MCP server lets Claude query your life data—demo mode with 4,251 entries means instant try-before-commit.

Strengths

•Built-in MCP server transforms time tracking into queryable data for AI assistants.
•Demo mode with fictional programmer data lets you test without entering your own entries.
•Single binary with zero dependencies and zero-knowledge encryption for all platforms.

Weaknesses

•Time tracking itself is a solved category—Toggl, Clockify, and others dominate.
•MCP adoption is still early—limited to Claude Code users for now.

Post Description

I generated 2 years of a programmer's life — every hour tracked. His job at a big tech company, a side project that takes off, gym sessions, dinners with his wife, kids, the moment he quits his job to go indie. 4,251 entries. The CLI is a single binary (no dependencies) that includes a TUI time tracker and a built-in MCP server. Run rows mcp install --demo and you can start asking Claude about this guy's life in 5 minutes.

Try things like:

"When did he quit his job?" "Show me all dinners with his wife" "How much time did he spend on his side project last month?" "Show me a bar chart of gym sessions per month"

It's actually a time tracker I built for myself — I've been logging every hour of my life in spreadsheets since 2014 (44,000+ entries). The demo data is there so you can try it without entering your own data first.
