🎉 Trackora v1.0.0-beta
After months of development, debugging, GNOME extension battles, Wayland workarounds, UI redesigns, database migrations, installer testing, and countless cups of coffee, the first public beta of Trackora is finally here.
Trackora is a privacy-first activity tracker built specifically for the modern Linux desktop.
No timers.
No subscriptions.
No cloud services.
No accounts.
Just a clear answer to a simple question:
Trackora quietly records application activity in the background and transforms it into timelines, insights, reports, and analytics that help you understand how you spend time on your computer.

🏗️ Built For GNOME Wayland
Modern Wayland desktops intentionally restrict applications from reading information from other windows.
Trackora solves this challenge using a lightweight GNOME Shell extension that safely communicates active-window changes to a local background service.
Architecture:
The dashboard is optional.
Tracking continues even when the GUI is closed.
