Timing
2019.4Discover how you spend time on your Mac.
Overview
Timing is the best way to keep track of the time you spend with your Mac. Find out where your time goes -- without ever having to start a timer again! Timing automatically tracks which documents you are editing, which applications you use, and the domains of the websites you visit. You'll never have to worry about forgetting to start or stop a timer again -- there are none! It's all done in the background! After tracking, just drag and drop activities into projects. Some general categories like "Web Browsing", "Office", and "Games" have already been prepared for you, but you can customize them any way you like!
Review this week's activities with just one click! Sophisticated graphs show you how you spent your time each day and which projects consumed most of your time.

What's new in Timing
- Timing will now show Google and DuckDuckGo search queries, Google Docs and YouTube videos in the "Paths" card on the "Review" screen.
- You can now duplicate projects by right-clicking them, including their title, color, rules and sub-projects. This is very useful for e.g. creating a "Client template" that you simply duplicate for every new client.
- Color schemes for projects: Top-level projects can now be created with light, dark or very dark colors, selectable on the "Advanced" preference pane. In addition, sub-projects will now be created with colors similar to the parent project’s, with additional options for identical or rainbow colors.
- You can now unclutter the "Keywords" card on the "Review" screen: Right-click a keyword, then click "Hide keyword".
- You can now click a "Task Stopped" notification to immediately edit the task that was stopped.
- Updated/added path/URL tracking for Slack, Notion, BBEdit, Firefox 71, and WhatsApp.
- Improvement: Timing no longer immediately shows the task title auto-complete window when editing an existing task, letting you more easily access the task’s time and notes.
- Improved the reliability of determining which calendars to show on the timeline in a few rare cases.
- Bugfix: Fixed a small bug when using the "fractional hours" format in JSON reports.

Daniel here, the developer of Timing. Just a quick heads-up that you can use Timing indefinitely after purchasing it. The $49 upgrade after one year is optional and only required to get new updates to Timing and use our sync service for another year. Developing the app on an ongoing basis and keeping our sync service running requires a significant investment from our side, and those paid upgrades ensure that we can "keep the lights running".
This also benefits you, the customer, in the long term: The alternative would be to purchase an app now that would be discontinued after a few years because further development could not be funded, which would not be in your interest, either. And that outcome is exactly what our pricing model avoids.
Best Regards,
Daniel Alm
