Comment on Ask HN: How do you track your work hours?parent

Wow, Timing looks really nice!

It's a bummer that no time tracking App really seems to focus on cross platform support. I've been looking for a time tracking app myself and couldn't find one to support my situation.

I have: - A Linux desktop - A MacBook - An Android Phone - Offline activities I want to track

Have you tried one of the web-based ones? Like Toggl or Rescue Time? Or manual with a custom setup may be the way to go - e.g, my current time tracking is a bunch of markdown files with YAML front matter keeping track of the specifics, and Obsidian (a cross-platform note-taking app) provides the "UI" for viewing the data from these files in a meaningful way. The cost of setting this up is non-trivial: but worth it if you are in it long term IMO :)

I've tried rescue time, but wanted a solution with as little friction to actual tracking as possible.

So, ideally I'd like to have a one or two click tracking solution which rescue time did not really provide.
