Our verdict on Timing
Timing is automatic time-tracking software for macOS, with web access and iPhone and iPad Screen Time import. It records applications, documents, websites, and other activity, then organizes that information into timelines, projects, reports, and productivity statistics. Individuals, freelancers, and teams can also create manual entries, assign activity with rules, and report billable time. Its focus is detailed activity records and productivity insight rather than parental controls or device restrictions.
The published plans are Professional, Expert, and Connect, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Professional is for individuals tracking their time on one Mac, with basic reports and limited web app access. Expert supports one person across two Macs and adds customizable reports, full web app access, and AI activity summaries. Connect is designed for AI-powered workflows and teams, covering three Macs per user and adding team collaboration, full web app access, a Web API, and Zapier. This progression makes the plan choice depend mainly on device coverage, reporting depth, web access, and collaboration needs.
Timing’s ecosystem supports Calendar, Apple Reminders, ClickUp, Linear, Clio, GrandTotal, Zapier, Web API, AppleScript, and iOS Screen Time. Reports can be exported in Excel, CSV, PDF, HTML, and JSON, while web-based timers and team time reporting extend its use beyond automatic Mac activity capture. History retention is unlimited, and the product includes meeting detection, call tracking, and calendar integrations. Choose Timing when detailed Mac activity tracking and reporting matter; choose another category of tool when the priority is enforcing app limits, scheduled limits, or device restrictions.
