Sample data · press Stop to try it
01Start
Name the task, pick a project and categories.
02Pause or stop
From the window or the tray. Idle time gets a prompt.
03Report
Group by day, week or project and export a PDF.
Everything in one small app
From the first minute to the invoice.
Track as you go or fix entries afterwards. Reports, rates and exports work from the same local data.
Projects & categories
Give each project a colour and description. Tag tasks with comma-separated categories; the first one is the primary.
Reports that add up
Daily, weekly, monthly or a custom range. Group by day, week or project, with subtotals and filters.
Billing built in
Set an hourly rate, the monthly hours at that rate and a price for extra hours. Reports show the total cost.
PDF export
Save exactly what you see, with its filters and grouping, as a clean PDF report for a client or your records.
Plain local files
Tasks are JSON files in a folder you choose. No account and no server: back them up or sync them however you like.
A look inside
Three tabs, no clutter.
Signed updates
Checks once a day, shows the release notes and verifies the signature before installing. A running timer survives the restart.
Light or dark
Follow the system theme or pick one. The interface is in English and Spanish.
Idle detection
Away from the desk? Decide what to do with the idle minutes when you come back.
