Timing Automatic Time Tracker App Reviews

This little applications is trakcing your activity on your Mac. If you want to improve your productivity, it will show you how much time you are speding on different activities and how you are wasting time (games). I tried several similar applications, like Time Rescue, which is an online tool with an agent on your Mac. Time Rescue is a freemium service, if you dont want to use the paid monthly plan and dont want to store you data online, this is pretty good alternative. Another application which I tried is Time Sink, which is doing pretty much the same thing, just differently. I like both and the ideal solution would be combination of features of the two apps: for example Timing can see which Notebook in Evernote Im using, so I cal clasify time tracking based on the Notebook. Good stuff - Time Sink doesnt offer that. What I dont like abou Timing is the "discovery" of new acitivites, which is not instant even with shortes discovery interval. Time Sink show you the used app immediatley and you can assign it to desired type of activity right from the menu, unlike Timing, where you need sue the app for a moment and then open its window and assign there. Again: combination of both apps would be ideal.

Please consider an option for confirmation dialog box to switch it off.

Great app! Made my work easier and more effective! Now I don’t have to think how long I was working on project :)

The best timing app on the market. There are some features that I dont like e.g. ugly strange graph, but tracking, managing and sorting apps made perfect.

Good app! Please add hotkeys for Timeline / By Project switcher (e.g. cmd+1/cmd+2).

Thank you for really awesome app! But can you make more detailed csv-export?

Freezes after update. Cant start visual part (Show tracking result). Could you fix, please?

Thanks. Its a realy awesome app:)

This App will helps me to improve self management, thank you!

Мне нравятся приложения, которые “just works”(просто работают). P.S. Can you make support for tracking apps which work under Parallels Desktop (like Visual Studio, Microsoft Word)

Cool app, thank you! This app is first what i install on fresh os. Better than all others, that i tested.

iCloud data backup, it’s all we want! Please!

Perfect for TM

Please add supporting of multiple devices and synchronization via cloud. This would be a great step forward.

I’ve been using Timing for a couple years now, to track my billable hours as a consultant. It does a stellar job of giving me a granular tracking of everything I do, either internally or for billing purposes. It’s also great that it can exclude nonwork activities taken right in the middle of work activities and allocate them properly.

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now, so I’ve gotten to see it evolve. It’s exactly what I need in order to track my time accurately. I’m a one-woman show, and most of the time I’m way too busy to be worrying about whether or not I clicked “start” or “stop” on my timer when working on a project… not to mention, I’m usually working on two or three projects at any given time! Timing just takes care of all of it for me. At the end of the month, I sort my time into the appropriate projects, and I’m ready to invoice! The developer is super responsive and really has taken the time to create thoughtful improvements over the years. I am super excited to see what Timing is becoming, and I hope to see some integrations in the near future! (Harvest… hint-hint!) There is nothing out there that does what Timing does — not in the same way, and definitely not nearly as well. I can’t imagine doing business without it.

I have problems with a URL that is used in two different browswers (Amazon). One browser I use for work, the other I use for personal use. Timings gets them confused. Organizing and training the system to assign URLs and programs to different programs can be difficult. Moving them between projects isn’t intuitive nor totally error free. Makes me want to use another program to record projects still. Also the Idle tracker while useful can be annoying, it will capture your mouse every time you come back to your mac (personally I wish it would not do that.). I wish it was on a scheduled basis where I could set the Idle to only activate on the weekdays.

This is good at tracking everything you are doing, and has a lot of promise and I love it - but its not so useful at actually providing useful data out. For example, every single website you visit must be categorized separately. Once you categorize a website, it keeps the categorization, but any different domains have to be categorized again. So, if I access multiple websites at work internally that are all say “mycompany.com” in the address, I can’t automatically lump them in - there are no logic rules to auto-categorize websites on common rules. Similarly, if I have a bunch of files in a specific folder, I can’t automatically say “Any files in ‘work’ go under work, while files under ‘school’ go to school. Ultimately, this means that each time I want to look at my report, I have to spend osme time draggling everything that is in “unassigned” into other categories to make it useful. If the ability to create such rules was added, this would be a 5 star app. As it stands, it’s great as a time recording tool, but not so helpful to get the data back out of.

I am a graphic production artist and rely on this app heavily to figure out how much time to record for billing design time.

With every update, Timing keeps getting better and better! It’s one of my Top 10 Mac Utilties. 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. In fact, I’ve noticed that of 2016, other time tracking apps have started to copy what Timing has done amazingly well for a long time. If you do contract work (or just need to track what youre doing at work), and don’t want to always be bothered by having to remember to hit a start button, then Timing is for you. I love that it just tracks my app usage, and documents that I’ve worked on. A great example is that I can go to Chrome or Safari tracking info in Timing, and see when I was goofing off vs. working by looking at the web sites I visited and how long I spent there. I also like that I can have it prompt me when I’m in between using and app, or away from the computer, and asking me what I was up to. This is great as I don’t have to hit a stop tracking button, give it a reason, and then resume tracking. It just does it for me. There really isn’t another Mac app that does as good of a job at tracking my computer usage, or respites away, as Timing. I tip my
