Track your time without being tracked

Furtherance

Furtherance is a time tracking app, with a native interface on Gnome, Windows, and Mac. It allows you to track time spent on different activities without worrying about your data being captured and sold.

Features

• Tasks are saved in a database with an unlimited capacity. It can be backed up for security and portability.
• Tasks are grouped by name and date.
• Tasks can be edited after they are created (name, time, and date).
• Settings to customize the view and defaults to your liking.
• Features can be added! Just open an issue.
