One week, reconstructed from 412 file saves and 96 URL visits.
01 · MEMORY VS RECORD
The week you remember isn’t the week that happened.

14 context switches 23 min of deep work on Tuesday
Reconstructing a week from memory misplaces about 20% of it. The record doesn’t.
02 · WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS
Patterns you can’t see from inside the week.
Longest focus block

This week’s ceiling. Next week it can be the floor.

Each one taxes you roughly 23 minutes of re-entry.

Four meetings turned one workday into confetti.

Surfaced from the record, straight onto the invoice.
03 · WHAT YOU DO WITH IT
A true record is leverage.
Defend your mornings
Decline the 10:00 with data. “My deep work happens 09–12” is hard to argue with when it’s a chart, not a feeling.
Say no with numbers
“That integration ate 31 hours” lands differently than “it took a while.” Scope the next one accordingly.
Plan honest weeks
Set capacity from your record, not your optimism. Plans built on real numbers survive Wednesday.
Bill what happened
If you invoice, sessions become line items in seconds — including the hours you’d have forgotten by Friday.
04 · HOW IT WORKS
Three minutes to a self-writing calendar.
- 01
Install the watcher
Windows, macOS and Linux — plus browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
- 02
Point it at your work
Choose folders to watch and URL patterns to match. That’s the entire setup.
- 03
The calendar fills itself
Every save and visit becomes a session on day, week and month views.
Timestamps and file paths only — no content, no screenshots, no keystrokes.
05 · THE CALENDAR
Sessions become a week you can read.

08 · FAQ
Fair questions.
Is this another dashboard I have to feed?
No. Temporal.ist has zero input fields for time. The desktop watcher logs sessions from file saves; the browser extension logs them from URL visits. You open it to read, never to write.
What counts as work?
Only what you point it at. You choose the folders the watcher monitors and the URL patterns the extension matches. Everything outside those is invisible to it.
Does it watch weekends?
Only if you save files in a watched folder. No activity, no record — and you can pause tracking any time from the tray icon.
Can I fix wrong sessions?
Yes. Automatic doesn’t mean read-only. Edit, split, reassign or delete any session straight from the calendar.
Is it private?
The record is timestamps and file paths only — never file contents, screenshots or keystrokes. Data lives on EU servers, with GDPR export and delete built in.
