Daily shows what you have been doing and for how long. It tracks your time by periodically asking what you are doing instead of using timers. Use resulting timesheets to submit your hours, create invoices, or increase productivity.
▶ Tracking time by asking what you’re doing
Forget toggling timers, stopwatches, or note-taking. Daily tracks your time by periodically asking what you are doing. This way, you will never forget to track any billable hours. Additionally, Daily helps prevent procrastination by letting you confirm your current activity regularly.
▶ Accurate timesheets
View accurate timesheets per day, week, month, and year, broken down by categories, projects, or customers. Use them to create invoices, report hours, or increase productivity. Additionally, see when you started and stopped working.
▶ Plan when to track time
Make Daily fit your working schedule. It features a scheduler enabling you to specify when Daily should track your time per day of the week. You can also (temporarily) disable time tracking or silently track an activity for a specific period.
▶ Integrate, export and automate
Integrate with other apps via the web API, MCP or Zapier. Export data directly from the app to CSV, JSON or PDF, or automate Daily using AppleScript.
▶ Simple yet powerful
Daily is simple to use yet fully configurable to support your way of working. It looks beautiful both in light and dark mode. System-wide keyword shortcuts allow you to operate Daily from within other apps, and data is synchronized between your devices using iCloud.
▶ Also available for iOS
Use Daily's iOS app to view and edit timesheets when not behind your Mac. Visit https://dailytimetracking.com/ios for more information and availability.
Daily requires a license to track your time. You can obtain a monthly, yearly, and lifetime license within the app. The monthly and yearly license automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before their end date. As a business, you can also obtain multiple licenses using a single payment method and distribute these licenses to your employees per email.

If you're looking for an app that will record your hours and then use that data to create an invoice for you, this is not the one for you.If your looking to track your hours in an easy setup and intuitive format and non-distracting way to record what you've been doing on your computer for a project or how your spend your time, this is a excellent choice.I tried a few others, but there was time needed to invest figuring out how to use it. There was no Lifetime purchase option only a subscription option. But what won me over is the pop-up screen that asks you "what are you currently doing?". You select what your doing from a drop-down list that you've created. Your activity time has been recorded and then you keep on working. Easy! (You also enter how often you want it to appear in an hour. I have mine set for every 15min)As a freelance designer, I move from project to project multiple times in a day. So not having to press a button to stop and go for each project I work on is the BIGGEST win for me. Without the pop-up screen, I say no way Jose. I went all in and bought the Lifetime option. Also, in the past, when I have had a couple of questions on separate occasions, the developer has always replied back to me within 48 hours with a detailed explanation that I could understand.And one last mention. By using this app, it means that I do write my own invoices, but that’s part of doing business. The functionality of this app suits me the best and thus the pros outweigh the cons.

Time Saver that Tracks Time
td3k
This is an ingenious little app that solves the annoying problem of managing and keeping a timesheet. This unobtrusive app does the heavy lifting for you and frees your mind and your time from the mundane drudgery of trying to remember what you worked on and noting it down. Set it up once with your preferences and a schedule and forget it; it will automatically run in the menu bar and pop up throughout the day to ask you what you are currently working on. Overtime, you’ll build your list of activities that you can access from a drop down menu. If you’re working on something new, simply create the task in the app and it will be available for future reference. I love it and highly recommend it if you want an accurate, low maintenance way to track your hours throughout the day and then have a printout of all your activities instantly. This syncs with iClouds and works flawlessly between laptops, Mac desktops, iPhones and iPads. 5 stars all the way.

This is maybe my first app review of all time. I love this time tracker. I have ADHD and suffer from a thing called "time blindness," where my conception of time is just almost always wrong. I also have a really hard time switching tasks, or stepping back to evaluate what I'm doing, and whether I need to change course. When I was self-employed, I used toggl to record my own "time card," but now I need a time tracker mainly to satisfy my own curiosity, keep track of my activities in a low-key way, and have the ability to assess (roughly) how I'm spending my time without "time tracking" taking up big chunks of mental bandwidth (and time!!) This is it. The moment I installed it and the tiny pop-up asked me what I'd been doing, I almost cried with relief. It's so easy. You don't have to remember to look at the time whenever you switch activities, and mess around with your tracker. Your tracker notices this for you, and asks. It helps me track my time without becoming another "thing" I have to do.

Nicely built and perfectly minimal tracking tool.

I've been wary of the sample based/popup approach to tracking, but the developers have clearly taken care to make Daily Time Tracker unintrusive and fluid to use. The AppleScript integration is a nice touch, although it could use more documentation.I especially appreciate the developer's privacy policy. As of writing activities are locally stored, and personal data isn't shared with anyone (increasingly rare, needless to say). I'm happy to pay for a solid product that doesn't make its money slinging my data.The only thing I've felt is missing is sync across machines. I use multiple Macs throughout the day, and it would be useful to continue tracking when switching. It would be great if this could be done in a way that wouldn't detract from the privacy, say using iCloud Drive instead of a remote database. Or just adding an AppleScript action to import data could let users tinker this together themselves.
• Added the option to enable or disable iCloud synchronization.
• Fixed various UI issues.
• Improved activity filtering within groups.
• Fixed the dashboard closing immediately after opening from the menu bar on macOS 27.
• Made subscription offers clearer and more reliable.
• Refreshed the introduction screens to better explain how Daily works.
