history

Project history and usage

Chronoid is a local-first macOS time tracker and productivity assistant. It records application, website, document, and project activity locally and adds reporting, focus, invoicing, and optional AI-assisted workflows.

Project history

Chronoid emerged as a native macOS automatic time-tracking and productivity application. By 2025 its public release series was adding AI-provider settings, Pomodoro and web-blocking features, productivity analysis, scheduled tracking, reports, and invoicing.

Adoption history

Chronoid targets privacy-conscious macOS users who want automatic activity records without sending their work history to a vendor cloud. Its official documentation recommends a workflow of granting macOS permissions, creating projects, and reviewing reports after collecting activity for a day or two.

How it is used

Users leave Chronoid running from the macOS menu bar to record activity automatically, classify it into projects, inspect timelines and reports, run Pomodoro sessions, block distracting websites, and export reports or invoices. Automatic tracking requires relevant macOS permissions.

Why package nerds care

Chronoid is notable among productivity casks for its local-first design: tracked activity is held in SQLite, while license keys, API keys, and other secrets are placed in macOS Keychain. This makes its storage behavior unusually explicit for an automatic time tracker.
