![CoreHour - Time Management Tool](/images/projects/corehour.png)

## Introduction

**CoreHour** helps you discover your peak productivity hours and build work habits that actually stick. Built for indie hackers, makers, and anyone who wants to make every hour count.

I created this project with [Carol Hsiao](https://carolhsiao.webflow.io/) as part of **Aburi Studio**'s financial independence toolkit. CoreHour bridges the gap between time and money - helping you understand which hours generate the most value.

## Demo & Source Code

CoreHour is live and ready to use:

- **Website:** [corehour.app](https://corehour.app)
- **Source Code:** Private (part of Aburi Studio products)

## Why We Built CoreHour

As indie makers building our own products, we struggled with a common problem: **not all hours are created equal**.

Some hours we're incredibly productive - shipping features, solving hard problems, making real progress. Other hours? We're just going through the motions.

Traditional time trackers tell you *how long* you worked. But they don't tell you:
- **When** you're most productive
- **What** work generates the most value
- **How** to align your time with your financial goals

That's why we built CoreHour - to help you work smarter, not just longer.

## Key Features

### Smart Time Tracking
Automatic detection of your most productive hours. CoreHour learns your patterns and helps you schedule deep work when you're at your best.

### Goal-Oriented Design
Align daily tasks with long-term objectives. See how today's work connects to your bigger vision.

### Cashflow Integration
Connect time to revenue for better project decisions. Understand which activities actually move the needle on your financial independence journey.

### Habit Building
Sustainable routines backed by your actual productivity data. Build habits based on evidence, not guesswork.

## The Philosophy Behind CoreHour

CoreHour is built on several key principles:

### Quality Over Quantity
It's not about working more hours - it's about making the hours you work count. We focus on productive output, not time logged.

### Energy Management
Your energy fluctuates throughout the day. CoreHour helps you identify when you're naturally most focused so you can schedule accordingly.

### Value-Based Time Tracking
Not all tasks are equal. CoreHour helps you identify high-value activities and eliminate time sinks.

### Sustainable Productivity
Burnout is real. CoreHour encourages sustainable work patterns that you can maintain long-term.

## How CoreHour Works

1. **Track Your Time:** Log what you're working on throughout the day
2. **Discover Patterns:** CoreHour analyzes when you're most productive
3. **Align With Goals:** Connect daily tasks to your long-term objectives
4. **Optimize Schedule:** Schedule deep work during your peak hours
5. **Track Value:** See which activities contribute most to your goals

## Part of the Aburi Studio Ecosystem

CoreHour is designed to work seamlessly with our other financial independence tools:

- **FireFree:** Calculate your path to financial independence
- **DailyPay:** Monitor daily spending and income
- **CoreHour:** Optimize how you spend your time to reach your goals faster

Together, these tools help you:
- Understand where your time goes
- See how time connects to income
- Optimize your path to financial freedom

## Technologies

We built CoreHour with a modern, focused tech stack:

- [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/): React framework for optimal performance
- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/): Type-safe development
- [Supabase](https://supabase.com/): Backend and database
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/): Beautiful, responsive UI
- [Recharts](https://recharts.org/): Data visualization
- [Vercel](https://vercel.com/): Deployment and hosting

## For Indie Makers and Solopreneurs

CoreHour is specifically designed for people building their own products and businesses:

- **Project-Based Tracking:** Organize time by project, not just task
- **Revenue Attribution:** See which projects generate income
- **Focus Sessions:** Built-in Pomodoro timer for deep work
- **Weekly Reviews:** Reflect on what worked and what didn't

## What Makes CoreHour Different

Unlike traditional time trackers:

- **Goal-Oriented:** Everything ties back to your long-term objectives
- **Energy-Aware:** Respects your natural productivity rhythms
- **Value-Focused:** Emphasizes output over input
- **Independence-Minded:** Built for people pursuing financial freedom

## 專案簡介

**CoreHour** 幫助你發現高峰生產力時段,建立真正持久的工作習慣。專為獨立開發者、創客、和想讓每小時都有價值的人打造。

我與 [Carol Hsiao](https://carolhsiao.webflow.io/) 共同創造了這個專案,作為 **Aburi Studio** 財務獨立工具套件的一部分。CoreHour 連接時間與金錢之間的橋樑——幫助你理解哪些時間創造最多價值。

## Demo & 網站

CoreHour 已上線並可使用:

- **網站:**[corehour.app](https://corehour.app)
- **原始碼:**私有(Aburi Studio 產品的一部分)

## 為什麼我們要打造 CoreHour

作為打造自己產品的獨立創客,我們遇到一個常見問題:**不是所有時間都具有相同價值**。

有些時段我們超級有生產力——推出功能、解決難題、取得真正進展。其他時段?我們只是在走過場。

傳統的時間追蹤工具告訴你工作了*多久*。但它們不會告訴你:
- **何時**最有生產力
- **什麼**工作創造最多價值
- **如何**讓時間與財務目標對齊

這就是為什麼我們打造 CoreHour——幫助你更聰明地工作,而不只是工作更久。

## 主打功能

### 智慧時間追蹤
自動偵測你最有生產力的時段。CoreHour 學習你的模式,幫助你在最佳狀態時安排深度工作。

### 目標導向設計
將日常任務與長期目標對齊。看見今天的工作如何連結到你的更大願景。

### 現金流整合
連結時間與收入,做出更好的專案決策。了解哪些活動真正推動你的財務獨立旅程。

### 習慣養成
基於實際生產力數據的可持續例行工作。根據證據而非猜測來建立習慣。

## CoreHour 背後的哲學

CoreHour 建立在幾個關鍵原則上:

### 質量重於數量
重點不是工作更多小時——而是讓你工作的時間發揮價值。我們專注於生產力產出,而非記錄的時間。

### 能量管理
你的能量在一天中會波動。CoreHour 幫助你識別自然最專注的時段,讓你相應安排工作。

### 價值導向的時間追蹤
不是所有任務都同等重要。CoreHour 幫助你識別高價值活動並消除時間黑洞。

### 可持續的生產力
倦怠是真實存在的。CoreHour 鼓勵可長期維持的可持續工作模式。

## CoreHour 如何運作

1. **追蹤時間:**記錄你一整天在做什麼
2. **發現模式:**CoreHour 分析你何時最有生產力
3. **對齊目標:**將日常任務連結到長期目標
4. **優化時程:**在高峰時段安排深度工作
5. **追蹤價值:**看見哪些活動對目標貢獻最多

## Aburi Studio 生態系的一部分

CoreHour 設計為與我們其他財務獨立工具無縫協作:

- **FireFree:**計算你的財務獨立之路
- **DailyPay:**監控每日支出和收入
- **CoreHour:**優化如何運用時間更快達成目標

這些工具一起幫助你:
- 了解時間去向
- 看見時間如何連結到收入
- 優化通往財務自由的路徑

## 技術架構

我們使用現代化、專注的技術堆疊打造 CoreHour:

- [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/):React 框架,實現最佳效能
- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/):型別安全的開發
- [Supabase](https://supabase.com/):後端和資料庫
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/):美觀、響應式的 UI
- [Recharts](https://recharts.org/):資料視覺化
- [Vercel](https://vercel.com/):部署和託管

## 為獨立創客和個人創業者設計

CoreHour 特別為打造自己產品和事業的人設計:

- **專案導向追蹤:**按專案而非僅任務組織時間
- **收入歸因:**看見哪些專案產生收入
- **專注時段:**內建番茄鐘計時器進行深度工作
- **每週回顧:**反思什麼有效、什麼無效

## CoreHour 的獨特之處

與傳統時間追蹤工具不同:

- **目標導向:**所有事情都連結回長期目標
- **能量感知:**尊重你的自然生產力節奏
- **價值聚焦:**強調產出而非投入
- **獨立思維:**為追求財務自由的人打造
