Cukup · Indonesian for “enough”
AI can do more.
You still decide what is enough.
AI can produce more work than ever. People still choose what matters, review the results, and own the consequences. Our attention has limits. Cukup is a small, honest prompt to pause before we take on more.

A short narrated video tells the same story as this page. Every spoken line is also on screen. The data is synthetic, and the illustrations show ideas, not Cukup features.
The concern
Why can AI-assisted work still feel exhausting?
An agent can write code in minutes. Each result still asks something of a person. Is this the right problem? Is the change correct? Is it safe to ship? Who answers for it later?
Those questions do not go away when output gets faster. They arrive faster. More work to generate can also mean more work to read, check, and decide.
Human attention and energy have limits. When we reach them, it is easy to believe the answer is to push harder. Often it is not.
A human response
What helps when there is always more?
Delegate on purpose. Give an agent the work it does well, and keep the judgment that must stay yours: what matters, what is good enough, and what to refuse.
Care for your limits, too. Self-compassion is a plain idea with three parts:
Notice
See what is happening now, without judging it. “I am tired, and there is a lot to review.” This is mindfulness.
Remember others
Struggle is not a private failure. Many people feel this pressure. This is common humanity.
Be kind
Talk to yourself as you would talk to a friend. Rest is not a reward you must earn. This is self-kindness.
This is not therapy, and it does not promise a result. It is a way to meet a hard day honestly.
Why Cukup exists
Tools that help us do more need a partner that helps us pause.
Cukup (say “CHOO-koop”) means “enough” in Indonesian. The name is the point.
Cukup shows an estimate of Working Time next to a daily or weekly target. When that number passes the target, it is a chance to ask: is this enough for today? Cukup does not answer for you. Only you know what enough means in your life.
Cukup is one practical prompt, not a solution to review overload. It does not make choices, rank your work, or tell you how to feel.
What Cukup shows
What is Working Time, and what can it not tell you?
Today, Cukup reads turns in Amp, an AI coding agent. A turn starts when the agent begins to work on a message. It ends when the agent finishes. Cukup counts each turn plus a 15-minute grace period after it. Overlapping turns across sessions and machines count once. If a turn never reports an end, Cukup counts only its first 15 minutes.
What Working Time cannot tell you
- It is an estimate from agent turns. It is not measured attention.
- It says nothing about the quality or value of the work.
- It is not a productivity score, a burnout signal, or a measure of your worth.
- A turn can start from an automatic continuation, not a person.
- Reading, planning, and thinking away from Amp are not seen.
- Missing data does not mean zero work.
What is recorded
- Turn start and end times.
- Generated identifiers for each turn and installation.
- Event identifiers and sequence numbers, used to drop duplicates.
- A normalized label from the Amp project name, if Amp provides one.
- The registered name of the machine.
What is not recorded
- Prompts, agent replies, or source code.
- File paths, Git remotes, or repository contents.
The service accepts only the defined event fields. An Amp project name can match a repository name.
Status
What is available now?
- This website
- A personal dashboard for one owner. There is no public signup and no waitlist.
- Supported tools
- Amp only. Other AI agents are not supported.
- Open source
- A release is in preparation, starting with Amp support. The source code is not public yet, and there are no self-hosting instructions yet. There is no release date.
Why open source?
A tool that estimates your time should be open to inspection. You should be able to read its rules, change them to fit your life, and host your own copy with your own data. Open source makes that possible. It does not make a dashboard enough on its own.
What can you do now?
- Ask yourself one question before you start the next task: is this enough for today?
- Before you delegate, decide which judgment stays with you.
- When the work gets heavy, notice it, remember that you are not alone, and be kind to yourself.
