Painless Time Tracker

It was a major phycological blocker. It's kind of complex to start accepting money on Stripe without a legal entity. I had an old legal entity, but I did not want to mess the accounting. So I decided to go full force and finally opened a company.

I don't have the first user yet, but at least I'm ready and it's more or less straightforward how to setup it legally. Even if it would not work with my very first product I will definitely get some product on a decent level.

I was traveling on a train from the business trip and had a lot of free time. So decided, why not to give it a shot. I will try to write a tool that would help me in my day-to-day routines. At that time I was involved in two projects, in both of them, I had a flexible schedule. The only issue was that I needed to track my time precisely to know how much to bill for each project.

I was using Toggl to track the time, and it was an absolute nightmare for me, often I forget to track some hours, and had to painfully restore the records from my memory, calendar events and chat messages.
I knew about automatic time trackers like Rescue Time, but they would not split the time into projects.

Having a Data Science background I thought that it would be quite achievable to write an automatic tracker that would learn from the categories I enter (project names in this case) and would automatically split my timesheets by my projects.
