100% on-device. Verified by design, not by promise.

Time tracking that never leaves your Mac

TimePrivate tracks your work automatically, turns it into gorgeous reports and ready-to-send invoices, and keeps every second of it on your machine. No cloud. No account. No surveillance.

Launching first on Apple Silicon Macs. Windows is on the roadmap. One email when it ships, nothing else.

For you, not your boss

Most trackers are surveillance tools wearing a productivity costume. TimePrivate is structurally different: the monitoring features simply do not exist.

No screenshots
No keystroke logging
No manager dashboard
No account or login
No telemetry, ever
No server to breach

Your data lives in a local database on your Mac. There is no upload code to trust, because there is no upload. Export everything to CSV whenever you like.

Your day, tracked in three moves

1

It tracks itself

Automatic tracking notices which apps you're in, browser tabs by domain only, and maps them to your projects with rules you set once. Forgot to start a timer? Nothing is lost.

2

You approve, one tap

Each day TimePrivate drafts your timesheet from what it saw: "Today, already drafted, 5h 40m across 3 projects." Accept all, tweak, or dismiss. Nothing books itself.

3

You get paid

Tracked hours become branded PDF invoices with your rates, tax, expenses, due dates, and a pay-online link. Fully offline, no invoicing service required.

Everything the cloud tools do. Nothing they take.

Reports you'll actually open

A weekly goal ring, streaks, a 24-hour rhythm dial that shows your golden hours, deep-work stats, and a year heatmap. Analytics built to change your behavior, not report it to someone else.

Sync without a server

Optional multi-device sync through a folder you control, like iCloud Drive or Dropbox. Files are end-to-end encrypted with your passphrase. The cloud only ever holds ciphertext.

Local invoicing

Invoice history, statuses, duplicate-for-next-month, overdue badges, and per-entry billable control so internal time never lands on a client's bill.

Keyboard-first

⌘K adds time in plain English: "2h Acme redesign yesterday 2pm #design". A menu-bar mini panel and a global shortcut start and stop timers from anywhere.

Honest idle detection

Step away and TimePrivate offers to keep or discard the idle time when you return. It reads only the time since your last input, never the input itself.

Leave Toggl in an afternoon

Import your history from Toggl, Clockify, or Harvest CSV exports and calendar .ics files, including tags and billable flags. Encrypted local backups keep it safe.

One subscription. Everything included.

No tiers to decode, no per-seat surveillance economics. Every feature, every update.

Monthly
$9/month
  • Automatic and manual tracking
  • Full reports and analytics
  • Unlimited invoices
  • E2E encrypted sync
  • All future updates

Compare: cloud trackers charge similar money and keep your behavioral data. Here the subscription funds updates and the privacy guarantee, and the data stays yours.

Questions, answered plainly

Where exactly is my data?

In a local SQLite database inside your Mac's application data folder. You can export everything to CSV at any time, and encrypted backups are a single file you keep wherever you like.

Is there really no cloud at all?

The app makes no network requests. If you turn on sync, TimePrivate writes end-to-end encrypted files into a folder you choose (like iCloud Drive or Dropbox). Your cloud provider sees only ciphertext, and TimePrivate has no servers of its own.

How is this different from Toggl or RescueTime?

They are cloud services: your work history lives on their servers, under their policies. TimePrivate does the same job, including automatic tracking and invoicing, without your data ever leaving the machine. There is nothing to subpoena, breach, or quietly change terms on.

Can my employer use this to monitor me?

No. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging, no admin console, and no way to view anyone else's data. Team features are limited to files you deliberately export and hand over.

What about Windows?

Mac ships first, on Apple Silicon. Windows is on the roadmap, and waitlist subscribers will hear the moment it lands.

Why a subscription for a local app?

The subscription funds continuous work: updates, new features like on-device AI categorization, and keeping the privacy guarantee intact as platforms change. Billing is transparent, cancel anytime, and your data never depends on the subscription. It is on your Mac.

Your hours are nobody's business
