What it is
Maesure.com - can use it without signing up, though it's better to sign up.
Here's what it looks like when you use it for a while:
But why?
I tried a few ways to track time in the past using Excel spreadsheets and various apps. Usually I couldn't stand using it for more than a few days. Eventually I decided to try this approach — and surprisingly, it worked.
It's less annoying that it seems at first glance. The first few times the interruptions are a bit jarring, but once you get used to it, you mostly don't notice it anymore. After a day or so, you will be able to answer most of Maesure's popups with one click or two keystrokes because it will accumulate a list of your most recent answers.
Who uses it
So far, it's been most popular among people who must track their time for work, either to bill clients or to report time on projects.
A few, including me, have used it to improve personal productivity. I've written about my approach here.
Future plans
Eventually there will be a paid version, though that's still some time away. In the meantime, feel free to let me know what's working or not working for you - I try to respond quickly to the users
Cheers and happy Maesuring!
