Obsomnia

Hierarchical time tracking

Turn every ambition into a tree you can see

Obsomnia breaks big goals down into nested tasks, times the work on every branch, and shows you the whole shape of your effort.

What makes it different

Most apps make you choose between a task tree and a time tracker. Obsomnia is both, at every level.

Break any goal down

Nest tasks inside tasks inside goals, as deep as the work actually goes. Obsomnia never forces your ambitions into a flat to-do list.

A clock on every branch

Start a stopwatch on any node in the tree. Time rolls up automatically, so minutes and a goal's total hours are both always in view.

Built for the keyboard

Create, move, archive and jump between goals without touching the mouse. Shortcuts heavily inspired by the VIM editor.

See the shape of your effort

A radial background dendrogram renders your whole tree as a living chart, decorative, random until you have enough nodes.

Make it yours

Light or dark, your accent color, your font. Obsomnia adapts to how you like to look at your own work, not the other way around.

Privacy by default

No ads, no third-party trackers. Export your data or delete your account permanently, any time you want.

How it works

01

Plant a goal

Start with one aim — a project, a skill, a year. It becomes the root of its own tree.

02

Grow the tree

Break it into sub-goals and tasks, nested as many levels deep as the work needs.

03

Track as you go

Start the clock on whichever branch you touch. Structure and time accumulate together.

Built for people who think in trees

If your work is nested, your tracker should be too.

Freelancers & consultants

Log time at the task level across nested clients and projects, not just one flat timer per invoice.

Builders & makers

Give a book, a course or a side business the structure it needs to survive months of scattered sessions.

Students & researchers

Turn a thesis or a degree into a hierarchy of chapters, subtopics and study sessions you can actually see.

Anyone who thinks in trees

For people who've outgrown flat to-do lists and flat time trackers alike, and need a tool that helps with rapid context switching.
