Instant-start timer
Pick a project, the timer starts. Duration as
hh:mm:ss, decimal hours, and amount are always
in view.
Time tracking for project-based work
Track time where it belongs –
Track time where it belongs –
keep projects where they are.
TrackDown is a focused time-tracking app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It works alongside the tools you already use: projects come from Bear, Notion, or Obsidian, you track time in TrackDown, and clean reports go right back to the source.
Core features
Built for time tracking – not for replacing your whole stack.
TrackDown stays intentionally focused. It is not a project tool, not a notes replacement, not a task manager. Just clean time tracking that fits into the workflow you already have.
Notes on every entry
Capture a short note on what happened during that time. It lands cleanly alongside date, duration, and amount in the export.
Flexible billing
Project-wide hourly rate, Non-billable, or a
per-timer override – whichever the work calls for.
Clean export
A single timer, a full day, or an entire project. TrackDown marks exported entries and can reopen them whenever needed.
Active & archived projects
Clearly separated views. The archived state follows the source – archiving happens where the project actually lives.
Optional iCloud sync
Local via SwiftData, or across devices with CloudKit. Toggle any time – local and cloud data are merged on enable.
Live Activity on iPhone
Pause, resume, or stop running timers straight from the lock screen or the Dynamic Island.
Grouped by day
Open timers are grouped by date automatically. A batch export can be triggered for any day.
Three platforms, one dataset
A native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad, and macOS via Mac Catalyst – with optional iCloud sync in between.
A closer look
Focused interface, clear numbers.
Three core views: running timers grouped by day, your active projects, and the project detail screen with export actions.
Timers by day
The running timer takes the top spot, stopped entries sit below – with duration, decimal hours, and amount in plain view.
Your projects
Active projects, hourly rate, and the count of open vs. exported timers at a glance. Archived projects live in a separate view.
Project in detail
Open and exported entries cleanly separated.
Export Open or Export All pushes
the report back to the project source.
How it works
Four steps from project to finished report.
TrackDown doesn't change your workflow – it slots into it. Projects stay where you maintain them, TrackDown takes care of time and export.
Turn on an integration
Connect TrackDown to Bear, Notion, or Obsidian. Multiple sources can run side by side.
Sync projects
Hit Sync and TrackDown pulls matching projects
from your tools – the archived state follows the source.
Track time
Start timers per project, add notes, and adjust duration or hourly rate whenever needed.
Export back
One entry, a full day, or an entire project. Clean table with date, duration, hourly rate, amount, and notes.
Integrations
Works with the tools you already use.
TrackDown reads projects from Bear, Notion, or Obsidian and writes reports back in the same shape.
Bear
Projects are found via a configurable hashtag (e.g.
#project). Exports are written as a Markdown
table directly into the linked Bear note.
Notion
Projects come from a selected data source. TrackDown creates or updates a native Notion table on the linked page.
Obsidian
Projects from your vault appear in TrackDown. Time entries are stored back in the corresponding project notes in the familiar format.
One focused tool, available everywhere.
