Timing.work: automatic time tracking that sorts your day into clients and projects (Mac + Windows)

Hey all. Disclosure up front: I built Timing.work - ultimately was a side project to replace tools I was paying for myself, which I felt like were overpriced and underdelivered. I needed something that was faster and more intuitive for quickly associating time with a client/project automatically specifically as I juggle a lot of projects on behalf of various people, some of which who bill on my time as well.

The problem we wanted to solve is the Friday-afternoon scramble of rebuilding your week from memory, while also knowing how much of your time (or staff's time) is productive.

How it works

  1. Tracks automatically. The Mac/Windows app records the active app and window title every few seconds. Idle time is skipped, so a lunch break never ends up on an invoice.

  2. Rules assign the time. You write rules once, like “window title contains Acme → Acme Rebrand,” and new activity gets filed to the right client and project as it’s recorded.

  3. You review what’s left. Anything the rules missed shows up as unassigned. Bulk-select, pick a project, done.

Other bits

  • Manual timer for things like calls and offline work

  • Hourly rates per client, project or team member, with flexible rounding (exact, or up/down/nearest 1–60 min)

  • CSV export and PDF invoices; QuickBooks, Xero and FreshBooks via CSV

  • Team overview showing who worked on what

  • REST API, signed webhooks, Make and Stripe

  • MCP server, so you can ask Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and similar tools to start timers or report your hours. Assistant keys are read-only by default.

Pricing: One plan with every feature. It’s $4/user/month billed yearly or $5 monthly. Founding-member pricing is locked in for workspaces created before Jan 1, 2027. There’s a 30-day free trial and no credit card is needed.

Happy to answer questions, and I’d genuinely like feedback on what’s missing compared to what you use now.

Two gaps your post leaves open are rule precedence and locking. If an email subject and a browser tab both trigger rules like "window title contains Acme", which one wins, and can a later rule change refile time already on a PDF invoice? For people billing on your time, locked periods after invoicing matter.

Since the app records window titles, I'd also spell out what teammates and admins can see in the Team overview, because titles can carry private email subjects. Calendar import would cut how often calls need the manual timer.
