Qbserve
Qbserve is an automatic time tracker application for Mac that monitors what you spend your time on. While tracking, the software provides continuous information on your productivity to help you create better work habits and remain focused. You can also access your productivity analytics through detailed daily, weekly or monthly reports. Qbserve automatically starts tracking your activity while you use your Mac without you having to remember to push a start button. You can also have the software keep track of how many work hours you logged and make invoices for clients based on the data. Once Qbserve logs your data, it stays locally in your Mac ensuring your private information stays secure. Review: Qbserve is a well-designed time tracker software that helps you monitor your activity while working on your Mac, and analyze your productivity. Compared to other Mac time trackers, Qbserve is more affordable and also keeps all information stored locally in your Mac to make sure your information is secure. Not only does Qbserve track which apps you use, the software can also track what you do in each app. For example, it keeps a record of who you chatted to on Slack, and which websites you visited on your browser. After tracking this data, the software automatically labels each activity within each app as Distractive, Neutral or Productive. You can customize these labels by changing the category of certain activities to ensure that the productivity reports are accurate. Once the Qbserve software has recorded your activity, you can see your productivity progress on the menu bar or the dock. The menu bar displays the percent of time that you have been productive today, and the dock app changes color based on which category of productivity you fall in. If you do not want to constantly see these icons, you can easily disable them on your Mac. After recording data, Qbserve does not send the information to other devices or other locations. This keeps all of your activity data secure, but does not allow you to sync your data over multiple devices.
