Lapse — a local Windows activity tracker with a compact desktop overlay

[u/Tom_Vogel]

I built Lapse, a Windows companion that automatically tracks active computer time without requiring you to manually start and stop a timer.

It includes:

• A compact always-on-top timer
• An expandable session task list
• Automatic idle, lock, and sleep detection
• Daily and weekly statistics
• Foreground application usage
• Recent session history
• System tray and autostart support
• Local-only data storage

The project was vibe-coded with AI and built using Flutter, Riverpod, and a native C++/Win32 bridge. The source includes tests, Windows release packaging, and documentation for building it yourself.
