Discover where your
time actually goes

Yes, 100%. All your data is stored locally on your Mac in a SQLite database. We have zero access to your data - no analytics, no telemetry, no cloud sync. Even the AI features work with your own API keys or local LLMs, maintaining complete privacy.

You have two options: use local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio) where everything stays on your machine, or use cloud AI services with your own API keys. In both cases, we never see your conversations - the communication happens directly between your Mac and the AI service.

Chronoid tracks the active application, window titles, and URLs/file paths when you're actively using your Mac. It detects idle time automatically and pauses tracking. All tracking is done locally using macOS Accessibility APIs.

No! Chronoid runs automatically in the background. It starts tracking when you use your Mac and stops when you're idle or away. Just install it and forget about it - it works silently in your menu bar.

Yes! We offer a full-featured 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get access to all features including AI categorization, custom rules, and advanced analytics during the trial period.

Chronoid uses smart rules and optional AI to categorize your time. You can set rules based on app names, window titles, domains, or keywords. The AI can suggest categories based on your activity patterns, learning from your preferences over time.

Yes! You can export your time tracking data in various formats including CSV and JSON. Since all data is stored locally in SQLite, you have complete control and can even access the database directly if needed.

No. Chronoid is highly optimized and uses minimal resources. It typically uses less than 100MB of RAM and negligible CPU. The efficient SQLite database ensures fast performance even with years of tracking data.

Chronoid includes automatic updates via Sparkle framework. When updates are available, you'll be notified in the app. Updates are included free forever with your purchase. You can also disable automatic updates if you prefer.
