Furtherance is a time tracking app, with a native interface on Gnome, Windows, and Mac. It allows you to track time spent on different activities without worrying about your data being captured and sold.
UPDATE: Furtherance is underging a complete rewrite using Iced. It will be better in many ways and contain more features, but most importantly there will be a single, cross-platform version, so updates will be far more frequent and everyone will have the same features, regardless of OS. You can read more about the change here and view the current progress in the iced branch.
- Tasks are saved in a database with an unlimited capacity. It can be backed up for security and portability.
- Tasks are grouped by name and date.
- Tasks can be edited after they are created (name, time, and date).
- Settings to customize the view and defaults to your liking.
- Features can be added! Just open an issue.

The easiest way to build Furtherance is with GNOME Builder.
To build Furtherance on your own, make sure you have all the dependencies: rust, cargo, meson, ninja-build, sqlite3, dbus-1, glib-2.0, gtk4, libadwaita-1
Then do:
git clone https://github.com/lakoliu/Furtherance.git
cd Furtherance
mkdir build
cd build
meson ..
ninja
sudo ninja install
To uninstall, run sudo ninja uninstall
in the same directory.
Type in the name of the task you are working on, add some #tags, and press start. That's really all there is to it.
If you speak another language, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help translate Furtherance to make it available to more people! You can get started easily using Weblate.
Besides helping to pay the bills, tips make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. If you've gotten value from Furtherance, you can tip me via:
