Research & Writing
Time
Jalaran Time logs hours against named projects with a live stopwatch or manual entries, and rolls them up into hours and billable amounts per period.
Who Time is for
For freelancers and consultants who need to invoice accurately, and for anyone who wants to know where a week actually went. It is deliberately not a focus practice — sometimes you just need the hours.
What Time does
Time is a plain project log: start the stopwatch, stop it, tag the entry to a project, or add the entry by hand afterwards when you forgot to start it — which is most of the time, so manual entry is a first-class path rather than an afterthought. Periods roll up into hours and billable amounts with hourly rates in Indonesian rupiah natively, and AI writes a short commentary on the period. Where Focus is a deep-work practice with intentions and rituals, Time is bookkeeping.

How Time works
Set up projects and rates
Named projects with hourly rates, denominated in rupiah rather than converted from dollars.
Run the stopwatch, or do not
Live tracking when you remember; manual entry when you did not, which is a supported path rather than a fallback.
Read the period roll-up
Hours and billable totals per project across the period you are invoicing.

What Time does not do
Time does not generate or send invoices — it produces the totals an invoice is built from, and Finance is where the money side lives. There is no automatic tracking: no application monitoring, no calendar import, no idle detection, so entries are yours to record. It has no team timesheets or approvals, and no integration with an external accounting system.
Common questions
How is this different from Focus?
Focus is a deep-work practice with intentions, distraction counts and session quality. Time is a project log for hours and billing. Different questions: Focus asks how the work went, Time asks how long it took.
Does it create invoices?
No. It produces hours and billable totals per project and period. The invoice itself is elsewhere.
Does it track my time automatically?
No. There is no application or window monitoring. Use the stopwatch, or add entries afterwards — which is fully supported, because most people forget to start the timer.
