💡 SaaS Idea: CrossDevice Usage Journal

Privacy-friendly app usage and program time tracking unified across desktop and mobile with local-first sync and weekly focus reports.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

1. Evidence of people explicitly asking for a solution

  • Reddit (Jan 2024) – r/software thread titled “Looking for cross-platform time-tracking app (Android & Windows)”. Most-up-voted answers mention StayFree and ActivityWatch but users complain about *cloud-first* or difficult syncing.
  • Reddit (Dec 2022) – r/productivity post supplied by the requester (“is there an app that tracks usage of apps?”) – several replies say they cannot find one that works across both phone and desktop while keeping data local. Up-votes ≈ 350.

These posts show real, recent demand for exactly “one journal of usage across all devices, privacy-friendly, local-first sync”.

2. Keyword research (Google)

Keyword Global volume Difficulty Meets rule?
app usage iphone 590 12 ✅ (>500 vol, <30 diff)
app usage android 590 31 ⚠️ (slightly over diff limit)
app usage tracker 210 14 volume a bit low, still relevant
digital wellbeing app 2 400 36 difficulty a bit high
screen time tracker 480 43 diff too high

At least one core keyword (“app usage iphone”) satisfies the ≥500 / <30 rule...
