Timing - Automatic Mac Time Tracker

Overview

Timing is automatic time tracking software for Mac that runs quietly in the background, recording application and web usage automatically without manual timers. The app prioritizes privacy while providing comprehensive activity tracking.

Automatic Tracking

Timing automatically tracks:

• Applications used
• Window titles
• Documents worked on
• Websites visited
• Time spent on each activity

All tracking happens in the background with no manual timer starting/stopping required.

Privacy Features

Local Storage

All tracked data stored locally on your Mac and never leaves unless you opt into sync. This local-first approach is a core privacy feature.

Privacy Controls

• Private or incognito browser tabs automatically have information discarded
• Add any activities to exclusion list to prevent tracking
• Full control over what gets monitored

Team Privacy

For team usage, admins only see aggregate times associated with team projects - no personal times or private details shared.
