Chronoid

Chronoid is an automatic time tracking app for Mac aimed at freelancers, consultants, and small agencies who bill by the hour. Rather than relying on manually started timers, it runs quietly in the menu bar and records every app, website, and document a user works in throughout the day, then assigns each block of time to the right client project using smart rules.

At invoice time, Chronoid turns that timeline into filterable hour breakdowns by client, project, or date range, with one-click PDF report export. It includes a chat-style AI assistant for asking questions about tracked time, visual dashboards for spotting the most profitable projects and productive hours, idle-time detection so away time never inflates billable totals, and built-in focus tools like a Pomodoro timer and a website blocker for staying on task during client work.

Chronoid is a native macOS app built for Apple Silicon, with all tracking data processed and stored locally on-device rather than sent to a server. It's a one-time purchase starting at $49 with lifetime updates included and no subscription.
