Imo Lacks illustration / color. I know you're following material design (right?) but I personally don't like the style. I'd love some more 'personal design', with text more suited to people rather than workers.
For example, instead of "Total time spent on project" you might consider a different text based on how much time someone has spent on the project:
under 10 hours: "Whoof, on the grind!"
Over 10: "Man, you're doing amazing!"
Over 20: "Doing numbers!"
etc.
And then under that a subtitle: "Here's the total amount of time you've spent on this project..."
Making the app more illustrated with both text and real illustrations could do it a real solid, making it a true joy to use. See the app as not only a productivity tool, but also a tool that people will use each day, a friend to help you track.
Thank you very much for your suggestions! Adding a little bit more personal touch could be nice. I am not really sure about the illustrations though. I personally tend to use the app in a small window to have it always visible on the screen so there is not much space. But maybe this could be something when using the app in a bigger window or it could be used as a background for the app header. I will experiment with that! Thanks again!
I didn't want to sound that bad :( I just wanted to say that some people tend to set the clock and not follow any rules on this to only get an achievement for the time using the app.
10 hours spent on code does not mean 10 hours of quality ;)
This brings me to suggest an actual achievement system - I think it would be more fun in getting the achievements for completing big tasks, doing tasks faster (close to what Lucas said) or by even changing the colors of the GUI, completing projects without overtime.
I think it would be a good pointer for people learning to use it. Something fun to code with :)
Didn't mean it as achievement system. I only meant that it could change periodically, for example after a certain amount of time tracked, to see the app change a little bit, dynamically. The point was to make the app more fun. Anything that gets that done is great in my opinion :)

Hope that helps a little bit. :)

I do actually disagree with Lucas here. This is a productivity app not a motivation one.
I have found an issue on the web app. The bottom bar is hidden and on a 2:1 screen size phone it gets hard to reach out.
I have started to use and will come back to your post at the end of the week with what I like or what I don't.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts about it!
What's the harm in creating better, more personal, phrasing, and making the use of the app more fun?

Also a good idea :)
