timeMaster
Privacy‑first macOS app that automatically tracks, categorizes, and analyzes your computer usage to boost focus and productivity.
Introduction
timeMaster – AI‑Powered Productivity Assistant
timeMaster is a macOS‑only productivity suite that runs silently in the background, automatically logging every second you spend on apps, websites, and projects. Built with a privacy‑first mindset, all data stays local, encrypted on your device, and never leaves your machine. The app combines AI‑driven analytics with a clean UI to give you actionable insights, helping you work smarter, avoid burnout, and reclaim focus.
Key Features
- Fully Automatic Time Tracking – No manual timers. timeMaster detects active windows, categorizes activities, and tags projects in real‑time.
- AI‑Generated Summaries – After each work session, the AI creates concise, human‑readable summaries of what you accomplished.
- Privacy‑First Architecture – All data is stored locally, encrypted at rest, and only the app title is read (no content or keystrokes).
- Focus & Distraction Metrics – Visualize peak productivity hours, identify top distractions, and see a focus score for each session.
- Pomodoro Timer – Structured work‑sprint mode with post‑session analytics on focus and interruptions.
- Goal Setting & Tracking – Define daily, weekly, or monthly work‑hour goals, set limits on app usage, and receive over‑working notifications.
- Weekly & Monthly Reports – Export detailed PDFs or view interactive dashboards that break down time spent per project, app, and category.
- Project Detection – The AI automatically creates a new project when you switch contexts, eliminating manual bookkeeping.
- Quick‑View Toolbar – Glance at today’s totals directly from the macOS menu bar.
- Customizable Breaks & No‑Activity Days – Schedule automatic breaks and designate days where certain apps are blocked.
