I never really knew how many hours I was actually coding each day.

I'd sit down at 10am, blink, and suddenly it's 6pm. Or I'd feel like I worked all day but actually only coded for 2 hours between meetings, distractions, and YouTube rabbit holes.

I looked for a solution. Most tools required an account. Some sent your data to their servers. Others needed manual start/stop — which I always forgot.
