Looking for an alternative to Toggl Track for tracking hours worked per client. Solo, so don't need team features. Just a daily/weekly breakdown of hours per project. Very strong preference for Raycast integration.

Pretty much perfect day - walked through the autumn leaves at the Birks of Aberfeldy, read the Burns poem out loud, over to Loch Tay to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and lob rocks into the water.

Drove up for a wander around Dunkeld this afternoon. Walked around the cathedral, threw stones in the river, found a playpark.

Bedtime is when I have the best conversations with my wee guy. We make stuff up together, play with words, talk about our day. He is the one being generative. I'm not against using AI as a tool, but it would be sad to outsource that part of the day.
Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.
"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?
Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity
