About the startup

Closed Rings is a time tracker built for the terminal. Start a "ring" when you begin a task. Close it when you ship. The CLI quietly captures context switches, focus blocks, and project metadata in the background, so at the end of the week, you get a standup-ready summary, a focus report showing where your attention actually went, and an invoice-ready export grouped by client and project. No GUI. No flow-breaking notifications. Built for freelance developers, contractors, and any team member tired of reconstructing their week on Sunday night. 14-day free trial. No credit card. * CLI: Terminal-first time tracking and reporting * MCP: Integrate with your AI agent * API: Integrate with your own tools
