Niixel

I always wanted to build something that helps me track how I spend my time. For a long time, I had no clear idea where my hours were going. I tried maintaining an Excel sheet, but that didn’t last long. Then I tried a few time tracking apps, but most felt overly complex. I just wanted something simple that I could actually use every day.

That’s how I ended up building Niixel. It’s a Progressive Web App for tracking time, managing tasks, and analyzing productivity patterns. You can install it directly from your browser on mobile or desktop, just like a native app.

The idea is simple. Create a task, for me it’s things like upskilling, building, or meetings, and start the timer when you begin working. Stop it when you’re done. The app automatically records your sessions and gives you reports that actually make sense.

You can see quick stats for the day, week, or month, along with streaks and breakdowns of how much time went into each task. My favorite part is the task detail view where I can see a heatmap showing what times of day I worked on that task. It’s been surprisingly useful to spot my productivity patterns.

Would love feedback from anyone who tries it out.
