Timeslip: automatic time tracking for Mac
Small ideas, still worth doing well.
yangbyte turns real needs into focused products and keeps improving them after release. The featured product is Timeslip, a Mac menu bar app that records which client and project your time went to, then exports a timesheet or an invoice PDF you can send straight to the client.

Small products, taken seriously
Start with a real need
Each product starts with a problem I meet often enough to solve properly — not with a feature checklist.
Keep the product focused
The goal is less friction, not more settings. New capabilities earn their place without making the original job harder.
Maintain what ships
Release is the start, not the finish. Shipped products keep getting rough edges fixed and their experience improved.
Who is behind this
yangbyte is maintained by one independent developer. Timeslip is the featured product today; Gridly and future projects follow the same rule — only ideas worth turning into something real.
Timeslip exists because timers fail the moment you forget to press start, and cloud time trackers ask you to upload client names to someone else's server. So the clock lives in the menu bar, records automatically, and the database never leaves this Mac.
