stint — macOS menu-bar + CLI client for Solidtime

[mariomeyer]

Hey folks 👋

I've been using Solidtime for a few months and wanted a more keyboard-driven flow than the web UI gives me — and increasingly, I wanted my AI agents to track their own work. So I built stint — a macOS app + CLI that syncs to Solidtime.

What it is:

• A native macOS menu-bar app + main window (Tauri 2 + SolidJS)
• A standalone CLI (stint start "fixing the bug") sharing the same SQLite database as the GUI — start a timer in the terminal, stop it from the menu bar
• Local-first: every mutation persists immediately, syncs to Solidtime in the background with exponential backoff
• Google Calendar integration: log past meetings as time entries with one click
• Keychain-backed tokens (PAT or OAuth via Laravel Passport)
• Signed, notarized, built-in auto-updates

Why the CLI matters more than it used to:

AI coding agents — Claude Code, Cursor, etc. — do meaningful work in my terminal now. They can call stint start "implementing the auth refactor" at the start of a task and stint stop when they're done, with zero human in the loop. The entry lands in Solidtime exactly like a human-typed one, and I get honest tracking of work delegated to agents without having to remember to log it.

For anyone billing AI-assisted work — or even just measuring how much your agents are actually accomplishing — that's a real unlock GUI-only trackers can't deliver.

Install:

brew tap reyemtech/tap
brew install --cask stint

Or

curl -fsSL https://stint.reyem.tech/install.sh | sh -s -- --gui

Why I'm posting: mostly to thank the Solidtime team — your API + auth flows are clean enough that the client was a pleasure to build against. Also so other folks running self-hosted Solidtime can find it.

Currently macOS-only. No telemetry, no account (Solidtime is the account). Issues and feedback welcome on the GitHub repo.
