Detailed Review
DoneThat takes a different route from most of the tools on this page. Instead of timers or timesheets, the desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux watches screen and app activity and reconstructs the workday afterwards. That output becomes summaries, goals and AI coaching, which makes it closer to RescueTime or Rize than to Toggl or Clockodo.
The company behind it is Letss B.V. in Amsterdam. Its terms are governed by Dutch law and the primary database is in the EU. The desktop client is open source under GPL-3.0-or-later, so anyone can inspect what it sends. The backend is proprietary, and the vendor says users can bring their own LLM to keep raw activity off its servers.
The caveat is data flow. The privacy policy states that AI processing and authentication can use global infrastructure, including servers in the United States, with the subprocessor list on its trust portal. For teams that need strictly EU-only processing, that matters, and it is a step behind several European tools on this page. It is also less suited to billing clients by project than the invoicing-oriented tools above it.
What DoneThat does well
- No timers or manual entries, the day is rebuilt automatically
- Desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux
- Desktop client is open source (GPL-3.0-or-later)
- Bring-your-own-LLM option keeps raw activity off vendor servers
- 14-day free trial and a public trust portal
Where DoneThat falls short
- AI processing and sign-in can use providers outside the EU, including the US
- Backend is proprietary, only the desktop client is open source
- Per-plan prices are not shown in the page source, check the pricing page
- Less focused on client billing, project budgets and timesheet approval than most tools above it
Standout feature. One of the few trackers here that works without timers, with an open source desktop client you can inspect.
