Super simple way to keep track of time spent on task
Being a freelancer is challenging — managing multiple clients, projects, and deadlines can make tracking your hours feel like a job in itself. That’s exactly why I built Daily Grind: a simple time tracking app for Mac, designed to stay out of your way and just work.
Daily Grind lives in the Mac menu bar for one-click access, requires no login or cloud setup, stores all data locally offline, and provides a minimal interface without dashboards or bloat
The app automatically exports PDF invoices per client with VAT support in multiple currencies, eliminating manual invoice creation and reducing billing errors
Daily Grind allows freelancers to organize work by client and task, set hourly rates per client, track multiple currencies with automatic conversion, and view real-time earnings per client, rate, and currency in one dashboard view
The app operates entirely offline with no accounts required, no internet dependency, and all data stays on the user's device under their control with no data collection by the developer
Daily Grind supports running a timer, manual hour entry, and editing past days to accommodate freelancers whose work patterns don't fit strict real-time tracking
