@hugohamelcom this is why I was asking you about the community, seems like lot of makers are there! :)
From 2021 to 2023, Lisbon grew a lot and attracted a lot of people. I personally moved there from Canada because my wife is Portuguese, and we were looking to get closer to her family while also being in Europe, so Portugal was a good option (we considered Berlin, but it was too complex with the language barrier and all).

Okay, not sure if it's gonna be helpful, but I'm just gonna dump my mental model about this on you ๐ฌ
So, I never liked trackers for various reasons. One of the main ones is that I lack the discipline to manually track or enter information into the tracker. As a result, with most products, I never got anything super useful. Not because the products were lacking, but because I couldn't utilise them properly. So I knew I needed something that could track automatically.
After trying a few that do automatic tracking, it seemed, while they produced some results, they too, were not super useful without a bit of manual intervention. That is until I found Rize.
Rize works in a way that can give you a very decent insight into your time without really manually doing anything. For me personally, and I believe its the case for a lot of others as well, the value of a time tracker is as good as the insights in can provide you without feeding it manually. There are trackers that can be phenomenal with manual intervention, but they often do pretty terrible at automatic tracking. Rize somehow hits a good ceiling in that regard.
In terms of features I use the most: I like their heads-up when I get distracted (that happens a lot, haha). I like the focus score and the email reports. Honestly, I rarely open up the app itself and tweak anything. And that's the beautiful thing about it: you can set it up and forget about it, and it just works.
If an alternative had to win me over, it'd have to do all these, but better ๐
I've used a bunch of other trackers before Rize. So you could Rize was the alternative I was looking for. Never looked into anything else since Rize as it meets my needs.
That's really interesting. yeah, I tried a couple before Rize, like qotoqot.com/qbserve/ , timingapp.com/ , but something about Rize that really click.
What is the single feature that you used most in Rize, if I may ask?
