Why one more time tool?
Every hour of deep work is worth something. But most productivity stacks make you jump through hoops to capture it — start a Pomodoro in Forest, then open Toggl, then log the time, then add it to your spreadsheet tracker, then wonder why your Friday retrospective doesn’t match what you actually remember doing.
Trakby exists to close that loop. A focus session that starts a time entry. A time entry that feeds a report. A report that sharpens next week’s plan.
Toggl is excellent at what it does. But it’s two products — Track and Focus — with a seam between them. That seam is where the truth about your time gets lost.
Why now?
Toggl Focus mobile has known stability issues. Their two-product structure means the loop is never fully closed. The individual user who loves their time is underserved. That’s Trakby’s market.
What we
believe.
These aren’t mission statement platitudes. They’re the constraints that shape every product decision.
Trakby is personal intelligence — built for anyone who cares about where their time actually goes. We design for the person doing the work, not the manager reading a report.
Every extra tap, prompt, or "what did you work on?" dialog is a failure of design. If a focus session can auto-log a time entry, it must. If a user thinks "I should track this but it's too annoying," we lost.
Reports exist to change behaviour. A "planned vs actual" chart only matters if seeing it makes you estimate better next week. Analytics in Trakby are designed around insights that feed back into the planning pillar.
No screenshots. No app monitoring. No passive activity tracking. You choose what gets tracked. We don't infer from your keyboard. Privacy isn't a setting — it's a founding constraint.
We post our own Trakby data every Friday. Planned hours, actual hours, focus sessions, what slipped. If we don't use our own product to track our own time, the product has failed.
What’s built.
What’s next.
No secret roadmap slides. No vaporware promises. This is the public plan — updated weekly.
Global timer bar, tasks + time entries in one view, focus session auto-logging, project management, week calendar. The core product.
Capacitor-based native app. Same global timer bar, same project tags, same focus auto-logging. Shipping before Toggl Focus stabilises theirs.
Client management, billable hour summaries, invoice generation. Built on top of the existing billing type data model — no schema migration needed.
Workspace scoping, team capacity analytics, shared projects. The same data model extended — users bring Trakby to their agency.
Our data. Posted every Friday.
We use Trakby to build Trakby. Every Friday we post our own weekly report — planned vs actual hours, focus data, what shipped, what slipped.
