Overview

What it is

Chunk is a distraction-free MacOS menubar app for time blocking and task management. Plan your day one chunk at a time. No bloat, no fuss.

Intent

I need it when

Automate recurring daily schedules to reduce planning friction

Chunk's Templates and Routines feature lets users save ideal day structures and apply them automatically on selected weekdays. The app prevents duplication and allows editing templates to update all scheduled instances, eliminating manual daily setup.

Consolidate calendar events and tasks into a single planning view

Chunk syncs two-way with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, displaying external events alongside custom time blocks. Users can drag tasks from Apple Reminders or Chunk's own task lists directly onto the timeline to schedule them, creating a unified day view.

Plan using natural language with AI assistance while keeping data private

Chunk includes a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Claude Desktop. Users can describe scheduling needs in natural language, and Claude reads/writes events and tasks directly from the on-device database—no data leaves the Mac.

Track productivity patterns and time allocation across the week

Chunk's Analytics dashboard visualizes seven days of scheduled time, showing total hours, average daily hours, weekday distribution, and block-length mix. This helps users understand their planning rhythm and identify over- or under-scheduled days.

Implement time blocking to structure daily work and improve focus

Chunk provides a visual timeline interface where users drag-and-drop to create color-coded time blocks for the day or week. The menu-bar design keeps the planner one keystroke away (Cmd+/) without breaking focus, and live countdown notifications help users stay on track through each block.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires Windows, Linux, or mobile app support—Chunk is macOS-only (Apple Silicon and Intel Macs)
  • User needs cloud sync across devices—Chunk stores all data locally on-device with no cloud synchronization
  • User requires team collaboration or shared workspace features—Chunk is designed for individual planning only
  • User prefers subscription-based pricing with monthly flexibility—Chunk requires one-time upfront payment
  • User needs advanced project management or resource allocation—Chunk focuses on time blocking and task scheduling, not project workflows
