Hamster is a GNOME desktop time tracking application for individuals, letting users log how much time they spend on chosen activities throughout the day. It is a standalone Python/GTK app distributed via distro packages, Snap, and Flatpak.
Use cases
- track how I spend my work hours each day
- log time spent on projects and activities
- see daily and weekly time reports
- personal time tracker for Linux desktop
- keep a record of billable hours
When to choose
- you use a Linux/GNOME desktop and want a local, personal time tracker
- you prefer an offline desktop app with a stable database format
- you want easy installation via Flatpak, Snap, or distro packages
When to avoid
- you need team or cloud-synced time tracking
- you want a cross-platform tracker for Windows or macOS
- you need the newer hamster-lib rewrite features rather than the legacy app
