The core loop is small enough for a capable coding agent to produce a useful local version in one sitting. For Timing, track Mac application activity privately and assign blocks to projects. The hard boundary is deep macos automation, rules, sync, calendar integration, and reporting polish, plus ubiquitous capture, coaching, and team workflow.
Der Moat
Ein Moat ist der Burggraben um ein Produkt: alles, was ein Nachbau nicht einfach mitkopieren kann, etwa Nutzer, Daten, Verträge oder Vertrauen. Je tiefer der Graben, desto eher lohnt sich das Abo trotz KI-Agent.Zuverlässigkeit und sauberer Feinschliff sparen dauerhaft Arbeit.
Der Prompt
Build a personal replacement for Timing in an empty repository. Use Tauri 2, React, TypeScript, SQLite, and optional OS accessibility APIs; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: track Mac application activity privately, assign time blocks to projects, review patterns locally, and export a transparent activity record. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Create one-click start and stop, manual entries, idle detection, tags, projects, and notes. Keep any application-name tracking opt-in and never record window contents or keystrokes. Add Pomodoro-style focus sessions, break reminders, and an optional allowlist blocker. Provide daily, weekly, project, and category reports with editable corrections. Export CSV and JSON and make the underlying event log inspectable. Add automatic local backups and a privacy screen explaining every collected field. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Deliberately leave out employee surveillance. Deliberately leave out payroll and billing automation. Deliberately leave out cross-device blocking and behavioral coaching services. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used.

People still pay for Timing because the timer is simple, but people pay for frictionless capture and a history they trust enough to invoice or change habits from. The recurring cost buys idle detection, permissions, app metadata, privacy, notifications, sync, reports, integrations, and backups, not just the visible interface.
