explicit name

[1000i100]

"Track" is short, it's easy to speak and probably to remember, but it's not significant enough to be found with and online search.
What's your specificity over other open-source time tracker ? automatic tracking.
so the name should contain "auto" or "automatic"

• auto-time-track
• auto-time-tracker
• auto-time-tracker-daemon (if you split the tracking feature in a standalone module and the UI in an other)
• time-tracker-daemon
• automatic-time-and-use-tracker (a bit too long)
• your-personal-big-brother
• my-big-brother
• the-all-seeing-eyes
• auto-time-reporter
• automatic-usage-tracker
• auto-usage-time-tracker (probably the best keyword stuffing name for SEO with the 2 first ones)
• auto-usage-time-reporter

Hi GammaNu, thanks for your feedback. You're right, 'track' is currently hard to search for and probably I'll reconsider the name. By now I didn't find a short and easy to remember name yet and I think it has to be short..
How did you find track?

[1000i100]

I find it via stackoverflow, after some hours looking for automated time tracking, open source, self hosted.

Suggestions:
Trackmatic
Clockmatic
Timematic
TimeAddict (play on sound of Timematic)

Am considering trying this out and came across the topic, thought I might offer some alts of the top of my head.

(looking for alternatives to Chrometa btw, after they lost 2 weeks of my data and handled the event rather ummm, poorly to be kind)

Also as someone coming from stackoverflow: I agree that track is hard to find by its name.
The only short and witty thing I can come up with at the moment would be something like TitleTrack (or any variation of that)

In the end it describes what it does: tracking the titles of windows and assigning times to that.
I guess if you'd search for "Title Track application", or anything similar, it could be unambiguous enough to show up. On the other hand it is still not very unique.
