When billable hours depend on remembering a messy Mac day

Billable work is not always a clean timer block. It can be a bug fix, a client email, a doc edit, a call, three browser tabs, and then another interruption. Trackr gives Mac users a private local receipt of active time and app context so invoice notes start from what happened, not from panic at the end of the day.

Why people choose Trackr

  • You do billable work in scattered chunks and forget the exact start or end time.
