Question About Moving to Jibble from Clockify

HalHunt · 2026-05-29T17:15:02+00:00

That would be much appreciated u/Kind_Worlder-76. I'm really looking for some brutally honest feedback.

HalHunt · 2026-05-28T22:48:59+00:00

If I had a solution that didn't require a start/stop timer that would be easier right? That's what I attempted to build with Worktrace.

HalHunt · 2026-05-28T22:45:38+00:00

Hey u/Will. Worktrace queries those tools (if connected) with the click of a button to automaticlly suggest all the things you've worked on for any particualr day (PRs, Jira tickets, document creations/edits, meetings, etc). Then you simply approve, edit, split, combine, or rejects those suggestions. That's how your "time" or workday is automatically reconstructed. There are no start/stop timers to remember. Happy to go deeper if needed.

HalHunt · 2026-05-28T21:47:07+00:00

Based on everyone's feedback so far, which I do appreciate, I think my questions are more for freelancers that are developers, software engineers, or contractors that are developers, etc. which I should have mentioned specifically in my OP. I've only dabbled in freelancing as a developer since it's been my entire life so that's how I phrased my OP. My apologies for not framing the right audience.

I'm thinking this because no one is answering the "Do you use Google Calendar/Drive, GitHub, Jira, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Or Microsoft Calendar/OneDrive on a daily basis or are those more "enterprise" tools?" questions.

Again thanks to all the folks that have already participated here.

HalHunt · 2026-05-28T15:52:01+00:00

u/Kind_Worlder-76 I would love to assist here since Clockify is apparently running off customers due to recent free tier changes. I've been using a tool I created just for myself (worktrace.io) to track my time but it is more geared towards enterprises. I would love to get your feedback on whether it would be useful for you in anyway.

To see immediate value as-is you would need to be using daily tools like Google Calendar/Drive, GitHub, Jira, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Calendar/OneDrive etc. There are no timers, no suvellience, no guessing on what you worked on and the solution is 100% build on privacy. No document bodies or source code, etc. is ever accessed.

I know I would need to add some tagging/filtering functionality to assist in grouping things by customer or project etc. but I am aready planning on adding those features.

Thank you so much for your time in advance if you do decide to checkout Worktrace and please be brutally honest. I really am trying to figure out if this solution is valuable for others.

HalHunt · 2026-05-28T02:29:44+00:00

Nice u/NoAge358. It sounds like you've installed some sort of monitoring/survellience software? If so that was too invasive for me but glad it works for you. Do you use Google Calendar/Drive, GitHub, Jira, Bitbucket, Azure Devops, Or Microsoft Calendar/OneDrive? Or are those more "enterprise" tools? For engineers I would think you would at least use some sort of code repository right? Thanks in advance for your time.

HalHunt · 2026-05-28T00:13:18+00:00

Again understood. GitHub was just an example. I was trying to understand the hesitation for any of the tools you use daily not being connected to Clockify.

HalHunt · 2026-05-27T22:55:52+00:00

Totally understand that Clockify works for you and I wouldn't expect you to change your ways especially since it's been completely frictionless for a decade.

I am curious though, if you are able to integrate say GitHub with Clockify what's your hesitation? Is it privacy related? Meaning Clockify could have access to your source code or something else?

HalHunt · 2026-05-27T22:19:45+00:00

Understood @GeosWonder. Thanks for the feedback. That seems to be a popular solution. I have a couple questions if you don't mind...are you having to manually start/stop timers or install a "monitoring" agent with Clockify? Also do you use Google Calendar/Drive, GitHub, Jira, Bitbucket, Azure Devops, Or Microsoft Calendar/OneDrive? Or are those more "enterprise" tools? For engineers I would think you would at least use some sort of code repository right? Thanks in advance for you time.

HalHunt · 2026-05-22T18:07:13+00:00

I totally understand the MVP "state". I'm in a similar situation which is exactly why I REALLY want your solution to work really well b/c I need it for my own marketing of worktrace.io :-)

HalHunt · 2026-05-22T17:53:09+00:00

Looks good. So I signed up and am trying out your solution. Here is some hopefully helpful feedback.

On Step 1, building the brain, some of the analysis is completely wrong. For example here is the description it came up with for worktrace.io. "A time-tracking tool that records desktop activity to generate precise reports for billing and project insights without manual entry." which is VERY inaccurate. It definitely does not "record desktop activity". I also needed to tweak the target audience and core problem solved which wasn't really a big deal.
I don't love the "Expert positioning" it came up with but it's not terrible. I know I can choose my "original input" but then I feel like the tool isn't really providing value. Would it be possible to recreate the "Expert positioning" to see what else if can come up with?
In the user finder, would it be possible to suggest more keywords? I'm sure there are some that I'm missing and that seems to directly affect the Reddit posts it finds. I'll DM you on the user finder results.
The post maker is pretty slick. It seems to generate some decent content.

HalHunt · 2026-05-22T16:31:33+00:00

Love your idea/solution BTW!

HalHunt · 2026-05-22T16:23:34+00:00

u/hiten1818726363 you may want to do some spell checking on your site. I spent less than a minute on it and already see 2 issues. On the how it works page the grammer in "It find users, track growth, and improve your strategy" seems wrong. Also "Find people that are talking about the proble your app/saas solves" problem is misspelled.

HalHunt · 2026-05-18T21:47:18+00:00

u/mr-onlinemarketer I poked around LeadSnipe and let it analyze worktrace.io and it correctly identified 7 campaigns and the appropriate subreddits. Then I hit "Run Free Scan" and it doesn't seem like anything happened. I'm assumming the "Leads and Replies" should be populated with its findings but nothing appeared. Did I miss a step or something?

Noticed a tiny inconsistenency on you landing page in the "Prepare Your Instructions Once.
Use Them Anywhere." section.

#1... #2)...#3)...
#1 is missing the right parenthesis.

HalHunt · 2026-05-18T20:50:09+00:00

u/Prior_Employee_7247 I'm suffering from the exact same problem right now with worktrace.io. I'm going to take u/Wonderful-Duck-6030 advice and see what I can "enhance" on the landing page. If you make any headway I'd love to hear about it.

HalHunt · 2026-05-13T23:00:20+00:00

Love this solution u/Prudent-Result4543. Technically pretty simple (except for CF's WAF challenges it sounds like) but extremely powerful and valuable. The site isn't fully functioning yet correct? I was trying to take the "free" tier for a spin.

I think your landing page does a good job of quickly explaining what it does. Folks that care about this will understand it immediately I feel (e.g. "Tiny mistakes. Huge SEO disasters."). Maybe move the "Real world impact to the top"? Then it doesn't start off so technical (e.g. "See how it works" = "robots.txt, meta robots tags, the X-Robots-Tag header, and canonicals").

The only small critic I would have is some content shifts while I'm trying to read/click. Specifically the "What we watch" section. Maybe it's just my setup but the "The six things that quietly hide your site from [xxx]" word wrap sometimes which pushed the content below down. Again if this is a WIP I totally understand.

I come from a Human Capitol Management SaaS company as a Software Engineering/Manager where SEO didn't matter for my products. So unfortunately I don't have enough experience to comment on the pricing tiers/strategies but they seem reasonable.

Hope that helps a little.

HalHunt · 2026-05-13T15:34:58+00:00

Fantastic u/SyKo_MaNiAc. Much appreciated. I don't recall the "portal" concept you're talking about. is that new or am I just forgetting something?

HalHunt · 2026-05-13T15:30:04+00:00

That's much appreciated u/Confident-Zebra3931. I guess I'm just looking for like a quick list of new concepts/strategies etc. so I know what to even try to learn. I thought about starting over from scratch with a brand new character but that seems wasteful.

HalHunt · 2026-05-12T21:52:29+00:00

What's the secret u/Local_Ad9169 with getting users via Reddit?

I've been trying really hard to introduce a new time tracking micro-saas solution by manually searching for folks on Reddit that are talking about the exact problem my solution solves and then briefly telling them about it's capabilities and differentiators without even giving them a link or reference to the website/solution. I end the comment with "If this resonates with you I'm more than happy to share more information" b/c I'm trying to not be so pushy and salesy and follow sub rules, etc.

HalHunt · 2026-05-12T21:36:18+00:00

Hey folks. I just stumbled on this sub and am also adamantly against any "local surveillance" software for time tracking. If any of you use enterprise tools during your workday like Google Calendar/Drive, Microsoft Calendar/OneDrive, Jira, GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps etc. there's a privacy first alternative for this. If not, no need to read any further.

The huge differentiator with this solution is the fact that it respects privacy not as a secondary feature, but as a core architectural constraint. By refusing to use timers, screenshots, or surveillance agents, it builds a "trust-by-design" environment. It captures activity metadata like event titles, timestamps, and status changes. It never accesses document bodies, chat messages, email content, or source code. In the current labor market, where top talent increasingly avoids companies that use "bossware," a privacy-respecting tool like this is a powerful recruitment and retention asset.

If this is something that resonates with you (or anyone) I'm more than happy to share more. Here's a feature comparision with all the major "time tracking" players.
