Timing
2019.2Discover 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
If you'd like a free trial license to test the new version, please contact us.
- Web/iPhone App: You can now track time on the go via web.timingapp.com, which is fully phone-optimized.
- Archiving projects: You can now archive projects, which hides them in various parts of the interface and disables their rules.
- Siri shortcuts: We have created a few Siri shortcuts to quickly start and stop tasks from your iPhone. You can install them from the Timing API documentation.
- Web API and Zapier integration: These let you integrate Timing with other services like Google Sheets, Toggl, Harvest, Quickbooks, and many more. Check out the API documentation for instructions on how to use them.
- Batch-editing task titles: Double-click a task title in Timing to quickly edit all tasks with the same title rather than just one.
- Stop tasks started on other devices: If you e.g. start a task on your iMac, that task will also show up as running on your MacBook, letting you quickly edit or stop it from there.
- Tip: You can make the web app feel like a native app by pressing the “Share” button in Safari, then tapping “Add to Home Screen”.

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
