About Chronoid

Chronoid is automatic time tracking for macOS aimed squarely at freelancers who bill by the hour and who lose money to the gap between work done and time recorded. The premise is that manual timers fail in exactly the situation they are needed most — you forget to start one, you forget to stop one, and at invoicing time you reconstruct the week from memory and undercount. Chronoid instead captures every minute of activity automatically and assigns it to the right client without a timer being started, so tracked time converts directly into accurate invoices. Everything runs locally and privately on the machine. The AI-relevant feature, and the reason it belongs in this catalogue rather than a generic productivity list, is that Chronoid ships an MCP server on its Personal tier and above, which lets an AI assistant query your tracked time directly — asking how many hours went to a client this month, or generating an invoice summary, without exporting a CSV first. iCloud sync carries data across Macs on the same tiers. The commercial posture is one-time pricing, and the site argues it explicitly with a three-year cost comparison against Toggl Track, Timing and RescueTime. It has 500-plus paying customers, a 30-day refund guarantee and an education discount.
