Launch: Focus Beam– Lightweight Project and Timesheet Manager in WinForms (.NET)

1 pyeri 0 6/11/2025, 1:13:46 PM

I’ve released an open-source WinForms (.NET Framework) desktop app called *Focus Beam*, aimed at helping individual developers or freelancers manage projects and log work hours with minimal overhead.

*Key features:*

* Dashboard with daily timesheet view * Task and project creation/editing * Tracks total hours worked per project * Settings and About screens * Handles task edit/cancel edge cases cleanly

Written in WinForms for simplicity and broad compatibility. This is a beta release — feedback, testing, and contributions are welcome.

*GitHub release link:*
