Void stays visible
Deleted screenshots still leave an honest visual mark on the heatmap without polluting metrics.
Target-driven streaks

Questions people ask before they trust gridl.
What is gridl?
gridl is a free work diary for people serious about their work life. It turns your tracked sessions into a clear daily log, weekly and monthly reports, and an honest picture of how your time mapped to your output — without team features or gamification.
Is gridl free?
Yes. gridl is completely free for personal accounts.
How are screenshots handled?
gridl captures screenshots on a random schedule as evidence markers. You can delete any screenshot within 30 seconds of capture. After that it locks. The result is a diary you can actually trust.
What is Flow State in gridl?
If you work for 45 minutes straight without stopping, gridl quietly marks that session as a Flow State. It shows up later in your weekly report. No notification interrupts you while you are in it.
How does gridl compare to Toggl or Clockify?
Toggl and Clockify are built for billing. gridl is built for self-accountability. You get a private work diary and honest reports measured against goals you define — not a timer your clients see.
Which days count toward my streak?
You define your own work week in Settings. Your streak only counts the days you declared you would work. Miss a day off and nothing breaks. Miss a day you promised yourself — that is when the streak resets.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your sessions and diary are visible only to you. Your screenshots are secured and automatically kept private. No team, no manager, no one else can ever see your data.
What do the weekly reports include?
Weekly reports show total hours worked, your daily average, how this week compared to last, which Work Space you spent the most time in, and how many Flow State sessions you logged.
