Operational dependency warning

Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Brevo, Cloudflare, Google, Twilio SendGrid. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.

Timing is a German time tracking app for macOS. The native Mac app records in great detail what you spend time on, and it makes it easy to assign the time spent in applications to the right projects afterwards.

Because the tracking happens on your own Mac and the company is German, it is a European alternative to US time trackers for people who want detailed records without sending everything to a US service. It suits Mac based freelancers and consultants who bill for their time.

Pricing

Pricing starts at EUR 7.90 per month, or EUR 5.90 per month billed yearly.
