Klokki is a rule-based automatic time-tracking app for macOS. Improve your productivity and profitability by keeping track of your time. Created for the freelancers and makers who value time.
Hello everyone! I'm Stas the Founder and Designer at Klokki.
I am very excited to launch today and present to you Klokki the rule-based time-tracking for freelancers and makers. Our goal was to make time-tracking convenient and finally remove the need to start or pause a timer.
Being a freelancer myself, time-tracking was always something that's in the way because you constantly need to think about it. And yet, it is still very important to have. To put it simply — time = money. So we thought, how can we solve that?
Automation is, of course, the first thing that comes to mind. But all the tools that provide automatic time-tracking also take away the control over what I actually want to track and make the whole process of linking time to a project cumbersome.
Therefore we've created "Auto-Tracking" which gives you the possibility to configure specific rules for your tasks. With this, you are able to tell Klokki that it should start tracking, as soon as you start working on file-x, or open site-y, or the combination of those two. We've included a variety of options that will give you endless configuration possibilities.
But besides the Auto-Tracking capabilities, we also wanted to retain the advantages of manual time-tracking. Hence you still will able to use the traditional start/pause controls. This way you have the perfect balance of automation and full control over your timekeeping.
And here are also some of the other features that Klokki has:
* Reports that help you visualize and review your data
* Flexible folders and tasks structure, which makes it super easy to manage your projects
* Klokki lives in your Menu Bar with a convenient mini-tracker
* Works offline
* Beautiful design, that is natively built for the Mac
* Billable hours are also coming very soon
* …and much more
I am looking forward to reading your feedback and questions, and hope that you'll give Klokki a try by downloading the free 30-day trial at klokki.com. We really put a lot of time, effort and love into developing the app, and hope that you have a great time with it!
Thank you all in advance!

P.S. For the purpose to clear things up in advance — Klokki is a relaunch of the Timepal project, which ended because of a split between co-founders. Therefore I apologize for any confusion this might cause you. And if you are a previous Timepal Pro user, you can switch to Klokki for free. Just write to me at contact@klokki.com to receive the license. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.
@deadcoder0904 Thank you, Akshay! Great to hear that you like the app and the GIF — it was fun to make 😃

So timingapp.com has been on the market for years and is doing a phenomenal job at rule based tracking on Macs. Could you explain how Klokki wants to differentiate itself and where it could improve on current solutions like Timing?
@davidm Thank you, David, for dropping by!
Timing is a very good app and it is solving the issue its own way. What we are offering with Klokki is already different. We want to give the user the control to set up rules in advance and link those rules to specific tasks right away.
Besides that, we also provide a super intuitive folders and tasks structure, which differs from the way how Timing does it, a lot. And you can also use the traditional start/pause controls, in cases when you just need a timer.
We offer a free 30-day trial. So if you are interested, I welcome you to give it a shot and test the app for yourself. Please feel free to get back to me if you have further questions — happy to help out!

Love it!! Have been waiting for something like this. 👌🏻
I saw on your website it supports csv export/import. What about API integration? For instance, I use Plutio as a task management platform. Would love to plug into this. https://docs.plutio.com/
@louise_dwyer That's great to hear, Louise!
We don't support any API integrations yet. But it is for sure on our roadmap, and I will add Plutio to the list of possible integrations. Thank you for the suggestion!

This is really cool! Will there be a version for Windows ever? Just thinking of all the remote workers at our company and I feel like they would love something like this, but they don't work on Mac.
@leslie_heller I appreciate your interest in Klokki. As of now, we don’t have support for Windows. But it is for sure one of our main goals for the future of the product.
We are currently a very small team of two, and therefore have limited resources to support multiple systems.
Sorry for not having a better answer at this moment.
Being able to switch between apps and projects knowing that Klokki will take care of tracking everything is SO worth it. It boosts your productivity and lightens your work routine by making you forget about tracking time - you’ll still have all your reports whenever you need them.
It just works as you expect, and that’s kind of amazing
@jacopo_ranalli Oh wow! Thank you so much, Jacopo! This is such a detailed comment! Appreciate the support! 🤝

I was a huge fan of the functionality and the design of TimePal when it was released. I truly enjoyed using it through the trial stage and it's absolutely beautiful. Still is as Klokki. The support from Stas was fantastic as well. The only issue I had that kept me from moving from Timing to TimePal/Klokki at the time is sync between Macs. I work on both an iMac and MBP, exporting and importing reports between the two would be too inconvenient to justify moving away from a system that handles that for me. With Timing, I can open it up on either machine, make adjustments, and both are in sync. That being said, I would use Klokki for time management without hesitation if I were using only a single machine. It's a great and truly beautiful app, and I highly recommend it. Congrats on the rebrand, Stas! Best of luck!
@jeffdashley Thank you, Jeff! Great to see that you've enjoyed the app. Also awesome to hear that you were happy with the support I provided! I understand the need for syncing very well, and we will 100% move in that direction. But we are currently a small team of two, and sadly can only work on one thing at a time. But we are trying our best to move as fast as we can. Sorry for not having a more concrete answer at the moment.
Thanks for the kind words, Jeff! 🤝

@moorstas Totally understood. Thanks for the quick reply! I'll be keeping a very close eye on your progress.
Been using klokki for a while now and I really love it. Creating rules for autotracking is pretty easy and klokki just works which is amazing!
One of the issues I had with tracking apps was forgetting to stop the clock when I left my desk, but klokki solves this problem beautifully! If you stopped working on something for more than x minutes (you can set it up) klokki will popup a window and asks if you want to stop the timer on that time. Press a button and done!
So yeah can't really point anything wrong with the app. Great work 👍
Pros:
Great way to keep track of different projects and tasks with auto tracking!
Cons:
Could be good to have some templates for auto tracking (but it's going to be implemented it seems 👍)
