What is TaoTime?

TaoTime is a life tracking software. Its development took me over a year and I developed it so I could track every aspect of my life. I was curious if I could see any patterns in my life that I wasn't aware of, and I also needed a tool to track my dreams, my mood, my music, my habits, my daily journals and much more. Then I wanted to see if there are any correlations between the values I track. Basically, taotime is useful for optimizing your life and seeing hidden patterns.

One of the many features of taotime is a daily questionnaire - you can create a set of questions, that you can answer every day to retrospectivelly review how you spent your time. You can assign a Jungian archetype to each question and then track the most prominent archetypes in your life. This way you can really boost your productivity and mental well-being, because at the end of the day you consciously review it, the good and the bad. Sort of like checking an item off a todo-list that will give you a little dopamine kick. This will also help you to build any habits you want.

TaoTime also automatically analyzes your music, productivity, most often used dream symbols and their combinations, it lets you know if you had a dream a year ago that shared most of the symbolism with some new dream, it lets you specifiy your own dream symbols and much more. You can then use the manual correlator app to correlate all of the values you track and see any patterns between them. So for example on the days you eat a specific herb or food, you can discover that you are more productive. If you want to learn how to use the correlator, watch the video or visit correlator documentation.

Taotime also supports integration with many online API services, like rescue time for automatic productivity tracking, lastfm and spotify for music tracking, github for your programming activity, google fit for your meditation and steps tracking, Steam for number of games you play each day, a movie database to track the movies you watch and even the weather API to track the local weather. Learn how to connect TaoTime to these services in the configuration section.
