# Time tracking for Mac: A time tracker that's always in view.

> Track time on Mac from the notch. Click a task to start its timer, see it ticking in every app, and never rebuild a timesheet from memory again.

Most time trackers fail the same way: they end up behind a dozen windows, you forget to start them, and on Friday you're guessing your hours.

ctrlhq sits in your MacBook's notch instead. The running timer is always on screen, in every app and every Space. Hover the notch and today's tasks open; move away and they tuck back in.

## What you get

- **One click to start.** Click a task to start its timer and click again to stop. Switch tasks and the timer moves with you.
- **Always visible.** The current task and elapsed time sit beside the notch all day, so a running timer is never a surprise.
- **Categories and priorities.** Colour-coded categories, priorities and due dates keep the list readable when the day gets busy.
- **Plan ahead.** Park tasks for tomorrow or later and they show up on the right day.
- **Offline, on your Mac.** Everything is stored in one JSON file on your Mac. No account, no sync, no server.
- **Export any time.** Send your tracked time to CSV or JSON for invoices, timesheets or your own spreadsheets.

## How it works

1. Hover the notch to open Today.
2. Click a task to start tracking.
3. Click it again, or press ⌥⌘T from any app, to stop.

Shortcut: ⌥⌘T

## FAQ

### Does it work on Macs without a notch?

Yes. On an external display or an older Mac, ctrlhq draws its own notch at the top of your main screen.

### Can I track more than one task at once?

No, on purpose. One timer runs at a time, so your hours always add up.
