Learn about vigilant mode.

First public beta. Local-first time tracking with passive auto-detection.

Signals

  • Active-window collector (macOS / Windows / Linux).
  • Git branch watcher over your code directories.
  • IDE folder detection.
  • Read-only calendar integration (EventKit / ICS), with cross-platform
    credential storage (macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager / Linux
    D-Bus Secret Service, falling back to an encrypted file when no OS
    keyring is reachable) (#40).
  • Idle detection with an ambiguity prompt (never auto-discarded).
  • Browser-domain signal via an opt-in, fully local plugin (Chrome /
    Edge / Brave / Firefox) over a local IPC socket — domain only, never
    the URL; no network egress, no keychain (#37).
  • app.category rule condition matches on app category (meeting ·
    editor · terminal · browser) instead of exact app name, so one
    rule covers a whole class of apps (#189).

Rules & suggestions

  • Rules engine matching OS signals to projects/tags, with a test bench
    and a confidence heuristic.
  • Drag-to-reorder rules; per-rule ambiguity behaviour.
  • Suggestions are proposed, not auto-logged (strict-confidence rules may
    auto-start, per rule).
  • Starter-rule suggestions (Meetings, Coding) in the Rules view — opt-in,
    bundled, and dismissible (#189).

Today, reports & entries

  • Live timer and real timeline, with an optional vertical day-timeline
    view (drag-to-resize entries, snapped to 5 min) (#188).
  • Manual entry CRUD; recent + upcoming.
  • Reports with an honesty meter.
  • A visible warning chip when required fields are missing on Stop,
    instead of an easy-to-miss text line (#108).

Privacy & trust

  • No window-title persistence by default; raw-signal capture is a debug
    toggle that defaults off and warns on enable.
  • Exclusion list applied at the collector, before any rule.
  • "View what's stored" panel and a visible privacy contract.
  • Opt-in, retention-bounded activity log for "review your day" (redacted
    window-title fragments only, purged on disable), with its own
    dedicated CSV export (#190).
  • Opt-in update checker — a single signed-manifest HTTPS GET on launch,
    no telemetry, no identifier (#45).

Accessibility

  • Full keyboard navigation + ARIA audit; contrast-audited tokens.
  • Real, wired toggles for each accessibility option.

Onboarding & shortcuts

  • First-run guided flow, global shortcuts, and a ⌘K command palette.

Packaging

  • macOS: signed + notarized universal .dmg when signing secrets are
    configured; unsigned otherwise (#43).
  • Windows: signed WiX MSI (Start-menu shortcut + uninstaller) when
    signing secrets are configured; unsigned otherwise (#43).
  • Linux: .deb (Debian 12 / Ubuntu 22.04+) and AppImage (Ubuntu 22.04
    LTS, Fedora 39+) (#44).

Known beta limitations

  • macOS bundle requires the user to grant Accessibility permission to
    read window titles.
  • Windows and macOS installers are unsigned unless signing secrets are
    configured for the build; SmartScreen/Gatekeeper will warn (#43).
  • Safari extension support is built but dormant — not shipped by default
    pending demand (#37).
