## Best for

Freelancers and small teams who need billable hours without starting a timer for every task.

## Why it deserves attention

Chronoid runs in the background and logs apps, sites, and documents, then sorts them into projects and clients with rules. It detects meetings, integrates Apple Calendar and Screen Time, handles idle time, and produces dashboards, PDF reports, and invoices with billable rates. Data stays local-first, with optional iCloud sync and an MCP server for AI queries. The Lifetime licence covers three Macs with every update. The trade-off is macOS only, and automatic tracking still needs rules and review to be accurate.
