I will admit that I am a sucker for productivity apps and am really enjoying using TimeMaster so far. I have used a heap of similar apps to this and while this isn’t a powerhouse, it is a very solid early stage contender.

Pro’s so far:

Modern and pleasant to use AI.
- Low memory footprint regardless of whether it is in the foreground or background.
- Tracks all activities as accurately as others I have used like Rize and Rescuetime. (Rize did not do this as well straight out of the gate.)
- Founder seems very capable, open and committed to making it a success. The app seems to be very nicely made and modern.
- Has been set up to require almost no configuration. I also have used “Timing” which is a wonderful app in it’s own right but requires a lot of user classification and set up to get working. This is basically good to go out of the box.

Con’s

- There is an issue at the moment where Arc browser is not tracked as granularly as Chrome. Apparently a fix is on the way in the next few days though.
- Interface while great could be further refined for productivity to make it amazing.
- No cross device tracking, mobile apps or PC / linux support. (Although I as a Mac user I selfishly don’t mind if the focus is on that platform and we all know deep down that PC are the beta race these days lol). On the flip side, while tracking everything would be great, I am ok if it just makes me more productive at my Mac at the moment.
- Not as feature rich as something like Rize at present.

My advice to prospective purchasers:

If you don’t have a similar app to track your time and activities, this will work just fine out of the box and I think it’s well worth the investment as is. At the very least you will have something that tracks time well and pretty accurately. If you have something like Rize you are probably covered unless you are looking for something simple and lightweight in a good way. This is still early stages compared to Rize but much earlier in it’s journey.

My advice to the founder:

You have a very good foundation for an amazing productivity app. If you keep on the track of making it simple and pleasant to use while integrating modern productivity principles that a lot of freelancers, knowledge workers and creatives desire you have the potential to build something truly amazing here. A lot of this community will have great suggestions but stick to the vision of what you want to build and don't try to implement absolutely everything if it doesn't fit with that vision. Best of luck with the launch!
