timeMaster —Supercharge your focus and productivity

At TimeMaster, we envision a future where every individual has complete mastery over their time and work habits, unlocking unparalleled productivity without sacrificing well-being. Our mission is to redefine how people interact with their workday by blending automation, artificial intelligence, and privacy-first design to reveal actionable insights on time usage and distractions.

We are building an intelligent productivity assistant that operates seamlessly in the background, empowering users to focus on what matters most while we handle the complex data tracking and analysis. With cutting-edge AI algorithms tailored for macOS, TimeMaster transforms raw activity data into meaningful recommendations that help users reclaim their time and optimize their routines in a personalized, frictionless way.

By championing privacy and delivering deeply integrated, automatic time management tools, we aspire to shape a future where technology elevates human potential—supporting smarter workflows, reducing burnout, and fostering a sustainable balance between work and life.

When we first installed TimeMaster, we were skeptical. After all, the productivity app space is crowded with time trackers that promise the world but deliver headaches. But after several weeks of testing, we're genuinely impressed by this thoughtful take on automatic time tracking.

Smart Design That Gets Out of Your Way

What immediately stands out is how TimeMaster just works. Unlike traditional time trackers that demand constant input, this one sits quietly in the background, using AI to automatically log and categorize everything from coding sessions to Zoom calls. It's like having a smart assistant who takes impeccable notes without interrupting your flow.

Privacy Done Right

In an era where data privacy feels like an afterthought, TimeMaster's approach is refreshing. All your activity data stays encrypted on your Mac, with only minimal anonymous data sent to their servers for app categorization. We appreciate how they've made privacy a feature, not a footnote.

Where It Really Shines

The real magic happens in the insights. TimeMaster doesn't just track time – it helps you understand it. The AI-generated summaries of your work patterns are surprisingly nuanced, and the distraction tracking opened our eyes to some productivity-killing habits we hadn't noticed.

Best Fit

While TimeMaster works well for anyone looking to optimize their time, it's particularly valuable for developers, freelancers, and knowledge workers who need accurate billing data or want to improve their focus habits. The automatic project tagging and detailed logs are a godsend for client work.

That said, it's currently Mac-only, which limits its reach. But for macOS users seeking a zero-effort way to understand and improve their work patterns, TimeMaster sets a new standard for what automated time tracking should be.
