I could never stick with work tracking apps because logging my work eventually started feeling like work itself. I spend most of my day in the terminal, so I wanted something that could become part of that workflow instead of pulling me out of it. Crona grew from that frustration.

Create an issue with additional context assign it to your day, and start a focus session against it. Work normally, add a few notes as you go, then end the session and see it reflected in your daily timeline and momentum. That’s the core Crona loop.

Crona treats focused work sessions, rather than a task list, as the primary unit of work. Repositories and issues provide context, but the goal is to build a useful history of what you actually worked on. It’s also local-first and keyboard-driven, so the tracker stays out of the way and no data leaves your machine.

The immediate focus is polishing the core TUI and making work tracking feel increasingly effortless. I’m also building companion experiences around Crona, improving insights and reporting, and exploring optional sync while keeping the local-first experience intact.
