UI could do with quite a bit of extra work, it's also not clear on the pricing table if you're talking about 1 time fees, monthly or yearly.<p>What happens if the Sumo package get's too small for me?<p>-- EDIT -- Besides that good work, don't take my comment negatively :)

I find this a very interesting product category - and I'm part of a very (I feel) undeserved category of consultant/freelancers. The essence of what you seem to be doing "uber simple" (the the home page states), is what had me interested.<p>But, after seeing your video, and the number of times a user has to click on different elements - it's clear this is not a simple logging tool. I also think the video could be (a) called out above the fold and (b) include some sort of voice over.<p>I feel there is a market ready and waiting for those that work on more abstract sorts of things. Situations where work might form more organically from a blog post on <a href="http://blogging.cwl.cc" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.cwl.cc</a> (it's happened) or a small idea (more frequent), and eventually turns into billing or a larger scale project. With tools like these that are project-based - It feels like logging friction is much to high.<p>The problem is not being solved (in my opinion) because generally no one wants to log what they do, but for those that have decided to do so, there should be little to no clicking and a process to capture everything written in very low overhead manner (mobile support is essential).<p>So far, no tool seems to be as good as a simple OTA sync'ed calendar. So far.

This looks like a pretty cool project. I would love to try it out once your servers cool down, particularly your API. I'm playing around with APIs for Harvest and Freshbooks now. Full disclosure: I created a minimalist time tracking tool for freelancers/agency folks that lowers the barrier to logging your work:<p><a href="https://timestreamapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://timestreamapp.com/</a><p>It's not for everyone, but it resonates with some folks (the minimalist UI + keyboard driven nature and available CLI).

I'm a freelancer and I didn't get a good sense of why I would use your product. Why is analyzing how I spend my time and looking at graphs going to make me more effective? Isn't the goal to spend more time working on projects and less time managing my tools?<p>I think for many freelancers the question is going to be: why would I stop using Harvest to use your tool? For me, I didn't see the reason.<p>Not saying you don't have a good product here - just think the marketing message could be clearer.

Huge thanks so far to everyone who has commented. It's really early days and its clear we need to work on the mobile support, pricing plans and most importantly the marketing aspects of the product and website. Really appreciate the feedback.

This might help explain it a bit more to get people started, it's on the homepage but can't help to link it: <a href="http://vimeo.com/ggapps/loggable-getstarted" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/ggapps/loggable-getstarted</a>

Pricing page portion for the Free/Solo package is a bit confusing. "30 Day Free Trial" for a package that is free? Perhaps you could replace it with "Always Free", or "100% Free"

Something really basic, but it wouldn't hurt to say that the prices are (I assume) monthly.<p>Also, having to start writing a project's name to find it is not very efficient.

Worth taking a quick look at the site on a mobile - the homepage is a little messed up... (Android/Chrome)<p>Good work though! :-)

Terrible presentation on that page imho, the video needs to be replaced by a quick blurb explaining the service.
