Within a certain limit, it is effective. However, modern SSDs use certain technologies to extend its lifetime, which has the side effect of ensuring that shredding is never perfect, and no software can fix that.

Time Tracker is a simple time-tracker program for GNOME. Instead of using online-first options, use a lightning-fast local-first option that is still able to sync with multiple computers via cloud or network storage.
Time Tracker allows you to track different projects, see how much time you’ve spent on each project, and sync with a local file or a file in your own cloud storage. You can also open your sync file in spreadsheet software (since it’s a CSV file).
