Client billing gets awkward when the work was real but the timer was not. You answered one message, checked the repo, edited a doc, opened a few tabs, joined a call, then later need to explain the shape of the work without making it up. Trackr gives Mac users a private local activity trail so billing notes start from what actually happened.
