Daily Dial – Time Tracker & Focus

Paint your day on a 24-hour dial, then see whether the time went where you meant it to.

🕐 Paint your day on a 24-hour dial. Pick a category, drag across the hours — a full day logged in about 10 seconds. 🤔 WHY ANOTHER TIME TRACKER 📝 Forms are slow — a category, date, start, end, times eight blocks a day. Nobody keeps that up. 🤖 Auto-trackers miss real life — no interview, no textbook, no conversation, just window titles. ✅ Daily Dial: one drag. Fast enough for every day, honest enough to catch everything. ✍️ HOW IT WORKS 🖱️ Drag around the ring to paint — or press 1-6 for a pen, 0/E for the eraser ⌨️ Type it instead: "9-11 deep work" or "9pm-11pm study" ↩️ Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z undoes one stroke at a time, 30 deep — Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes 📋 Copy yesterday into today in one click 🧭 A live needle always marks "now" 📅 Jump days with the arrows, or click any bar in the 7-day strip 📊 WAS TODAY ACTUALLY PRODUCTIVE? 🎯 A daily score, from your categories' weights 📈 % of tracked time that was productive ⏳ Your longest unbroken focus streak 💬 A plain-language read: what led, what dragged, blocks or fragments 👁️ Untracked time shown, never hidden — no quietly flattered numbers 🔥 STAY WITH IT 🔥 Streak counter — one missed day a week forgiven, so one slip doesn't cost you weeks 🎯 Optional daily goals per category, with a progress bar 📬 Optional weekly recap: time tracked, top category, best day, streak 🎨 MADE YOUR OWN 6 category slots — rename, reweight, hide the ones you don't use. Defaults: Deep Work · Applications · Study · Admin · Break · Distraction 🔒 Renaming is safe — days store the slot, never the name, so history never rewrites. 🌍 IN YOUR LANGUAGE 🗣️ English · العربية · 中文 · Français · Deutsch · हिन्दी · 日本語 · Português (BR) · Русский · Español 🔤 Follows your browser's language, or pick one yourself in Settings ↔️ Arabic reads right to left, layout and all ✍️ Only the app is translated — your own notes and category names stay exactly as you wrote them 🔔 GENTLE REMINDERS ⏰ Two optional daily nudges, times you choose (default: midday + evening wrap-up) 📬 Optional weekly recap, also off by default 🤫 Everything here is off until you turn it on 🔒 YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS 🚫 No account with us, no sign-in required 🚫 No server of ours — nowhere for your data to go, by default 🚫 No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking 🚫 No host permissions — Chrome won't let it contact arbitrary sites even if it tried 🚫 No content scripts — never touches your other tabs 🚫 No third-party code, and no "tabs" permission (that's "read your browsing history" — a time logger has no business asking) 📤 Export to CSV (opens in Excel/Sheets) or a full JSON backup, restore by merge or replace 🖼️ "Share as image" renders your day as a PNG, built entirely on-device ☁️ OPTIONAL: BACK UP TO YOUR OWN GOOGLE DRIVE The one exception to "nothing leaves your device" — and it's off until you switch it on. 🔑 Sign in with Google → backup goes to a private, app-only folder in your own Drive (appDataFolder) 👻 Invisible in your regular Drive, unreachable by any other app 🔌 Disconnect anytime to revoke access, or permanently delete the file with one more click 🙅 Nothing syncs in the background — every backup and restore is a click you make 💻 OPEN SOURCE MIT licensed. A few small files of plain, unminified JavaScript — readable in an afternoon. 🔗 github.com/pranav083/daily-dial-extension ℹ️ WORTH KNOWING ⏰ Reminders only fire while Chrome is running 🔄 No automatic cross-device sync — Google Drive backup covers manual restore instead ⏱️ Blocks round to the nearest 15 minutes
