Automatic time tracking that categorises work and reports focus patterns.
Why we recommend it
Because tracking is automatic, the data is honest — you see where time actually went rather than where you meant it to go.
Strengths
- Fully automatic tracking
- Useful focus and context-switch metrics
- Good privacy stance
Drawbacks
- No free tier
- Mac and Windows only
