![]() ![]() ![]() I tried that by setting the window title of Ulysses, my editor, to contain “Klokki time tracker”. On the other hand, Klokki is easier to use because, for example, you can set the timer to start only as soon as a window title meets your condition. I had to keep an eye on that and switch timers myself, which was a bit disappointing since Timing proves it can be done somehow. Since no two timers can be active simultaneously, I couldn’t switch to another app and have Klokki’s auto-tracker stop the first rule (Start when Launch Application) and engage the second one (Start when Application is active). In the first instance, the timer will keep running as long as the app is open in the second, it will stop running as soon as you switch to another app. Both rules will pause the timer if none of the rules apply (but you can set this to another value as well). The first starts the timer as soon as the app is launched, while the latter only starts timing when the app has the active window. For example, you can have a condition “Launched Application” and another one “Active Application”. Pausing the timer is set in this window as well and offers the same kind of flexibility.īecause if the way the rules work, you do need to plan ahead. And that by itself can be set to be executed immediately or only after up to 5 minutes. In a resizable dialogue window, you’ll enter rules that either start the timer or alert you to start it. Those that start when all conditions have been met.Those that start timing if any of the rules apply.The key to Klokki’s appeal is its auto-tracking system which you engage by setting up rules. But while the Timing app really is a time management system, Klokki is still a easy to use time tracker. I’d say it sits between a simple timer and the Timing app which I reviewed earlier. Klokki wouldn’t be special if it just let you manually track time, but its automatic tracking system puts it in a league of its own. That doesn’t mean you can’t track time using multiple apps or files simultaneously, though. Unlike other time trackers, you can’t have multiple timers running simultaneously. You can track time with Klokki the way most trackers do: you add a timer, enter a description, hit the play button and you’re tracking. Klokki has a beautifully designed, user-friendly interface and uses an equally user-friendly and effective tracking concept. Klokki doesn’t auto-track time that you don’t spend working on your Mac, though. And unlike Timeular, it isn’t subscription-based and works always. Unlike Timing, Klokki is meant to focus on work, not necessarily on how you spend your day, as Timing is. ![]() Klokki lives in your menubar and after you have set it up for a specific app or job category, it will work on its own. It promises rule-based automatic tracking and it delivers on that promise. Klokki is the third time tracker for the Mac that I review this year and it’s one of the best. ![]()
