Have you ever wanted a minimal, flexible time tracking tool that respects your flow as a developer or freelancer? After building tools for clients for years, I finally built one for myself β and now I'm sharing it with you.

What is TimeTracks?
TimeTracks is a no-nonsense time tracking platform with:
π Live clock-in/out
π Reports by user, project, and task
π Token-based API access
π’ Multi-tenant support (organizations and teams)
βοΈ Designed to track background jobs and CI/CD pipeline durations
β‘οΈ Built on DynamoDB, Express, and JWT for speed and flexibility
All data is scoped by organization, so multiple teams can track time independently β whether you're solo or running an agency.
𧱠Why I built it
As a software engineer, Iβve often needed to track billable hours, task durations, or just personal productivity β without relying on bloated SaaS tools. Most solutions either felt too heavy or didnβt integrate with how I work.
I also wanted:
A clean API-first design
Serverless backend with AWS Lambda + DynamoDB
Developer-first ergonomics
Ability to track automated or background processes, not just human time
TimeTracks is currently in open beta β early users will have free lifetime access.
π§ Tech stack
Backend: Node.js, Express, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB
Auth: Email + password or API key, JWT access & refresh tokens
Infra: AWS CDK (IaC), API Gateway, Lambda

Would you use it to track CI/CD jobs or async workflows?
Do you want integrations with GitHub, Notion, or Jira?
