Consumption vs. Action Analytics Tracker
A desktop or browser tracker that measures the ratio of time spent consuming 'advice' (videos, blogs, forums) versus time spent in deep-work applications (IDE, writing software, design tools).
Por qué es importante
You sit down to start a project, but decide to watch a quick video on the optimal framework to use. Three hours later, you are exhausted from digesting conflicting advice from gurus, and your actual project hasn't advanced a single inch. You mistake preparing to work with doing the work. You need an objective mirror that interrupts your endless scrolling and bluntly shows you the severe imbalance between your passive consumption and your active creation.
- · Creado para Freelancers, creators, and remote workers trying to break out of tutorial hell and analysis paralysis..
- · Monetización más probable: Freemium.

Alcance del MVP · 1-2 semanas
- Decide on platform: Build a desktop app (Electron/Tauri) to track active window titles.
- Implement basic tracking logic that logs active application time to a local SQLite database.
- Create a simple classification system (e.g., VS Code = 'Doing', Chrome-YouTube = 'Learning').
- Build a basic UI displaying the daily pie chart of 'Doing' vs 'Learning'.
- Ensure data is strictly kept local to address immediate privacy concerns.
- Refine tracking for browsers (via a companion extension) to distinguish a tutorial site from a web app like Figma.
- Implement a notification system that triggers a warning when consumption exceeds a certain threshold without action.
- Create a settings page allowing users to manually classify ambiguous apps or domains.
- Set up a simple landing page with a Stripe checkout link.
- Package the installer for Windows and Mac for beta testing.
Diferenciación
Por qué esto podría fallar
Autorrefutación: la señal de confianza más importante
- 1The subjective nature of 'work' vs 'learning' (e.g., reading API docs is both) makes accurate tracking frustrating.
- 2Users may not want a tool that acts like an overbearing manager pointing out their flaws.
- 3OS-level permissions for screen time tracking are becoming increasingly restricted and hard to maintain.
