One tap to start
No forms. No setup. Just press play on a project and go. Stop it when you're done — or forget, and drag it back later.

Where did the day go?
Now you'll know.
Dakotime is a time tracker built for brains that lose track of time. One tap to start. Visual timelines. Drag to fix. No guilt, just data.
Features
See your time, literally
A visual 24-hour timeline per project. Not a list of numbers — actual blocks of time you can see and touch. Time blindness, meet your match.
Fix it after the fact
Forgot to start? Started too late? Drag the timeline blocks to adjust. No day is lost.
Know what you earned
Set your rate, and Dakotime shows you exactly what your hours are worth. No spreadsheet required.
Built for ADHD brains
Designed around time blindness, decision fatigue, and low task-initiation energy. Gentle nudges instead of guilt. Concrete next actions instead of giant to-do lists. One thing at a time.
A kanban that knows what you're doing
Backlog · Todo · Doing · Done — except "Doing" actually means a timer is running. Drag a card into Doing and you start working. Drag it out, the timer stops. The board reflects reality, not intent.
Weekly planner that hides the noise
Drag this week's committed tasks onto morning / noon / evening slots. The planner only shows what you've agreed to do — your backlog stays parked on the kanban so it can't overwhelm you on a Monday.
Dako — your built-in ADHD coach
A warm, brief AI that knows your projects, your peak hours, your patterns. Breaks big tasks into 3-5 small ones. Pings you when a timer's run too long. Proactive nudges when you're drifting. Always one concrete next action — never a list of possibilities.
Pomodoro that respects your tags
Tag up to 3 tasks for the Pomodoro page and the timer cycles work / break / long-break for you, rotating through the tagged tasks so each one gets equal attention. Work blocks log time against the right task automatically. End the session and your phone buzzes — even when the tab isn't open.
Notifications that work on your phone
Real web-push notifications — not browser tabs you have to keep open. Install Dakotime as a PWA on iPhone or Android and Dako can ping you when a session's done, when you've drifted past a billing cap, or when a task you marked "on hold" deserves a check-in.
