ChronoRack
ChronoRack is an SCJG product. It's in daily use at SCJG HQ and opens to the public soon.
Your time is the product.
Run it like a studio.
ChronoRack is an hours logger, task deck and field recorder built like pro rack gear. Start a session, work, commit. Hours land in your timesheet, captures land in the right project, and the rack keeps score.
Look lab
Real screenshots of the current build with demo data. Skins change the hardware finish; displays change the glass (dark, light, and two high-contrast modes for bright sun and low vision). Early design. The finished app may look different.
Pick a skin and a display. Desktop and phone change together. Tap either one to zoom in.
How it works
The core loop. Everything else in the rack hangs off these three presses.
- 01 · Patch in
Tap a task or press IN. The session clock starts and everything you capture is stamped to it.
- 02 · Track
Hours, notes, voice memos and files ride along with the session. FOCUS runs a timed deep-work block.
- 03 · Commit
One press writes the entry to your timesheet. Your streak, level and week graph update on the spot.

Built different
Four reasons people who bill by the hour switch.
- Backcountry
Works with no signal. Keep logging. Entries wait on the device and send exactly once when you're back online.
- Ownership
Your data stays yours. Hours live in your own Google Sheet. Cancel any time and everything you logged is still there.
- Game
Rewards finishing, not grinding. Closing tasks earns more than piling on hours. Past 8 hours the rack starts limiting your score.
- Feel
Looks like gear, feels like gear. Real VU ballistics, lit keys, inset displays. High-contrast modes for direct sun.
