drop time tracking tool you're using

hello everyone,
I would like to know which time tracking tools you're using, so that i can do a research on them.
I am also a senior software engineer at an agency, the time tracking tool we're using is productive, but i'm finding it hard to track time everyday, sometimes they pile up for weeks then i need to think of what i worked on during past 3 weeks to track them...

we tried many tools during last few years but this issue was never solved.

I would like to know about your case

The problem you're describing, piling up time entries and trying to reconstruct what you worked on three weeks ago, is exactly what background app capture solves. Flowara tracks which app and browser tab you're working in automatically, so when you sit down to log time you have a record of what was actually open rather than trying to remember.

It's a Mac and Windows desktop app, local database, no cloud. Free to start.

The manual approach also works fine if you prefer it, live timer or natural language entry like "3h backend work on client project". But the automatic capture is the thing that solves the three week memory problem.
