Hardly Working Corp. opens its doors to the public.
Track your breaks. See what they're worth.
Guaranteed privacy! No data tracked or sold.
NOW HIRING!
To all prospective employees,
Hardly Working Corp. is accepting new interns. The role requires no experience, no references, and no consent from your current employer.
At its core, this is a break timer. It also calculates — at your self-reported hourly rate — exactly what your non-productive time is worth. We call this process "reclamation." Other people call it other things. We have no further comment.
PRIVACY
Time entries stay on your device. Only anonymous aggregate totals (which cannot be traced to you) sync to our servers for benchmarking. Hardly Working Corp. does not share individual or collective employee data with anyone — especially not your other employer. Or HR. Or that guy from Compliance. We have made absolutely sure of that.
THE FINDINGS
The average knowledge worker is productive for approximately 2 hours and 53 minutes per day. The remaining 5.1 hours are spent in meetings that could have been emails, bathroom breaks that became scroll sessions, and a persistent low-grade performance of looking busy.
Hardly Working Corp. does not judge this. Hardly Working Corp. measures it.
Company employees reclaim an average of $4,200 per year at standard wages. Individual results vary by department.
WHAT THE APP DOES
— Tracks break time across 10 pre-approved activity codes (Coffee Run, Doom Scrolling, "Thinking," Into the Void, and others)
— Calculates the dollar value at your hourly rate
— Files daily, weekly, monthly, and career-long reclamation reports
— Benchmarks your performance against anonymous global data by industry and country
— Lets you form private Reclamation Units with coworkers — complete with leaderboards and QR code invites
— Issues commendations for distinguished underachievement (15 across 5 rarity tiers)
— Generates personalized share cards suitable for external distribution
WHAT THE APP IS NOT
Hardly Working Corp. is not a productivity tool. We will not make you work harder. There are plenty of apps for that, and you have ignored all of them.
We offer the measurement tool no productivity app has ever built: quantification of the hours you did not work, converted into dollars, delivered with irony.
