Timecard

Timecard is a screen time tracker for macOS that records which apps and websites you use, and how long. It splits browser time into real sites such as github.com and x.com instead of one combined Chrome or Safari figure, ignores time when you are away, and keeps every day in a single local file rather than the roughly four weeks Apple's Screen Time keeps. Each evening it prints your day as a numbered timecard with punch in and out times, top apps and sites, and work, social and fun totals.

You can set daily limits on any app or website. At 80% of a limit Timecard shows a nudge, and when the time runs out it blocks the site's tab or covers the app. Version 2 adds a view of AI coding tool usage from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode and Gemini CLI, and an MCP server so those agents can query your own Timecard data. Version 2.4 adds iPhone usage synced through Apple's Share Across Devices, with a Timecard Gate shortcut for iPhone limits.

It is for Mac users who want a clearer picture of their own time than Screen Time gives, including people who want to limit distracting sites or review how their workday was spent. Data stays on the Mac, and the product is sold as a one-time purchase for macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
