Hello Product Hunt 👋! I'm excited to launch Trace today, a macOS time-tracker that shows you insights about your app usage. After using many time-tracking apps, I was frustrated that I couldn't see how my time was spent, so I built Trace to solve this. Here are a few things that make Trace so useful: -> It has built-in activity monitoring that tracks all your open apps -> You can visualize your app activity in a color-coded & easy-to-digest timeline - >You can see a daily/monthly overview of your sessions -> It is free & secure: everything is stored locally and doesn't leave your computer! Try it out and let me know if you have any questions/feedback!

Finally, a time-tracking app that's easy to use and provides actionable insights. Congratulations on the launch!

The idea of having a daily/monthly overview is fantastic. Trace seems to provide a clear picture of app usage. Looking forward to testing it out!

I love the focus on local storage for privacy . Trace’s detailed activity monitoring and easy-to-digest timeline are exactly what’s needed to manage time better.

I haven't tried so I can't give you too much insight, however, the simple home page is great.

The color-coded timeline feature of trace is a smart way to visualize time spent . How does it handle overlapping app usage?

Trace’s built-in activity monitoring looks like a great feature for better understanding app usage .

Congrats on the launch! Trace sounds like an amazing tool for macOS users. I love how it tracks app usage and gives a clear view of time spent. Quick question - is there a way to customize the color-coded timeline, or is it predefined? Thanks!

@tk4 Congratulation on your product launch 🚀. I admire the design patterns of Trace, and I believe my background in User centered design aligns well with your team’s needs. Will you be needing a Product Designer?

The color coded timeline is especially helpful for quickly assessing which activities are taking up the most time. I’m really impressed by how this app breaks down my daily app usage in such a visual and intuitive way.

Is there any plan to offer Trace for other platforms like Windows or mobile devices? I think it would be awesome to have this level of insight across all my devices

The easy to digest timeline makes it simple to identify where improvements can be made. I also appreciate the focus on data privacy, which is so crucial these days.

The color-coded timeline feature sounds pretty cool! How customizable is it? Can I choose different colors for specific apps or categories? That would help me personalize it to my workflow .

This time tracker is a turning point for my productivity! The built in activity monitoring and color coded timeline really make it easy to see where your time goes. It's great to have such a clear overview of daily and monthly sessions.
