So I recommend you try it :)īy the way, there you can use the Stopwatch tab to manually track anything )ĪctivityWatch is an open-source automated time tracker that’sĬross-platform, extensible, and privacy-first. I'm using ActivityWatch for about half a month and it really like it. Has not been updated for 9 months, twitter account has been inactive for 5 months. There is no way to test it without paying the $6.99 price.

It feels a bit like a Windows app that has been ported to Mac but I am not sure if that's true. OfficeTime feels like the best match so far but the UI is very cluttered (see this screenshot of the Generate Bill dialog as an example).Small typography, limited support for keyboard shortcuts and complex interface. iBiz and timeEdition have been discontinued.The same goes for Toggl: looks good, but is subscription-based and costs $5 per month.But it is subscription-only which is a no-go for me and costs at least $12 per month. Harvest looks good, it does have a desktop client itself and an API that is used by lots of apps.A friend uses it and says it crashes sometimes though it has not happended to me yet. Timings light-weight but the UI to create clients, projects and tasks can be confusing.At least he does not really fix bugs and is very slow to respond to his user base. On the Job looks great, but the developer seems to have abandoned it.

Here's what I have looked at so far based on my google doc list


I must emphasize that none of them really solves the problem stated above perfectly. I am listing the apps I have looked at so far. It may well be, as someone suggested, that it can be done with just some script. For instance, while I appreciate the usefulness of these features, I am not interested in iCal integration, nor in the ability to create invoices.īasically, what I am looking for is just a sort of "multi-timer", in which each timer can be easily started/stopped, and which logs the timings in any readable form. UPDATE: Thanks everybody for your answers, but I am not sure I have yet found what I am looking for. I have been trying out such a program called TrackTime, but it is (at least on my 10.5 MacBook) quite slow to react, and cannot show easily data for more than five or so activities. I am looking for a program to time projects and activities, both computer- and real life-based, allowing me to tell him to start and stop timing this or that activity, in a very light, background, non-invasive way, and possibly keping past data about time intervals spent on various activities.
