Automatic time tracking triggered by file saves
Hype can't move this line. Only verifiable outcomes do.
No money. No seat. It doesn't move the price. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
by reality anchor — the price money can't pump
Dev. Launched 6d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #550. Today, the site itself changed 14h ago — evidence it's still shipping, not just announcing. It's anchored at 1,716 pts, with the crowd paying +4% on top.
It placed #550 on PeerPush with 30 votes.
A launch's opening price comes from where it placed on its own board, normalised across all 12 platforms we watch. That's deliberate: #1 on a small board beats #40 on a huge one. It's how a launch nobody saw can still be worth more than one everybody did.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
Moving right now. The clock only starts when a launch goes quiet.
We fetch this site every day and hash what's on it. A founder can post “still working on it” — but if they actually shipped, the page changes. That's the only claim we price: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The story so farEVERY MOVE, AND WHY▾
2 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. Repriced every day, no cliffs. A launch that goes quiet bleeds a little at a time, so there's never a drop you could have run from the night before.
No names, on purpose — a call is worth what it turns out to be worth, not who made it. And none of this money moved the price: the line above only responds to what the launch actually did.
Momentum on its boardDOESN'T MOVE THE PRICE▾
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day. This is the crowd's attention — it does not move the reality price. Only verifiable outcomes do.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Temporal.ist is automatic time tracking for people who bill by the hour and can't stand filling timesheets. There's no timer to start or stop — you just work. A lightweight desktop client (Windows, macOS, Linux, AppImage) watches your project files, and extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari track the URLs you point them at. A session opens on a file save or a page visit and closes itself once you go idle — 15 minutes by default, and you can change it. It all lands in a web dashboard with projects, clients, sessions and a calendar view. Here's the part that makes it different from most "automatic" trackers. The others are activity monitors: they watch which app or window has focus and hand you a vague log like "Editor 3h, Browser 1h, Slack 30m" that you still have to sort into clients by hand. Temporal.ist doesn't guess from which app is open — you define per-project patterns once (file globs like `~/work/dmi/**`, `*.ts`, `!node_modules`, and URL patterns like `app.dundermifflin.com/*`), and when a file you changed or a page you visited matches, that time is tagged to the right project and client the instant it's recorded. No after-the-fact "assign this block to a project" cleanup, because attribution already happened at capture time. That pattern approach also tightens the privacy story. It only ever looks at the file paths and URLs you explicitly chose to track — not everything you do on your machine. It logs only timestamps and which file or URL touched them — never the contents of your files, never your keystrokes. No screenshots, no productivity scores, no mouse-jiggle surveillance. Sessions stay editable rather than black-box read-only, so you decide what actually gets billed. Add EU data residency, one-click export (JSON/CSV), full account deletion, and a flat promise not to sell your data or bolt ad-tech onto the app, and you get a humane alternative to monitoring tools like Hubstaff and Time Doctor. When it's time to get paid, billable sessions become invoices in a click — auto-numbered (ORG-YYYYMM-XXXX), with draft/sent/paid/overdue statuses, PDF export, per-client rates, currencies and tax. You also get visual analytics (a time-distribution donut, activity bar charts, project breakdowns, daily timesheet heatmaps), CSV/PDF reports, live active sessions over WebSocket, and team/organisation support. And because the desktop client stores everything locally first, it keeps working offline and syncs once you're back online. Pricing keeps it simple: a Solo tier that's free forever (unlimited folders, no credit card), plus paid Pro and Teams plans.

The board it did beston sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also landed in that board's top 25% — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
