Time Cop for Linux

A time tracking app that respects your privacy and gets the job done without getting too fancy

Overview

Time Cop is a simple time tracking app designed for Linux users that values your privacy.

It does not track you, show ads, or collect any data.

This app helps you keep track of how much time you spend on tasks without any complicated features getting in the way.

Time Cop works across Linux, iOS, and Android devices and is built to function completely offline.

This means your information stays on your device and is never sent to the internet.

The app lets you run multiple timers at the same time.

You can also link each timer to a project if you want to organize your activities better.

You can start, stop, edit, or delete timers easily with just a few taps.

When you need a record of your tracked time, Time Cop lets you export your data as a .csv file.

You can filter this data by time periods or projects, making it easier to analyze.

If you want even deeper access, you can export the whole app database.

The app changes automatically between light and dark mode based on your device’s settings.

It is available in many languages thanks to Google Translate, including English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, and more.

Because it is open source under the Apache-2.0 license, anyone can view or modify its code on GitHub.

One thing to keep in mind is that Time Cop does not include advanced features for power users.

Some translations might not be perfect, and finding the app in stores could be harder since it has fewer category tags.

Overall, Time Cop is a solid choice for Linux users who want a private and straightforward way to track their time.
