Just keep focusing on your work while
Timing records your time automatically,
then review your time when it is convenient for you.

The timeline even shows when you worked on what,
making smart suggestions to record hours of time with just one click.

Timing’s smart timeline shows you exactly what you did at any given time, including which app, document or website you were using.

And it even makes suggestions for blocks of time that belong together — just click the '+' button to assign a whole block at once!
This lets you assign many hours of tracked time in just a few seconds.
It even works for times when you didn’t use your Mac, so you can easily add meetings!

Timing already comes with several pre-defined categories. But when that’s not enough, simply drag and drop activities to assign them. It doesn’t get any more intuitive than this.

• “Timing 2 does a brilliant job of grouping tasks together and automatically assigning 'keywords' to add new tasks to groups. [...] As a result, you can easily see what activities you spent the most time on – and possibly realize that you're not focusing on what you thought you were. [...] It makes it easy to group activities and reap the benefits of manual time tracking with the ease of automation.”

• “At the end of a day, you can see how everything has gone: what apps you used, what documents, what websites and always how long you spent in each. If you want to, you can go through the list and assign everything to projects.
  It's detailed enough that it will track different email threads in Mail and rather than saying you spent five hours using Safari, it will see that ten minutes was on your online banking and the rest was Facebook.”

• “Over the last 30 years of using a Mac I’ve tried a plethora of different time tracking applications, and without a doubt, Timing is my favorite one.
  I love that it’s unobtrusive (if you want it to be) yet very detailed in it’s collection of data about what apps and documents you are using. I love that I don’t have to “start tracking” like so many other time tracking apps make you do.”

• “Timing is really unobtrusive, it just works, in the background. No hassle with manual input of data, no allocating to projects, it just records all my work. And when you need to know what you’ve done it’s there, all my hours, by project, by period.
  Really valuable for me, being self employed and doing a ton of things per day, in the evening, in the weekends. Now I can make my hours billable.”

• “Wow! I can’t get over much time this saves me. I don’t have to set anything up before I begin working on a project. I can FINISH a project and take less than 1 minute (after it’s completed) to drag all the specified folder and files and websites into the Timing project and Wham! I have an accurate total number of hours spent actively working on the project.”

• “This is an amazing tool to control and backtrack the usage of the programs you use. Goodbye procrastination!! This app is so well programmed too! Little details that other programmers leave behind is absolutely not a concern here.”

• “Before Timing, we were using manual timesheet tools, and we were always forgetting to start or stop it. Now with Timing our work days have become more efficient, more productive and very less stressful, with timesheets ten times more precise. So thank you for that!”

Timing shows meetings and other calendar events right on the timeline, letting you assign and bill them with just two clicks.

This is also great for comparing how you planned your schedule vs. what you actually did.

Timing’s dashboard gives you a great overview of how your time is distributed accross your apps and projects.

It even shows when you are most productive, so you know when you do your best work.

Timing includes a web app, letting you start and stop tasks right on your iPhone before you forget about them. Or use the unofficial native iPhone app to start and stop tasks on the go.

We also offer a Web API for integrating with your billing system of choice. And the Zapier integration lets you connect Timing to third-party services without writing any code.

Everything in Timing is built to help you get the job done super quickly, saving you lots of time in the process.

For example, we even optimized the date picker to require as few clicks as possible.

And thanks to its extensible rules system, almost all activities are automatically categorized — simply ⌥-drag an activity to permanently assign it to a task.

Over time, Timing will save you hours of manual categorization effort, not to mention all the time you’d normally spend starting and stopping manual timers. That’s the magic of an automatic time tracking app.

If you need to track other activities, such as phone calls or meetings, simply add them manually.

Timing can even automatically ask you what you did when you return to your desk!

Plus, our time tracking widget for the menu bar can always show you how productive you are right in your Mac’s status bar, to help you stay on track.

No matter how your clients need you to report your time, Timing can do it.

Freelancers and contractors will love its timesheets, but Timing’s smart reporting capabilities benefit everyone else, too.
