lotti

What it does

Records tasks, planned blocks, tracked time, voice notes, journal entries, habits and health data in a database on your own devices, with no account and no server involved - the distinction between intention and outcome is deliberate, and useful when reviewing where time actually went. Because nothing is synced by default, losing the device loses the record: decide how you will back it up before you start.

You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.

Does lotti work on a phone?

Can I use lotti commercially?
