About:
Time Sink is a macOS application that automatically tracks the time you spend in front of your computer. It provides detailed logs of active application usage, helping you understand and manage your digital habits. The tool is designed to give you a clear picture of where your time goes without manual input.

Key Features:

Automatic time tracking for all applications
Detailed activity logs and historical reports
Privacy-focused: all data is stored locally on your Mac
Customizable idle detection to avoid tracking breaks
Simple, unobtrusive menu bar interface

Use Cases:

Monitoring daily computer usage for productivity analysis
Auditing time spent on specific software for billing or project management
Identifying and reducing time-wasting habits on your Mac

Alternatives:

Timing – Timing is a more feature-rich alternative with project-based tracking and automatic categorization, but it is a paid subscription service.
Activity Monitor – macOS's built-in Activity Monitor shows real-time usage but lacks historical tracking and detailed reporting.
