Chronoid.Stop guessing how long you worked on each project.
Chronoid is an automatic time-tracking and productivity app for macOS. It records activity across apps, websites, documents, and coding sessions, then turns that history into a local timeline, reports, projects, and summaries without requiring a manual timer to be started for every task.
It is made for people who need a truthful view of where time went but forget to track it while working. A freelancer can review billable work, a developer can see context switches, and a knowledge worker can compare focused work with distractions before preparing an invoice, standup, or weekly review.
Chronoid keeps tracking data on the Mac and does not require an account for its local workflow. That privacy-first approach is valuable, but automatic tracking still relies on macOS permissions and records activity that should be reviewed carefully before it is used for reporting or shared with anyone else.
Features
- Track apps, websites, documents, and coding activity automatically instead of relying on manual start and stop timers.
- Review and edit a timeline, add manual entries, assign work to projects, and handle activity that happens outside a browser or app window.
- Categorize work with rules, including compound conditions and regular expressions, to make reports more useful for clients or personal review.
- Create time, billing, invoice, and productivity reports, then export or filter them by client, project, and date range.
- Use focus tools such as a Pomodoro timer and system-level website blocking to make distraction patterns actionable.
- Keep data locally and use current local-AI, Apple Intelligence, cloud-AI, MCP, calendar, or Screen Time features according to the selected configuration.
Where it fits
Chronoid is a good fit for freelancers, developers, and knowledge workers who want automatic local time tracking with stronger reporting and focus tools than a simple stopwatch. It is especially useful when missed timers make billing or self-review unreliable.
Automatic tracking is inherently sensitive, and feature maturity can vary as the app evolves. People who need team timesheets, web access, or cross-platform accounts may prefer a service designed around those requirements.
