ZEI° — Revolutionary time tracking device
Time is all we got, we should balance it correctly! ZEI° is a tiny time tracking device that will ease your life and get out your most productive side in no time! All you need to do is to choose your 8 activities, set the app and start flipping the ZEI° to its sides. Based on what you are doing, it will count your time per activity!

This kind of thing is exactly what I've been looking for. I love that this is the only thing that this product does. The pain point on the phone is that I have to open an app or switch to it when I want to switch tasks. Excited to see it once it launches.

@ashwn Thanks Ashwin, that's exactly what we experienced so far. There are many awesome mobile apps out there, well designed and with great UX, still opening the app and switching is sometimes a pain point. We're excited as well :)
Pretty skeptical of most time tracking ideas. This one looks pretty nice -- the physicality of it, the size, the way it will sit on your desk. I really think this looks like a winner.
@leozakour thanks for the interest and sorry for the late reply. The pre-orders start on the beginning of September.
I love the concept and simplicity of the design. Does this give you reminders when you pass a certain time threshold? If so, I could see teams using this to run sprints and keep track of time spent on each tasks.
@jonathanzwhite thanks Jonathan! When you think about reminders do you mean vibration, sound, etc. or a notification on the phone/computer/email?
May be next version can have a screen (e-ink) on all surface to show the time right there. And may be the lap timing as well.
@rohit11 Hey Rohit, thanks for the suggestions! e-ink is on our roadmap as well. What do you mean by lap timing?
@ttrauser Task 1 - session 1 - 10:04 minutes. Same Task - session 2 (doing again after a gap) shows last time you spent 10:04, now counting.... and total at the end of day
Hope you got that
This looks cool. But I still has the same issue with every other time tracking service in the universe - you need to actively stop/start the tracking. The only real revolution in time tracking will be when your device (whether it's a computer or a laptop or a wearable) will know automatically when and what to track. Accurate Time Tracking AI. ATTAI?
@danr_4 We believe that would not only be revolutionary,but it would be the end :) the end of manual time tracking and everyone is happy. ATTAI = $$$.
What we experienced so far during interviews is that people are afraid of automatic time tracking as then they would feel kind a pressure to be productive 100% of the time even if it's not possible...
Such a smart idea! When I was a freelancer I could have used something like this, and the price is right.
@ttrauser take a look at iOS sign up pop up. Typed in email but went in invisible. Maybe me. But worth a look.
Hey guys, I'm one of the founders behind ZEI°. We believe that hardware can finally make time tracking effortless and instant. But we don't want to create just one more time tracking solution as there are already many out there - therefore we integrate it into existing solutions like @toggl @harvest @timeneye @wunderlist @trello etc...
I'm happy to answer your questions!
Cheers,

Yep, I want it. Was thinking about using an Arduino to build something myself but this looks great.
@jtown_ thanks Justin! You still can go on building something with Arduino - maybe you come up with a better idea/solution? ;)
Any chance of a public api? We use our own bespoke time tracker but would love to use this!
@jozefmaxted hey Jozef, right now we don't have plans for that but soon or later we will add that as well. But what we offer from the first day is a CSV export. Maybe you can use that?
Hello,
Very cool product!
This has inspired the following ideas from me:

I hope this was beneficial for you to read!
Thanks,
Jaswinder Brar.
@jay_bee12345 thank you Jaswinder very much, you're awesome!! There are some use cases that we didn't think about.
@jay_bee12345 @rohit11 I like the bonus - that goes along with ours :) thanks!
