A passive Mac alternative to Toggl Track when timers keep getting missed

Toggl Track is useful when you already know the project, client, and task before you start. Trackr is for the other kind of day: the one where you jump between code, docs, calls, Slack, browser tabs, and only later need a receipt of what happened.
