Freelance work usually looks clean only after you write the invoice. In the moment it is a client message, a browser tab, a repo, a doc, a call, and a timer you meant to start ten minutes ago. Trackr gives Mac freelancers a private local activity trail so invoice notes start from real activity slices instead of a guilty guess.
