About Timing
Timing is an automated productivity tool for macOS that eliminates the need for manual start/stop timers. It automatically tracks which apps, documents, and websites a user interacts with, categorizing them into projects based on customizable rules. This allows freelancers and agencies to accurately bill hours and individuals to optimize their workflows. The service has expanded from a local Mac application to include 'Timing for Teams,' allowing collaborative project management and aggregate reporting. While the app is Mac-native, it includes a web-based dashboard and syncing capabilities for cross-device usage. It emphasizes privacy by ensuring that private details are not shared with team admins, focusing instead on aggregated time data.
