Hello Product Hunt 👋! I'm excited to launch Trace today, a macOS time-tracker that shows you insights about your app usage. After using many time-tracking apps, I was frustrated that I couldn't see how my time was spent, so I built Trace to solve this. Here are a few things that make Trace so useful: -> It has built-in activity monitoring that tracks all your open apps -> You can visualize your app activity in a color-coded & easy-to-digest timeline - >You can see a daily/monthly overview of your sessions -> It is free & secure: everything is stored locally and doesn't leave your computer! Try it out and let me know if you have any questions/feedback!

@tk4 Hey TK! 👋 Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Trace sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for—I’m all about those insights into where my time actually goes. Love that it’s free and everything stays local. Quick question: does it break down the difference between active and idle time in an app? Also, how customizable are those color-coded timelines? Can’t wait to give it a spin.

@tk4 Congrats on launching Trace! The color-coded timeline and local data storage are standout features that make it both user-friendly and secure. One suggestion: have you considered adding a feature to categorize app usage by productivity level? This could provide even deeper insights into time management. Looking forward to seeing how Trace evolves!

Excited to see Trace launch on PH, @tk4! 🙌 Time-tracking has always been a hassle for me, and your app seems like a game-changer. The color-coded timeline feature for visualizing app usage is a smart touch. Plus, the local storage for privacy really stands out. Can’t wait to test it out and see how it improves my productivity! Upvoted for sure!
