Timing
Automatic time tracking for Mac with no timers to start
What is Timing?
Timing is a Mac app that records which apps, documents and websites you use, so time can be reviewed and assigned to projects after the fact instead of with running timers. Rules assign recurring activity automatically, and reports export as timesheets for billing. Tracked data stays on the Mac unless sync is switched on, and a companion web app handles timers away from the computer.
Timing is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $9 per month, billed annually ($11 billed monthly). See every plan
Good for
- Mac users who want time recorded without starting timers
- Freelancers who bill clients from a record of apps and documents used
- People who want tracked data kept on their own Mac by default
Worth knowing
- The tracker runs only on macOS; phones and other computers are limited to the web app.
- There is no free plan: a subscription is needed after the 30-day trial.
- Each seat covers a set number of personal Macs: 1 on Professional, 2 on Expert and 3 on Connect.
- Team features, the Web API, Zapier and MCP integration are limited to the Connect plan.
Key features
- Automatic tracking
- Records the apps, documents and websites used on the Mac without timers. Private and incognito browser tabs are discarded, and an exclusion list keeps chosen items out.
- Timeline and rules
- An interactive timeline shows the day's activity and lets you add offline time. Option-dragging an activity onto a project creates a rule that assigns similar work from then on.
- Calls, meetings and Screen Time
- Tracks time spent on phone calls, meetings and calendar events, prompts you when a video or voice call ends, and can import mobile app usage from Screen Time.
- AI summaries and MCP
- AI summaries group related activities and highlight the main topics of a day. The Connect plan adds MCP integration so an AI agent can work with your time data.
- Reports for billing
- Timesheets export as PDF, XLSX, CSV or HTML, with rounding and billing status tracking. A GrandTotal integration passes tracked time to that invoicing app.
- Web app and teams
- A web app syncs with the Mac app and can be installed on a phone to start and stop timers. On Connect, teams share projects and admins review members' times.
