Everhour
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
Time tracking that lives inside other tools: a timer appears on your issues and tasks in the project tracker you already use, and the hours roll up into reports.
Build a timer that reads your tracker rather than living inside it. STACK - SQLite, a small Node app, your tracker's API THE SHORTCUT - Do not write a browser extension per tool. Sync the task list instead - Poll the tracker for open issues assigned to you; that list is the timer's dropdown ENTRIES - Start, end, task id, note; exact timestamps in UTC, rounded only on export - One running timer at a time, and starting another stops the first visibly BUDGETS - Hours budget per project, with the burn computed at query time - Alert at 80% and at 100%, once each, not on every entry REPORTS - Hours by project, by person and by week from the same rows Include the tracker sync, the schema and the budget alerts.
What you lose
- Browser extensions that inject a timer into a dozen project tools and keep working as each changes
- Budgets and alerts per project against tracked hours
- Reports and invoices generated from the same data
If you would rather not build
- Toggl Track with its browser extension
- A CSV of task ids and minutes
