Focus that becomes
proof of work
Why Comma works daily Productivity that leaves
proof of work
Focus, track, summarize — then commit. A calm workflow for people who build and document.
Instant start, zero friction
Open the app and begin a deep-focus block in seconds. Stored locally by default.
Drift-proof focus timer
Target-time engine survives refreshes and sleeps. Focus, Short Break, Long Break.
Tasks in the session
Capture tasks while working. Mark done in real time. Keep momentum visible.
Markdown logs, always clean
End the block with a structured worklog. Templates adapt to your vault conventions.
Optional GitHub sync
Enable GitHub sync later when you want versioned visibility. Privacy by default.
Daily + weekly summaries
Track total focus time and completed sessions from your real history.
Obsidian-ready by design
Drop logs into Daily Notes or project folders. YAML frontmatter supported.
Calm UX, many themes
Dark-first, minimal noise. Sound + notifications when you want them.
Standard timers
- ❌Work ends, context disappears
- ❌No proof of what was done
- ❌Manual logging later (never happens)
- ❌Tab refresh breaks flow
Comma workflow
- ✅Automatic Markdown documentation
- ✅Git history as proof of work
- ✅In-context tasks + notes
- ✅Resilient timer (tab-proof)
Built for people who ship and document
Comma is for knowledge-work workflows — where your output needs to be searchable, structured, and real.
Auto-create a clean log that lands in your daily note structure, with the exact frontmatter you use.
Each session becomes a traceable work artifact: what was done, what changed, what’s next.
Use Git as a transparent timeline for non-code work: research, planning, writing, QA.
Git-native worklog
for Obsidian users
Keep your vault in Git. Commit logs that match your structure. Build a transparent record of progress — week after week.
This is what “proof” feels like
Comma isn’t for everyone. It’s for builders who want history, not hype.
Questions, answered
If you’re a builder, you’ll feel at home.
No. The timer is only the trigger. Comma combines focused work sessions, in-session task tracking, automatic Markdown logs, and Git synchronization. Each focus block produces a concrete artifact — a structured worklog you can keep, search, and version.
Most productivity tools help you focus, but forget everything once the timer ends. Comma solves the missing link between focus and documentation. It turns work sessions into persistent Markdown notes, so your effort accumulates instead of disappearing.
Yes. Comma uses fully customizable Markdown templates. You control headers, task formatting, frontmatter, file names, and folder paths — so logs fit perfectly into your Obsidian vault, documentation system, or personal workflow.
Obsidian is a core use case. Logs are plain Markdown files and can be generated directly into any vault structure you prefer — daily notes, project folders, or custom layouts.
GitHub is optional. Comma works great on its own for focused sessions and Markdown logs, while Git sync adds version history and collaboration when you need it.
Only the generated Markdown log: session metadata, tasks, and notes. GitHub sync is optional and can be enabled when you are ready.
In guest mode, your data is stored only in this browser (localStorage), not on our server. If you clear browser data, switch devices, or reinstall the browser, you can lose it. Signed-in mode is safer for long-term retention and sync.
No. Timer state, tasks, and session notes persist. The timer is calculated using a target end-time, so it remains accurate even if the tab sleeps or the browser reloads.
Yes. Tasks are designed to be added and completed during the session. Comma encourages capturing context while you work, not after.
Both. Many people use it as a personal focus and knowledge tool. Teams can use it to build transparent worklogs and shared documentation through Git repositories.
Yes. Comma only accesses what you explicitly configure. Authentication is handled via GitHub OAuth, and logs are generated and pushed only to repositories you choose.
Comma is built for developers, writers, designers, and knowledge workers — anyone who values focus, clarity, and a growing body of documented work.
Turn focus into committed progress
Make your work honest, structured, and searchable — in Markdown, synced to Git.
