Daily shows what you have been doing and for how long. It tracks your time by periodically asking what you are doing instead of requiring you to toggle timers when switching tasks. Use resulting timesheets to submit your hours, create invoices, or increase productivity.
Daily tracks your time by periodically asking what you are working on. This means you don’t need to manually start or stop timers when switching tasks. Since everyone forgets to do this sometimes, timesheets often end up inaccurate and billable hours get lost on invoices. With Daily, you’ll never miss tracking a single billable hour. The regular prompts also help you stay focused, as they serve as gentle reminders to return to your intended task and avoid procrastination.
Unlike automatic time trackers that monitor the apps you use, websites you visit, and documents you work on, Daily doesn’t track any of that, making it privacy-friendly. You also don’t need to waste time reviewing or fixing automatically assigned projects and tasks.
View accurate timesheets by day, week, month, or year, grouped by category, project, or customer. Use them to create invoices, report hours, or improve efficiency by understanding how you spend your time. You can also see when you started and stopped working.
Make Daily fit your schedule. Use the built-in scheduler to set when tracking should run on each day of the week. You can pause tracking at any time, or let Daily track silently for a set period to avoid prompts when you don’t want interruptions.
Integrate Daily with other apps using the web API or Zapier. Export your data to CSV, JSON, or PDF, or automate workflows using AppleScript. Automatically import activities from your to-do app or issue tracker, export time entries to invoicing software for fast and accurate billing, and report hours directly to project management, issue tracking, or CRM systems.
Daily is easy to use yet fully customizable to fit your workflow. It looks great in both light and dark mode. System-wide keyboard shortcuts let you access Daily from any app, while iCloud keeps your data seamlessly in sync across all your devices — including the iOS app, so you can view and edit timesheets even when you’re away from your Mac.
Daily is available on the Mac App Store and can be tried for free for 7 days. After that, a license can be obtained for $29.99 per year. Alternatively, a lifetime license can be purchased for $59.99. Daily is also available on SetApp.
Daily is developed by Niels Mouthaan, fulltime indie software developer.
Years ago, I worked as an iOS developer at a digital agency. Every Friday, I had to submit my hours for the week. To estimate them, I pieced together emails, checked commits, and recalled meetings. Like many, I found the process tedious, yet it was essential for invoicing and budgeting.
