DoneThat - Where do you spend your time?

DoneThat captures your work in the background without a timer running, which means the log builds itself while you get on with the actual job. Every short frame lands as a five-minute sliver on your day, and those slivers merge into tasks at the end. The payoff is simple. You never have to remember to start or stop anything. It only sees what happens on the machine, so phone time stays invisible. That's the catch.

The app doesn't just log app names and window titles. Its AI groups raw activity into the tasks you'd actually name, so a week of work reads like a week of work rather than a wall of timestamps. That naming is where automated time tracking earns its keep. If something lands in the wrong bucket, you can rename or drop it in the review. That takes seconds. The higher tiers use stronger models, and Pro raises the recording frequency so the detail is finer.

Don reads your work and responds in the style you pick: a coach, a cheerleader, or an accountability buddy. Call it an AI productivity coach that actually reads your week. Longer thinking time is reserved for the Pro plan, which matters if you want more considered feedback rather than quick notes, and the difference shows up in how specific the advice gets. This is the part that separates DoneThat from a plain tracker. It nudges you about how the week went, not just how long it was.

You set where the time should go, then watch the real week land against that plan, and the gap between the two is what tells you whether the month is heading anywhere useful. No self-reporting. No end-of-month guessing. Reviewing the week project by project takes a few seconds, and the gaps are usually the interesting part. That's the whole point. It's a simple loop, but it's the one most time trackers never close.

Live meetings get imported from your calendar, and DoneThat can schedule events on your behalf. Off-screen time can be logged too, so a client call or a whiteboard session still counts toward the day. This fills the biggest blind spot in passive tracking. Anything that doesn't happen on screen disappears otherwise. Simple, but it closes the gap.

Core and Pro connect DoneThat to tools you already run, including API access, MCP, Zapier and n8n. You can sync active projects, analyze your data, and post updates in both directions. Daily recaps can go to Slack, Discord or your inbox, and you review each day first so you can drop anything private before it shares. Only the task names are shared. Never the extra detail, and only with people you approve.

DoneThat is built around European data privacy, with the team based in Amsterdam and no surveillance-style extras bolted on. Not bad for a tracker. CSV exports let you move your own data whenever you want. That matters. For anyone tracking client work, that combination is often the deciding factor.
