Activity tracking & idle detection for desktop
The desktop app can now track window activity in the background and detect when you step away, all stored locally.

Our desktop apps just got some major improvements and long-awaited features that make time tracking easier and more accurate.
Window activity tracking
Forgot to start the timer? No problem. The desktop app can now automatically track window activity in the background, so you always know what you've been working on, even when you forget to start tracking. All activity data is stored locally only and is never sent to the server. Enable it in the desktop app settings.
Idle detection
Forgot to stop the timer? We've got you covered there, too. Idle detection automatically spots inactivity on your computer and, when you come back, asks whether you'd like to adjust the time entry. You can configure a custom idle duration in the settings.
