timeMaster

timeMaster is a desktop application for macOS that runs in the background and automatically logs how you spend your time on your computer. It tracks the apps and websites you use, categorizes your activities, and uses that data to give you a clear picture of your workday. The tool aims to replace manual time-tracking by observing your behavior, detecting when you switch between projects, and filtering out non-work distractions like social media browsing.

What makes timeMaster stand out is its strong emphasis on privacy and its suite of analytical features. All your data is stored locally and encrypted on your device—nothing is sent to the cloud. The app then uses this data to generate insights like your most productive hours of the day, your biggest sources of distraction, and a 'focus score.' It also includes practical tools like a Pomodoro timer, daily notes, and a menubar widget for a quick glance at your day's progress.

This tool is ideal for freelancers, remote workers, students, or anyone who works primarily on a Mac and wants to understand their work patterns without the hassle of manually starting and stopping a timer. It helps you see where your time actually goes, set goals for work hours or focused time, and get notifications if you're overworking. It's for people who want data-driven feedback to build more disciplined and balanced work habits.
