Field notes
The product stores its records in a SQLite database under ~/Documents/owntime/, allowing the file to be copied, backed up, or opened with another SQLite browser. Its workflow combines a menu-bar timer with manual hour entry, project-specific rates, billable flags, and PDF invoice generation. Importers for Harvest and Toggl reportedly preview changes before writing them, while repeated imports can create duplicates.
