The Story Behind

From the creator: Birju Vachhani

As a dedicated Toggl Track user, I found myself needing a solution to better manage my working hours and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

"I love Toggl Track and I use it daily to track my working hours and generate time sheets at the end of the month. It provides almost all the things I need from a time tracking app except one thing..."

The Challenge

Working on hourly-billed projects with monthly caps presented a unique challenge. While Toggl Track excelled at tracking time, it lacked the ability to:

  • Account for monthly hour limits
  • Consider personal working days and holidays
  • Calculate daily targets based on remaining hours

Real-World Complexity

The reality of work isn't always predictable. Some days demand longer hours, while others are lighter. Without proper tracking, it's easy to:

  • Lose track of daily targets
  • Overwork when deadlines are flexible
  • Struggle to maintain work-life balance

The Solution

Target Mate was born from this need - a companion app that works alongside Toggl Track to:

  • Automatically calculate daily targets
  • Account for flexible schedules
  • Provide real-time progress updates
  • Help maintain healthy work boundaries

The app has one primary goal: eliminate the tedious manual calculations and provide clear visibility into daily and monthly targets. It does this job perfectly, helping users maintain a healthy work-life balance while staying within project constraints.
