The Problem with Manual Categorization

Traditional time tracking requires you to constantly categorize your activities manually. You switch between apps, stop one timer, start another, and by the end of the day, you've spent more time tracking than actually working.

That's where TrackTop's AI-powered categorization comes in. Our intelligent system automatically organizes your activities into meaningful categories like Development, Meetings, Communication, Research, and even Distractions—no input required.

How It Works

1. Automatic Activity Detection

TrackTop monitors which applications and websites you use throughout your day. It recognizes patterns like:

  • VS Code + GitHub = Development work
  • Zoom + Google Calendar = Meeting time
  • Slack + Gmail = Communication
  • Twitter + Reddit = Distraction (be honest!)

2. Smart Learning Over Time

The more you use TrackTop, the smarter it gets. Our AI learns from your patterns and adjusts its categorization to match your unique workflow. If you frequently use LinkedIn for work, it won't flag it as a distraction.

3. Manual Override When Needed

Not happy with how something was categorized? Simply recategorize it with a single click, and TrackTop will remember your preference for next time.

Real Results from Real Users

Our users report discovering they spend 2-3 hours per day on activities they thought took 30 minutes. The insights from automatic categorization have helped them:

  • Reduce meeting time by 40%
  • Identify peak productivity hours
  • Catch time-wasting habits early
  • Bill clients more accurately
