How to use

Important: The tracker needs to run via a local server (not opened directly as a file) so your data saves correctly between sessions.

Windows

1. Download work-log.html, launch.bat, and start-server.ps1 into the same folder
2. Double-click launch.bat
3. The tracker opens automatically in your browser

Linux / Mac

1. Download work-log.html and launch.sh into the same folder
2. Open a terminal in that folder and run:

   bash launch.sh
   

3. The tracker opens automatically in your browser

Your data is stored locally in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
