I use QBserve to track my productivity on a daily basis. It has a clean UI and easy to use. I'm not using but there are some extra features such as project tracking. When I noticed student discount and asked for it, QBserve team even did not ask my student ID card. That was a fantastic reply for me. QBserve deserves more than it takes. And finally, it's a transparent product about privacy. Keep it in mind.

Pros

I'm using Qbserve over 1,5 year and it's one of my favourite apps on Mac. No monthly payments, student discount, great customer support and product updates.

Cons

No mobil app, lack of focus mode. Need some updates on statistical views.

Qbserve helped me understand when I work, how I work, as well as when I'm wasting my time being unproductive!

Pros

The best UI of any time tracking software I've used. It's extremely simple to get setup, but also has some more complex features available to use. It's also continually under development, so features are being added and improved.

Cons

The timesheet is a newer feature and there are improvements that could be made. The projects and containers are good, but aren't the easiest to setup.

Pros

Great that there was a one off payment not a subscription like a lot of other time trackers. Really nice UI too, nice use of graphics where other apps are very spreadsheet like. It gets the basic job of time tracking done completely hands off, but you can add more complexity if you want too.

Cons

The only thing missing for me was a way to log idle time, e.g when you are away from your computer in a meeting. Hopefully this will come in an update.

I have gained insight on my daily productivity. I have nipped productivity killing habits. I am better able to keep myself accountable for the amount of work I am producing.

Pros

It is private, easy to use and unobtrusive. The developers are very responsive in bringing new features, and addressing bug reports . It was the perfect tool to help me keep track of my daily browsing habits and finding other productivity killers.

Qbserve brings me clarity on hours I have spend on my Mac. I see how many hours I have worked on design, web development and how many I was distracted. I found no other tools to see this good enough. It is very valuable for me, because now I know how many hours I'm productive in the day, how many distracted. I can see all previous days of the week and the month - it helps me to find reasons why I was not productive on some days or remember what made me very productive! So it brings a lot of value when I need a realistic estimate on time I will spend on the new project. It is very useful for me and for my clients, because I can calculate more accurately how much project will cost and how long it will take to make it.

Pros

I have used over 10 various tools to track my productivity and activities on my Mac. Everyone of them had some issues. Some tracked activity really badly, some had too much additional functions and etc. And then I have found Qbserve! I was amazed by the nice User Interface and aesthetic look and feel of the App. It looks like someone did really good job to find the most needed functions and made them in the highest quality. Once app starts, you don't need any more actions to make it work - it just starts tracking activity and gives labels for each task: "distracting", "neutral", "productive". It goes very accurately. This was just what I needed and I didn't found this function working good enough on other apps. Now I'm using it for 6 months and I have no problems with it. This App is one of the best I have ever had on my Mac from any category.

\- Automated & unobtrusive way to keep track of my daily activities.

Pros

\- Highly customizable, although out-of-the-box defaults are a good start - Detects & separates different activities even inside a single app, for example, chats inside your messenger app or websites in your browser.

Cons

\- I'd prefer less colorful and more streamlined UI - Nothing to add, really, it is really that good.

More granular insight into my computer habits.

Pros

Qbserve provides me with an easy way to track my activities while on my computer. This has kept me honest with myself about how much time I actually spend working, versus playing around on the internet.

Cons

I wish that it provided a more granular amount of information into what process I was running within iterm2 so that I could disambiguate irssi from vim. Additionally, a per-git-repo breakdown would be incredibly helpful.

I work more focused.

Pros

It tracks my NET work time, and puts everything away that is distracting. In the end of the day I know exactly how much I worked and how much I f\*d around.

Cons

I was hesitant about the price, but after seeing how little that program interfered my work, and how much insights I get - it's worth 10x its price.

Pros

Really polished app. Been using it for several months now, and with the latest version (1.62), it kind of does everything you'd need as a freelancer. Automatically adding activities to projects based on rules (like the title or the path of the open document), but also being able to manually add them is a bliss. I'd say being able to manually create an activity that wasn't tracked would be the only thing missing here (think of phone calls, for example). The app also offers pretty solid invoice creation and management, with really great nice to have, like automatically pre-filling the hourly rate & contact info based on the current project's previous invoices, or keeping track of what was invoiced so far and not allowing you to add the same activity to more than one invoice It also caters to the non-professionals, with simple to categorize activities, and a beautiful Dashboard, where you can see at a glance the productive & distracting times (also as percentages), and a per-hour/day/etc graph for the currently selected period. The great developer as well, open to feedback and suggestions!

Cons

Features could be a little better organized. The user interface could be a bit more flattened (personal preference).
