How it works
Plan it. Track it. Focus on it.
2One keystroke
Track
Type what you're doing and hit Return. Switch tasks in a click — the last one logs itself.
3As long as you need
Focus
One big timer, a notes pad, and rain on the window. Notes save onto the entry when you stop.

Today
See exactly where your day went.
A colored timeline and a tidy list show every block you tracked, by project. Resume anything with one click, and watch your daily goal ring fill up as you go.
"Jump back in" chips for your recent tasksColor-coded projects with daily totalsAdjustable daily goal, 1–12 hours
Planner
A plan you can press play on.
Lay out your day in blocks, then hit ▶ on any block to start tracking it. Boosterous quietly ticks off what actually happened, so plan and reality sit side by side.
Focus mode
One task. One timer. Your thoughts, kept.
Focus mode fills the window with a big, calm clock and a notes pad. Drop in timestamps as ideas come, and everything saves onto the session when you stop.
Menu bar
Always one click away.
Your timer lives in the Mac menu bar. Start, stop, or switch tasks from any app — the main window doesn't even need to be open.
Ambient sound
Press play on a quieter mind.
Four built-in soundscapes, tuned for deep work. No accounts, no ads — just tap and settle in. Go on, try one.
Meet Bo
Your tiny, very supportive sprout.
Bo grows a new leaf with every day you show up. It covers its eyes while you type your password, cheers when you hit your goal, and naps when the day is done.
Ready when you are
Not peeking. Promise.
Goal reached!
Day closed. Night night.
Streaks & wrap-up
End every day with a little win.
Wrap up the day for a gentle summary — what you did, where the time went, your longest stretch — then close the day and keep your streak growing.
