Track your time without remembering to.

It asks what you're doing every fifteen minutes. One tap logs the time that already passed.

For Mac · £35 once, not every year · Never reads your screen

How it works

Nine o'clock. You start something.

No timer to press. Nothing to set up.

Fifteen minutes go by.

This is the part every other tracker loses.

It asks.

In the menu bar, out of the way. One key dismisses it.

One tap fills in the quarter you just spent.

Answering at 09:15 records 09:00 to 09:15. Backwards, not forwards.

The rest of the day goes the same way.

Four taps an hour, and the gaps stay gaps — lunch is not quietly filled in for you.

By five, you have the day.

No timer was ever started, and nothing was reconstructed from memory.

It asks. It never watches.

The usual cure for forgetting is surveillance — the app reads your screen, your documents and the sites you visit. This one has no idea what is on your screen. Everything it knows, you told it in one tap.

Works entirely offline

No account, no sync, no server. Pull the network cable and nothing changes.

Your data is a file you own

Readable, exportable and yours to back up, whatever happens to the app or the licence.

Anything can be corrected

Change a start time, add a session, split a block, undo a delete. An honest record is one you're allowed to fix.

You planned the week. This is what happened.

Write down what you mean to do. The app keeps the other half itself.

Nothing is scored and there is no streak to keep. It puts the two columns side by side and stops there. What to make of the difference is yours.

Riverside planned 12h · actual 6h 30m −5h 30m
Keep admin down planned 3h · actual 6h 30m +3h 30m
Finish the Q3 tender no target · not tracked separately

It says so rather than showing a zero somebody would read as a failure.

A coach asked me to track my time.

I didn't, properly. I'd remember on the Tuesday, forget by the Thursday, and turn up having reconstructed the fortnight in the car.

Which wasted half the session, mine and hers. Every tracker I tried either needed me to remember, or wanted to read my screen to find out.

So this one asks instead. It's the tool I wanted for that conversation, and I use it every working day for exactly that.

£35. Once, not every year.

It isn't on sale yet — the app is in final testing while Apple verifies the company. This is what it will cost.

£35

one payment · one Mac · yours to keep

  • 14 days free, no card
  • Move it between Macs whenever you like
  • Free updates, any Mac from macOS 10.15
  • An expired licence never locks you out of your own data

For comparison: Tyme is about £45 a year, Timing about £100. Those are good tools. They're just rented.

Be told when it ships.

One message when it's ready. Nothing before that, and nothing else afterwards.

One word back takes you off again.

Questions worth asking

Does it really never read my screen?

Never. It has no screen-recording or accessibility permissions, and it cannot see your apps, documents or browsing. The only thing it knows is what you tapped.

Won't a prompt every fifteen minutes drive me mad?

It appears in the menu bar rather than taking focus, one key dismisses it, and it stays silent outside the hours and days you choose. You can set the interval to 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes instead.

What if I miss one?

It asks again, still holding the whole interval. Nothing is lost by not being at the desk, and you can fill a gap in afterwards.

Where does my data live?

In a file on your Mac that you can read, export and back up. There is no account and no server, and an expired licence never blocks you from reading, editing or exporting what you already have.

Can I get my time out for invoicing?

Yes — the record exports, and the week can be broken down by project. It isn't an invoicing suite, and isn't trying to be.
