Trackr: a private Mac timeline for remembering your workday

Disclosure: we are the team behind Trackr. This introduction was prepared with AI assistance using our published product documentation.

At the end of a day, a calendar tells you what was planned. It can be harder to reconstruct the stretches between meetings: when you were at your Mac, when you stepped away, and where to start checking your notes. Trackr is designed to provide a small piece of that context.

Trackr is a Mac menu bar app that turns keyboard and pointer activity into five-minute active/idle slices. Its day ribbon shows the timeline, while a local archive provides day coverage, totals and readable timestamps. It also includes a focus score. According to our documentation, it does not capture screenshots or typed contents and does not require an account or cloud dashboard.

A practical way to use this kind of timeline is as a prompt for recall: review the day, compare the active stretches with your own calendar or project notes, and then write your standup or end-of-day summary. That comparison is a manual workflow suggestion, not an integration claim. The activity record alone cannot identify a client project, prove billable work, or measure the quality of thinking. Reading, planning and conversations can matter even when there is little keyboard activity.

Trackr requires macOS 11 or later. The Mac download is free; full tracking and history require a $4.99 one-time unlock, as documented on October 3, 2026.

For freelancers and builders here: when reconstructing a day, would you find an active/idle timeline useful alongside your notes, or do you prefer keeping the record entirely by hand?
