TrackDown
Read full descriptionHide full description
TrackDown is time tracking for project-based work. Use it with the tools you already rely on for notes, planning, or project management. Instead of moving your workflow into a large all-in-one system, TrackDown gives you a focused place to track time cleanly and export it back where your project already lives. With TrackDown you can: - track time per project with an instant-start timer - add notes to each timer entry - view duration as `hh:mm:ss`, decimal hours, and amount - set project hourly rates or mark projects as `Non-billable` - override billing values per timer when needed - export a single timer, a full day, or an entire project - archive exported timers and reopen them later if needed - manage active and archived projects separately - enable optional iCloud sync for data and settings - control running timers on iPhone with Live Activity TrackDown currently supports integrations with Bear, Notion, and Obsidian, and is designed to grow with additional integrations over time. Bear export: TrackDown writes a structured Markdown table with date, duration, hourly rate, amount, and notes back into the linked Bear note. Notion export: TrackDown creates or updates a native table directly on the linked Notion page. TrackDown supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac via Mac Catalyst. The app stays intentionally focused: track time, keep reports clean, and stay close to your existing workflow.
