A tracker for you. Not your timesheet.
Nearly every time tracker ever built answers to someone else. Hours are logged so a client can be billed, a manager reassured, a payroll run closed. The person doing the living is the last one the record serves.
flyback started from the opposite question: what would a time tracker look like if it existed only for you? Not to prove productivity to anyone — but to give you back an honest picture of your own days. Where the deep work actually happened. How long the walk really was. What the evening quietly dissolved into.
The answer came from an unlikely place: the wrist of a 1930s pilot. The flyback chronograph was invented for people who needed to time life as it happened — leg after leg of a flight, with no seconds lost to fumbling. One press, and the hand flies back and keeps running. We took that idea and built a whole philosophy of tracking around it: your day recorded as one continuous sweep, not a scatter of billable fragments.
Because time is the one resource you can't buy more of, borrow, or earn back. Awareness of where it goes isn't productivity theatre — it's the closest thing to owning your life. Work sits next to health, the dog, the kitchen, the people you love. All of it counts, because all of it is your time.
"This isn't a tracker to satisfy your employer or your client. It's an instrument for people who want to see their own time clearly."
