TrackLab 0.6.0 has been released, bringing the feature I’ve been planning the longest: Rules. It’s hard to reach your goals without a structure your routine is based on. Now you can create rules in TrackLab and track how consistently you follow them.

After a five-month pause in TrackLab development, I want to explain what happened — and what changed.
TrackLab version 0.4.2 was released on November 3rd; the next version, 0.5.0, only on April 5th.

Before I started developing my tracking app, I asked myself one simple question: “Why should anyone track their time?” Without a clear answer, any further development would be pointless. Here’s what I found.
Self-development
I’m interested in the field of self-development because I always struggle with it. I procrastinate a lot. Sometimes I can get over it, but eventually, I return to my old behavior.
