Very responsive and smooth but..
This app UI is super clean, it runs very smoothly and just looks amazing. Overall setting it up was a breeze and Im happy to say that it's beautifully developed to MacOS.
After running for while I have found both pros and cons.
Pros
-Like I said this app runs so optimally and smoothly on M1 MacBook Pro. Just beautiful
-Also the interface is clean and after while I got hang of the whole software
-It gives very granular tracking for all the sites you visit and spend time. Very helpful to really follow what you have spend your time during the day
- In activities, you can simply click the url and go back to site you visited. Could be helpful in some cases.
-Overall a time tracking app which is privacy aware and runs without internet access on your Mac - Beatiful!
Cons
-Biggest drawback for me was daily notes. I hoped that typing some notes during the day or project would save for me to inspect later but no. I can follow the time tracked but not for example the tasks what I added and completed in daily notes. Very disappointing, I do not understand what is the daily notes function without ability to review them later. Also would be nice to export them later.
-Inability to export the tracked data.
-Lack of iOS app or ability to track iPhone usage thru Screen Time. As Mac user, I jump between iPhone and Mac and helpful to have both data to really get realistic view of time usage

May 9, 2024Thank you so much for your review and feedback.
Absolutely, we're looking into enhancing the notes section. It's primarily designed for jotting down your daily goals in the morning and reflecting on what you've accomplished by the evening. This helps boost both your productivity and mental well-being. It's not really intended for tracking to-do lists or logging time. To see your notes from yesterday, just go back a day in the app. However, I understand that this has not been clearly communicated in the app. As we're currently refining timeMaster in its beta stage, we are making significant improvements, including to the notes section.
We are already working on developing an export feature for timesheets, which will be available in the next version.
Integrating data from iOS and MacOS has been one of our most requested features. However, implementing this would require us to store tracking data or summaries on our server, which conflicts with timeMaster's core privacy principles. Currently, all data is encrypted and stored on your device to ensure that no one, including timeMaster staff, can access it. We are exploring solutions that align with our commitment to privacy.
Once again, thank you so much for the review. If you have any questions or further feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out.
