A lot of work logs are written after the day is already gone. You remember the big call, but not the twenty small switches between code, docs, Slack, email, browser tabs, and bug fixes. Trackr gives Mac users a private local receipt of the workday so the end-of-day note is based on what happened, not a fuzzy guess.
