded so many time apps only to forget them after a week. 😅
Mad respect for shipping this — especially as a solo builder. It’s refreshing to see something that feels thoughtful and well-executed.
What was the hardest part of getting this out the door? Rooting for you on launch day
The "no typing" approach is exactly right. Every time tracker I've tried requires too much friction to actually use consistently. Curious how granular you recommend going - do you find people get more value from tracking by the hour or by activity type? Either way, the money metaphor makes time waste viscerally real in a way that abstract "productivity" never does.
Love the money metaphor. I've tried so many time tracking apps but they all feel like work. The tap-only approach is key - the moment you have to type something, the habit breaks. Congrats on the launch from South Korea!
Congrats on the launch! The ledger concept is very intuitive. Do you have plans to allow exporting this data into CSV or integrating it with tools like Notion?
Would love to try it, but unfortunately “This app is currently not available in your country or region.”-notification when I click on the link 😭 (EU, BXL)
For Android users :
The app is currently under review by the Google Play Store. I will post an update here as soon as it goes live.
