Workflow coverage and comparison notes
Automated local application and window time tracking with personal dashboard without RescueTime, Toggl Track, or Timely cloud subscriptions. All data remains stored locally.
Before you switch
Needs a real desktop session and background permissions. The synthetic X11 test captured one active window; window switching and AFK events were not verified. No cloud team dashboard or invoicing.
