DoneThat automatically tracks work without any manual toggles. Users are in full control and can review, delete, edit anything DoneThat creates. Don, DoneThat's work companion, proactively notifies when you dirft and helps you focus on your goals. Your work gets published in your groups' feeds, so you stay focused, in the loop, and visible without meetings or spyware.
What's great
Love to track my time and have used everything from RescueTime to Toggl. DoneThat does away with manual tracking (in comparison with Toggl) and improper categorization through low-dimensional data (in comparison with RescueTime). I wish it synchronized more directly with Google Calendar since that is my source of truth for everything. As a result, I've built a converter that can take their output format and synchronize it to Outlook, Yahoo, or Google Calendar through .ics file conversion. http://donethat.kran.ai/.
vs Alternatives
Toggl
RescueTimeI use so many different apps in so many different contexts that having rich annotation of the data through AGI is the only logical choice. I used Rewind when it came out but then they pivoted to something boring, I've used RescueTime for a long time but it only knows which tabs are open, and Toggl was my old manual solution for client work which was a joy to manually annotate since you set an intention but it's hard to keep up with in a professional environment where your hours aren't invoiced.

Visibility on where I pass my day and holds me accountable with my tasks and goals 💗
Easy to pause when I need more privacy. Extremely accurate with my tasks
Improves productivity and I feel like I've reduced proscrastination and distraction.
You can also compare to other people and see how others spend their time which is cool.
What needs improvement
It doesn't see what you do offline so whole days of meetings/conferences go untracked.
vs Alternatives
Sometimes I can get distracted and need 'someone' looking over my shoulder haha.
I like seeing tangibly where I spend my time - compared to goals I set myself in the app.
Trust was a big factor - and I liked the transparency of the founder and watched a couple of videos.

As an adept of manual time-tracking I installed donethat expecting to have a lot of nitpicks, but I was blown away. It's hands-off, very granular and impressively accurate from the start. You can even do some personalization if you want to log offline tasks. And the automatic division of tasks into "focus work" and other types of work is a wonderful nudge toward better prioritization. I've been recommending this around me for the past months, and I'll keep doing it!
vs Alternatives
Many other time trackers seemed less granular, when they were automatic, or much less hands-off, when they relied on the user's input. DoneThat seemed to strike a balance, with a nice focus on productivity on top.

Hi PH 👋
Super excited to share my solo-founded project DoneThat. It allows everybody to do what CEOs like Rahul from Superhuman or Sam from Levels have been doing for years: Getting accurate data of your time spent to improve planning, prioritization, and focus.
Check my DoneThat profile to see what it looks like live.
Why would you want that? In my initial group of users I developed this with (thank you for all your support and feedback!!!), the most excited people used it for:
Personal productivity
What gets measured gets managed - many people budget their money but most don't budget their much more valuable resource - time. Because it's hard. DoneThat makes it super easy. Helps with planning and setting time-based goals.
ADHD and accountability
I have minor ADHD myself, and I worked with people who struggle much more with staying on track. The "Hawthorne effect" - somebody watching you - can work wonders here. You can also auto-forward the data to an accountability buddy.
Update meetings
Ever been in an standup and thought "this could take 2min on slack?" From my experience as a CTO this is hard in practice because people don't post consistently. DoneThat automates that - with full control over data with every employee.
It's only the start, so many things I want to do with DoneThat, but in the spirit of "launch early, launch often" here we are! Check out the roadmap of what's coming. I'm especially excited about a personal AI assistant that helps with daily focus.
Think this could be interesting but missing something for you specifically? I created an overview of the most relevant competitors in the field, maybe you find the tool you're looking for there! For example it includes
Fully local apps (DoneThat isn't because AI takes too much power)
Apps that generate timesheets (DoneThat doesn't because I just don't want to focus on that use case)
Open source apps (DoneThat isn't yet because it's very hard to guarantee thats the version I am running on my servers)
Spyware that shares screenshots of your employees working (DoneThat isn't for obvious reasons)
@christoph_hartmann super exciting product - congrats on launching on PH early on!
Also like the competitive overview. Cheers from Germany!
@christoph_hartmann "Congrats on the launch, Christoph! 🚀 Love how DoneThat brings clarity to how we actually spend our time — especially with the personal productivity and ADHD-friendly focus. The transparency and thoughtfulness behind this project really stand out. Excited to see it grow! 🙌"
I've been one of the very early users. The time tracking is nice and very low friction - but really looking forward to see the evolution into more of a accountability buddy for productivity!
@raphael_fritz Accountability buddy is the next one on the roadmap (since a while haha but now that PH launch is done, more space again to work on new things vs stability!)
Been using DoneThat for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s given me a much clearer picture of where my time actually goes, not just where I think it goes.
I really like how simple it is to use without feeling like another “productivity chore.” It quietly gives structure and insight, which makes prioritizing so much easier.
Excited to see how it evolves 👏
@progier_ Thanks! Making it feel like it's not a chore was exactly what I was aiming for :)
No more self-tracking, forget to clock-in / out etc. Just define the task I'm truely interested in. As founder my day is super messy and this helps me review and adjust. Excited to see where this is going.
@jan_mechtel1 Thanks Jan and thanks for all your useful feedback in building this so far!!
I have used that, paid to use that for some time ,and I would continue to use that if my company policy allowed it. I don't use my private computer enough nowadays to justify paying for donethat.ai but I hope my situation changes (e.g. I am the master & commander of my setup) and I will go back to using it. @christoph_hartmann puts a lot of effort in getting and responding to customer feedback, he listens and is very proactive in trying to provide more value and making people more productive 💪🏼
@jakub_n_ Thank you so much <3
Congrats on the launch. Love the privacy first approach. Most AI tools miss that part completely.
“I’ve been using Done That for over six months, starting from its early phases. It’s been a great return on investment, helping me understand how I spend time across different topics and improving my working style. Looking forward to the new features !!
