Why most systems fail

  • Manual tracking, tags, and journals: more admin than the habit usually survives.
  • Lots of data, little insight: exports and spreadsheets that sit half reviewed.
  • No feedback in the moment: drift shows up after the week is already gone.

DoneThat is easy

  • DoneThat reconstructs work in the background: no timers, no manual logging, no end of week guesswork.
  • Don, DoneThat's coach, surfaces patterns from your real work so you skip raw-log analysis.
  • Don nudges you when you drift off goals, while you can still fix it.

Productivity without the work

We combine best practice coaching tools without making them a burden for you.

Goals that follow the way you actually work

Set input goals around where time should go, then compare them against the real week instead of relying on memory or guilt.

Don's toolbox

Don has an ever expanding toolbox to work with. You decide which ones you like. We have seen people who want Don to check in every five minutes to make sure they stay on track, and others who just want a pat on the shoulder every now and then. Just tell Don what you need and he will adjust.
What Don does, and how often

    Motivate once or twice throughout the day.

  • Meeting reminder3 / 5

Mood and patterns, not just raw logs

Quick mood check-ins build a rolling view of how work has felt. Don can spot changes in your average moods over time and use those patterns to make coaching more personal.

Optional social accountability

The Hawthorne effect is the simple idea that people behave differently when work is visible. DoneThat uses that for light accountability: share summaries with followers or your team when you want the nudge, or stay fully private. A public profile is optional too.

Your week in reviewFriday, 16 Aug: three things worth knowing
  • Focus is up 3h on last week, all of it before noon.
  • Meetings ran short 9 times out of 14. Consider shrinking the defaults.
  • 41 Slack visits landed inside focus blocks. Batching twice bought you 2h 10m.

How it works

The desktop app watches the work quietly. Every frame it captures lands as a five-minute sliver on your day. At the end of the day they merge into the tasks you actually did.

I've tried numerous time tracking apps and DoneThat is somehow both effortless and accurate.
