Nice Frank, just bought it and good first impressions. One suggestion.. I am using MacOS little differently than most of the people (I have the dock on Auto-hide mode). Would be nice if this would slide out of the screen too.

Thanks a lot! Sure, currently got a few empty seats that I'd love to fill!

Thank you, some time in the near future I will convert Taim to be also 100% offline for individual users (Account info is currently on the cloud).

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Quitting my job to build Taim was definitely a big step, but it’s been an exciting journey.

Currently, Taim tracks your activity on a project basis. You need to manually assign a task/session name to each activity. However, I'll try to also automate this process in the future based on previous sessions to make it even more seamless.

Taim stores all data locally on your device for Individual licence owners, so you have full control over it. Used application history will be only visible to you.

Thanks again for the support and great questions! If you have any more, feel free to ask.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and insights — it's incredibly valuable to hear from someone who's been through this journey. I really appreciate the honesty and the heads-up about the challenges.

1. You're right, the time tracking space is indeed somewhat crowded, and competing with big players like Toggl and Clockify is a huge task. I'm aware of the uphill battle with SEO and marketing, and your experience reinforces the importance of having a solid strategy.

2. Content marketing is definitely tricky, especially with so much already out there. I'm exploring unique angles and user stories to hopefully stand out, but it's clear that traditional methods have their limitations.

3. Advertising costs for competitive keywords are another tough hurdle. I'll be keeping an eye on creative marketing approaches to get the word out without breaking the bank.

4. The long funnel for desktop software is something I've been considering as well. Ensuring a smooth user experience from download to payment is crucial, and I'll be focusing on making that as seamless as possible.

Thank you for maintaining Qbserve and sharing your learnings. I hope to find ways to navigate these challenges and appreciate any advice or tips you might have.

Wishing you all the best as well, and thanks again for the candid advice!

Cheers!
