TimeTrove

A time tracker that sits in a small bar on your screen, asks where idle time went instead of guessing, and turns your week into a timesheet. Everything stays in one file on your machine.

Three steps, every day

  1. 1

    Track

    Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T anywhere, type a few letters, hit Enter. You're timing the new task, and the old one is closed off.

  2. 2

    Correct

    Walked away? When you return, one prompt asks where the gap goes: 1 keeps it, 2 moves it, 3 throws it out.

    Report

    A Monday-start grid of tasks by day, with totals. Copy it into your timesheet tool or export CSV.

Built around how a workday actually goes

Always in view

The bar shows what you're on and today's total. The clock turns gold at your daily goal, and "Not tracking" is impossible to miss.

Fix a day by dragging

Your week at a glance

Every day on one 24-hour scale, coloured by task, so a short Friday or a late Tuesday stands out.

See the shape of your year

Pick a week, a month or the last twelve months. Insights shows average start and finish times, lunch length, how often you hit your goal, and where the hours went by task, weekday and hour of day.

Optional integrations

All three are off until you add a token. Nothing is sent anywhere else.

Your time stays on your machine

No account, no server, no sync. TimeTrove keeps everything in a single SQLite file that you can back up, copy or delete.
