Timing

Timing is a macOS app that logs, in the background, the apps, websites and documents a person works in. Users then review the timeline and assign blocks to projects, instead of starting and stopping timers. The developer is listed in Germany and has worked on the app since 2011.

What Timing offers

• Automatic tracking — records activity across Mac apps down to individual documents and web addresses.
• AI summaries — overviews of the day and suggested time entries that group related activity.
• Rules and drag-and-drop — assignment rules that sort future activity into projects automatically.
• Wider capture — phone calls, calendar events and meetings, and Screen Time data from iOS devices.
• Web app and API — remote timers, a web API, Zapier and scripting.
• Storage — data kept locally, with optional cloud backup and sync.

Who it works with

It is aimed at freelancers and consultants who bill clients, lawyers tracking billable hours, developers, remote workers and small teams.
