About TimeScribe
TimeScribe tracks working time locally, without an account or cloud service. It can start and pause automatically based on screen activity, record time against projects with hourly rates, plan holidays and sick days, and show daily and weekly patterns.
Reports can be exported to PDF, Excel or CSV, and a deep-link API allows automation. It is also available for Windows; Mac builds come as separate Apple silicon and Intel downloads.
