“started using it, seemed good, but now it says I've been logged out and it says it doesn't recognise my email when I try and log back in. I still have clients left to bill and I can't access those records! Also, no ability to pause and restart a project seems like they've missed a trick.”

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Freelancers and service providers tracking billable hours need reliable session persistence to avoid losing access to historical records during disconnects. No search volume data suggests this is a known pain point but not yet a major search-driven market.
Competition & the opening
Time tracking apps like Toggl, Harvest, and Clockify dominate this space with solid authentication. The gap is specifically around session recovery and data resilience when login credentials fail or sessions expire unexpectedly.
What's hard to build
Building bulletproof session management and offline-first data sync is harder than it looks. You need robust recovery mechanisms, encrypted local storage, conflict resolution when sessions reconnect, and audit trails for billing disputes—all without losing a single record.
Why now
Time-tracking tools fail on session persistence and pause functionality, causing real financial loss for freelancers.
