The problem

You manage 4 clients, 3 side projects, and a full-time job. Your time tracker doesn't know where you are.

Every context switch is manual. Click the taskbar. Find the window. Start the timer. Every single time. It adds up — and your billing suffers.

How it works

Three seconds. Zero friction.

01 / TURN

Rotate the knob

Turn the encoder to your next project. The OLED highlights it with a live timer and large project number — visible from across the room.

02 / SWITCH

Desktop jumps

The companion app jumps to the matching virtual desktop via Bluetooth BLE in under 100ms. Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+.

03 / TRACK

Time tracks itself

Previous timer pauses. New timer starts. Your hours are always accurate, always up to date — without a single click.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need to install anything?
Yes — a small companion app. It installs like any normal application: download the .exe (Windows) or .dmg (macOS), double-click, done. Runs silently in the background. No Python, no terminal, no technical setup.
Will it work with my PC or Mac?
Yes. Standard Bluetooth BLE 4.2 — any computer with built-in Bluetooth or a cheap USB BLE dongle works. No special hardware required.
What if I use fewer than 6 projects?
No problem. Use as many slots as you need; unused ones stay blank. Rename slots anytime from the companion app — changes appear on the OLED instantly.
When does it ship?
Targeting 4–5 months after the campaign funds. Manufacturing starts only once we hit the goal — this protects both us and backers. Exact dates confirmed during the campaign.
Is there a subscription?
No. One-time purchase, lifetime software updates included. No cloud account, no monthly fee, no telemetry. Your data stays on your machine.
International shipping?
Free shipping within the EU/EEA. International (US, UK, Canada, AUS, etc.) available as an add-on at cost. Confirmed during the campaign.
Can I export my tracked hours?
Yes. CSV export from the companion app for any date range. Also a JSON endpoint for syncing to Toggl/Clockify/Harvest if you want.
