Chunk
Menu bar time-blocking app for Mac, sold as a one-time license
What is Chunk?
Chunk is a time-blocking app for macOS that opens from the menu bar. Tasks from its own lists and from Apple Reminders are dragged onto a day, week or month timeline that syncs both ways with Apple, Google and Outlook calendars, and a countdown in the menu bar tracks the block in progress. It is sold as a one-time license after a 7-day trial, and the schedule is stored on the Mac.
Chunk is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $29.99 one-time (Lifetime License, 2 Macs). See every plan
Good for
- Mac users who time-block around Google, Outlook or Apple calendars
- People who want a one-time license instead of a subscription
- Keeping planning data on the device, with optional iCloud sync between Macs
Worth knowing
- Chunk runs on macOS 12 or later only; the vendor says there is no Windows, Linux or Android version.
- The iPhone app is listed as coming soon and will be a separate $8.99 one-time purchase, not part of the Mac license.
- There is no free plan: access stops when the 7-day trial ends unless a license is bought.
- A Mac license bought directly from Chunk is a final sale and is not refundable.
Key features
- Menu bar panel
- Opens from the menu bar or with Cmd+/ and floats above other windows, fullscreen apps included. A countdown for the current block stays in the menu bar.
- Day, week and month timeline
- Drag on the timeline to create a block or drop a task from a list. Views cover one, three or five days, a week or a month, with PDF and CSV export.
- Two-way calendar sync
- Google, Outlook and Apple Calendar events sit beside your blocks, and moving or resizing one in Chunk writes the change back. A lock toggle makes them read-only.
- Task lists and templates
- Smart lists, custom lists and Apple Reminders share one searchable column. Recurring template lists store a reusable day to apply whole or block by block.
- Analytics
- A dashboard compares 7, 30 and 90-day ranges for planned hours, completed tasks, follow-through and how consistently recurring routines were kept.
- Local MCP server for Claude
- An optional MCP server runs on the Mac and lets Claude Desktop read the schedule and create, edit or delete events, tasks and templates.
