How does this compare to something like Timely or memtime? Is the draw for an individual the one time payment instead of the subscription?

A one-time payment used to be a draw. Now I wonder how long my lifetime access will last until I need a subscription. (TextExpander, Sketch, 1Password, Ulysses, for example)

  Or even just when support ends. "It's been two years, time to buy the new version!"

    I think it would be absurd to expect continuous updates from something you paid for once.

      Sure, but I want to know how long do I have it for. Six months? A year? Five years?

  Ironically, I just started playing around with the newest version of Sketch on their free trial, having bought Version 3 way back or something. And... the performance and UI reliability seems to be wildly worse than ever. Pretty disappointed so far. Features have certainly improved, but when I close a sub menu for colour picking or font selection, the menu doesn't go away. Dragging a selection between artboards is choppy as hell, and it doesn't even seem to be using that much ram. It's like they shot themselves in the foot trying to compete with Figma on the collaboration aspect; while the collab functionality seems fine, the main interface is just getting me down. I am still using 1password 6 standalone though, fuck em it's fine for me.

Great question! You’re on the right track — I hate subscriptions myself. Unlike others, Taim offers a one-time payment option instead of a subscription, making it cost-effective for individuals. Compared to many other apps, it is much more resource-efficient and makes time tracking effortless with various features. With some apps I’ve used, I sometimes don’t want automatic time tracking. Taim allows you to track both automatically and manually.
