Windows 10 and 11 · 64-bit
TriggerFlo for Windows is a native app: a Kanban board, an always-on-top floating timer that stays above Teams and your IDE, a system-tray icon and global hotkeys. One app instead of a tracker plus a project tool.
Windows 10 (64-bit) or later. Free up to 3 projects, no credit card.
The Microsoft Store build updates itself through Windows. The installer is a direct download for machines that cannot reach the Store. Same app either way.
Requires Windows 10 (64-bit) or later. Windows 11 supported.
Tray, hotkeys, autostart, and a window manager that understands always-on-top — the things a browser tab cannot do.

Always on top of Teams and VS Code
The floating timer is a real always-on-top window in four layouts. On a screen full of chat, IDE and browser, the clock is the one thing that never gets buried.
Minimizes to the system tray
Closing the window sends TriggerFlo to the tray instead of quitting. Start a timer from the tray menu without restoring the app.
Global hotkeys
Bind start and stop to a key combination and drive the timer from whatever window has focus.
Launch at startup
Optional autostart, so the tracker is already running when you sit down.
A board, not just a stopwatch
Drag tasks between columns; every card carries its estimate and the time actually spent on it. No second subscription for the project side.
Invoices from tracked hours
Pick a project, a client and a rate, and the line items come from the time you tracked. Export to PDF or CSV.
One app, not two
Most Windows time trackers stop at the stopwatch, and the work itself lives in a second subscription — Toggl Plan next to Toggl Track, Plaky next to Clockify. TriggerFlo puts the board in the same app, so a card shows what you estimated and what it really took without an integration in the middle.
Both are the same app. The Microsoft Store build updates itself through Windows and installs without any prompts; the .exe is a direct download for people who prefer to keep their installs off the Store, or who cannot reach it on a managed machine.
Windows 10 64-bit and later, which includes Windows 11. There is no 32-bit build.
The Microsoft Store version installs without admin rights. The .exe installer may prompt depending on where you install it and how your machine is managed.
TriggerFlo keeps a local SQLite database on your PC and syncs it to your account, so a dropped connection while a timer runs is not a problem. A full offline mode is in progress rather than finished, so a permanently disconnected machine is not the setup it is built for today.
It is not Electron. TriggerFlo is a Flutter app compiled to a native Windows binary, which is why it can sit in the tray all day with a timer running without behaving like a second browser.
All three have real Windows desktop apps, so the differences are elsewhere: TriggerFlo puts the Kanban board and the timer in one app rather than two products, and charges a flat price — Pro at $5.99 a month or $119 once — instead of a per-user-per-month seat fee.
