A quiet tracker for the
present moment.
WAYDN began with a simple periodic question: “What am I doing now?”
Press Ctrl + Alt + N anytime to quickly capture what you are doing.Esc to return.
Not to monitor yourself harshly — but to notice where your life is actually going.
Time is not just something you spend.
It slowly becomes the shape of your attention, your effort, your work, your distractions, your unfinished ideas, your rest, and your life.
WAYDN helps you gently notice that.
No heavy dashboards. No corporate surveillance feeling. No productivity hustle culture.
Small by design.

WAYDN is for anyone who starts the day with good intentions, switches between five things, and later wonders where the day went.
Ask the question often enough, and your day becomes clearer.
Available now for Linux.
WAYDN 0.2.8 is available as a 55 MB Linux AppImage. macOS and Windows versions are planned for later.
First time using an AppImage?
You may want to keep AppImages in a dedicated folder such as:
~/ApplicationsThen make WAYDN executable and run it:
chmod +x WAYDN-0.2.8-x86_64.AppImage
./WAYDN-0.2.8-x86_64.AppImageOn first run, WAYDN quietly adds a desktop launcher to itself and can stay available from the system tray after login.
If you move the AppImage later, just run it once from the new location. WAYDN will update the launcher path.
