story behind trak.
Trak started from a point where I felt unfocused.
I was jumping between technologies, frameworks, and ideas. I had studied computer science, but I still didn't feel like I had gotten what I wanted from it — I hadn't gone deep into anything yet.
So I made a decision: I would focus on one language - Swift.
I also wanted a way to track how much time I was actually spending in focused study. I imagined being able to say:
"I've spent 345 hours learning Swift, and this is what I built."
That idea became Trak.
At first, it was just a simple tool to log study sessions. But while building trakCLI (repo link), something changed. It became personal.
Because building Trak itself became proof:
- that I could stay consistent
- that I could finish what I started
- that I could build something from my own ideas
Trak didn't just track my consistency. It helped create it.
Now I'm building Trak for iOS. I don't fully know where it will lead yet — but that's part of the story.
Trak started as a tool to track time. It became a project that tracks growth.
