The problem
The Creative's Time Tracking Dilemma
“Traditional time trackers force me to stop what I'm doing to start a timer — right when the creative momentum finally kicks in.”
Interrupted flow states
“Every timer interaction is a mental context switch. It takes 23 minutes to refocus after an interruption.”
Context switching cost
“Forgotten timers mean lost billable hours. I probably underestimate my actual project time by 20-40%.”
Undervalued project time
“The ‘quick logo tweak’ became fourteen revisions. Without tracking, I never see scope creep until the project is already unprofitable.”
Scope creep blindness
The fix
Built for Creative Workflows
Creative work doesn't follow a clock. Chronoid's automatic tracking adapts to how you actually work.

Questions from Creative Professionals
Will Chronoid slow down my creative software?
Not at all. Chronoid uses minimal system resources and runs completely in the background. It won't affect performance in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, VS Code, or any other application. Most users forget it's even running.
How does Chronoid handle multiple projects I work on simultaneously?
Chronoid automatically detects when you switch between applications and documents. You can group activities into projects either automatically based on rules you set, or manually categorize them later. The AI can also help you analyze time across multiple concurrent projects.
Can I use Chronoid to bill clients accurately?
Yes! Chronoid provides detailed reports showing exactly how much time you spent on each project. Export reports for invoicing, or use the data to create more accurate project estimates for future work. You'll never undercharge for your creative time again.
Is my creative work and data kept private?
Absolutely. All data is stored 100% locally on your Mac. Nothing is sent to the cloud, no servers, no third parties. Your project names, client information, and work patterns stay completely private on your machine.
