Timing

What it is for

Timing is an automatic Mac time tracker: you open All Activities (8h), watch Office / Keynote / Word file into the timeline, and Professional is $108/yr ($9/mo). Use it when the job is hours the Mac records at a public $, not when you need Otter’s Basic free 300-min transcript only.

Soft-note: Professional / Expert / Connect ≈ $9 / $11 / $16/mo annual (monthly higher) + 30-day trial. Distinct from Granola, Fathom, and Otter.ai.

What makes it unique: the cover is Timing’s official Activities timeline (All Activities: 8h, Office / Keynote / Microsoft Word, Unified / By Category / Chronological, Acme Inc.) from timingapp.com/screens/activities_unified.png — not a wordmark. The Office 1h22m row itself is ops of Activities.

Key features

• All Activities — 8h + Unified / By Category / Chronological (cover still; activities still). One desk. Cover Office sits here.
• App/file rows — Office / Keynote / ~/Documents/Acme/Results Presentation.key / Microsoft Word (cover). Rows, not a Connect tile.
• Timeline — colored blocks (prom concert / car review / Flux capacitor…) (cover). A timeline, not a $9 meter.
• Projects rail — Private / Unassigned / Acme Inc. / MegaCorp (cover). Projects, not Get Timing.
• New Time Entry + Start Timer — toolbar (cover). Manual + timer, not Enterprise.
• Device / Filters / Search — toolbar right (cover; pricing). Filters, not SSO.

Subscribe / Start trial are CTAs (not desks). Professional / Expert / Connect $ stay in Pricing. Connect MCP / Claude / ChatGPT stays off Key features as an AI extra.

Who it's for

Best fit: Mac users who will pay Professional $9/mo annual while they review a first 8h Activities timeline — then Expert at $11 when they need a second Mac + billing, not Connect $16 first unless they need MCP / team export.

Limitations / costs

• Mac-centric native tracking. The cover is a Mac Activities window; other platforms are not the printed floor.
• An automatic timesheet, not Otter’s Basic free 300-min transcript. For that transcript see Otter.ai.
• The product is not OSS. We omit a GitHub CTA rather than invent a product repo.

Alternatives

• Granola — a bot-free meeting notepad when you want Basic $0 / Business $14, not Timing’s 8h Activities timeline.
• Fathom — a meeting recorder when you want Free $0 / Premium $16, not automatic Mac app rows.
• Otter.ai — a meeting transcript when you want Basic free 300 min / Pro $16.99, not Office 1h22m.
