Agency work can jump from one client to another before the timer catches up. A design tweak, a QA check, a Slack reply, a doc edit, and a quick call all blur together by the time the timesheet opens. Trackr gives Mac users a private local activity trail so the first draft starts from real five-minute slices instead of a clean story you made up later.
Facts last checked June 20, 2026 against Trackr product notes
| Factor | Trackr | agency timesheet reconstruction |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | Reconstructing agency timesheets after client switching | Guessing from memory, Slack, files, browser history, and calendars |

| Best moment | Before writing draft time entries or client notes | During clean client blocks where the timer was perfect |
| Data location | On your Mac | Spread across PM tools, billing apps, docs, chats, and browser tabs |
| Privacy model | No screenshots, no keystroke contents, no cloud dashboard | Depends on every tool you search |
| Useful detail | Active time, idle time, recent rhythm, and five-minute slices | Only the records you remembered to create |
| Best for | Personal recall before official agency time entry | Final invoices, client approvals, retainers, and agency reporting |
