Super cool! There are some tricky challenges to solve under the hood to make one-click data entry work, for sure! Curious to learn what prompted you to build this..

I’m using 3 different apps for time tracking, expense tracking, and calendar. Existing solutions don’t integrate well with my niche setup.(for example, time trackers with billable hours don’t work for my side-project with variable revenue) Because I need granular data control and can’t justify a subscription for a small-ish project, I decided to take the plunge. The end goal is to combine all 3 into one place that I have complete control of. (And make a bunch of cool looking graphs to look at)

  Cool! That's my favorite part of this format of "live" documents — based on what integrations exist, the output might be an entirely different tool. What tools do you use for time and expense tracking?

    A couple of small and simple iOS apps after being frustrated with more enterprise based solutions. Thiro [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thiro/id1555982483 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thiro/id1555982483] a basic time tracker that does grouping and reports right. The only thing it lacks is billable hours. Emerald [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/emerald-money-journal/id1437054263 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/emerald-money-journal/id143705...] A super simple expense tracker that does most things right, but unfortunately has a few bugs. It’s the only one I could find available that is privacy friendly and doesn’t have bloat. Both of those apps are made by indie devs and have no subscriptions. In addition, I am trying out timeator[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timemator-time-tracking/id1458451587 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timemator-time-tracking/id1458...] which has the right idea for how I want revenue and time tracking to be integrated.

      Ahh, these are interesting! None seem to have an API though :(
