Introducing Time Trakk: Your Personal Work Tracker for DCC Apps

Hey there, freelancers and creatives! 🚀 I get it – tracking your time is a nightmare when you’re bouncing between Maya, ZBrush, Photoshop, or whatever your digital weapon of choice is. That’s why I built Time Trakk – a lightweight Python tool that automatically logs the hours you spend in your favorite DCC software. It lets you focus on creating instead of scrambling to remember how long that last client project took.
Bonus: you’ll know if you’re really getting paid good enough! 💰

What Time Trakk Does

1. Tracks Active Apps
   You set up a list of software to monitor (like Maya, Blender, Photoshop), and Time Trakk quietly tracks how long you're actively working in them. No need to press "start" or "stop" every time you switch between projects.
2. Handles Idle Time
   Step away for a coffee? Don't worry, Time Trakk pauses tracking if you're idle for a while. It’s all about accuracy.
3. Generates a Daily Report
   At the end of the day, get a clean summary of your time spent on each app, down to the minute. Want the nitty-gritty? There's an HTML report with all the session details.
4. Keeps It Out of the Way
   Time Trakk runs in the background (with a neat system tray icon!) and pops up notifications to let you know what’s happening.
5. Friendly GUI
   It’s not just some geeky script you run in a terminal. Time Trakk comes with an intuitive little app to start, stop, and generate reports with a click.

If you know your way around Python and dependency management, you can build your own Conda environment and run the Python script directly.

If not, you can grab a portable executable (that I painstakingly compiled – first time doing this, so it's not very optimized.) which comes bundled with its own Python interpreter and prebuilt environment. No setup, no headaches – just download, click, and you’re tracking your precious time.
