Rapid Activity Tracker is being rebuilt from the ground up around one idea: tracking your time should take seconds, not attention — whether you're billing clients or just curious about your own day.
Every major tracker treats speed of entry as a checkbox feature. We think it's the whole point. The moment tracking feels like work, people stop doing it — so every design decision starts with the same question: how do we make this take less of your attention?
Track by client and project, with your logged hours ready to become timesheets and invoices.
No client, no invoice, no pressure — just a clear picture of how you actually spend your time.
The design principles behind v1 — each one aimed at the same target: a tracker that stays out of your way.
One tap from open to tracking. No forms, no required fields — categorize now or later, your choice.
A shrinking-disc visual timer makes elapsed time concrete while you work — not just a number quietly counting up.
Lost in a task for hours? A soft "still on this?" nudge instead of a jarring alarm — designed for deep-focus workers.
Missed logging something? Backfill "roughly the last two hours" without guilt. No broken streaks, no shame mechanics.
Business and personal time in one engine — group by client and project, or by simple personal categories.
A glanceable end-of-day timeline that tells you something about your day — not a dashboard you have to study.
Honest about where we are: Rapid Activity Tracker is in active design and development. Here's the build order.
Re-architecting from what the first version taught us: a new data model, new product design, and the new web app core — start/stop tracking, categories, and the daily reflection view.
Accounts, editing, tags, and a small group of early testers. Want in? Say hello.
Invoicing and timesheet exports for billable users, multi-device sync, and a mobile app designed for offline use.
I've spent twenty years building data systems that help businesses understand what's actually happening — and I kept noticing that the hardest data to capture accurately was my own time. Not because tracking tools don't exist, but because they all quietly assume you'll do the work of remembering, categorizing, and clicking through their screens.
I built the first version of Rapid Activity Tracker for myself, and it proved the idea. This rebuild is about doing it right: fast enough that starting a timer costs nothing, visual enough that time feels real while it passes, and forgiving enough that a missed entry isn't a failure — and built on an architecture worth launching.
Not yet. The original version has been retired while we rebuild it properly — the new version is in active design and development. If you'd like to hear when testing opens, email support@asadris.com and we'll keep you posted.
Both, by design. The same core engine handles billable client work and personal time awareness — you choose which lens fits your day.
The core design is fast manual tracking — you stay in control of what's recorded. We're exploring light, optional assists (like a "looks like you're doing X — tap to confirm" prompt), but nothing that silently watches everything you do.
Pricing isn't set. The working plan is a free personal tier, with paid features for client billing and teams — and given how people actually use tools like this, we're seriously considering options beyond the standard auto-renewing subscription.
Rapid Activity Tracker is designed and built by Asadris LLC, an independent software and business intelligence studio founded by Peter Smith.
