The Logtime 42 is the Stoic philosopher of productivity gadgets. It doesn't ask what you did . It asks what you promised . And it refuses to let you forget.

The philosophy is radical: You don't log time after you work. You commit time before you start. Machined from recycled aluminum and Gorilla Glass, the Logtime 42 feels expensive. Not "luxury watch" expensive, but "German kitchen knife" expensive. It has a satisfying heft (98g).

The signature feature is the — a knurled, clickless rotary encoder on the right side. The left side houses a single physical button: The Pledge .
