About Timing

Timing is a time tracking app for Mac that records activity in the background. It logs which applications, websites and documents a user works with, so they can review where time went and assign it to projects without starting and stopping timers.

The app uses a timeline that groups related time blocks, drag-and-drop assignment, and rules that can be created by dragging to automate how activities are categorized over time. AI summaries and suggestions help turn raw activity into time entries. It works across web browsers, remote work tools, office apps, note-taking, development and video production software.

Timing is a paid commercial Mac application that offers a free download with a 30-day trial that needs no credit card. Plans are listed on the vendor's pricing page and a help center is provided.
