The original
Timing
A Mac time tracker that automatically logs the apps, websites and documents you use.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Timing.
RescueTime
Automatic time tracking service that records time spent in apps and websites and blocks distractions.
RescueTime also tracks apps and websites automatically and adds website blocking, but is a hosted web service storing detailed activity data on a third party.
Clockify
A time tracker and timesheet app for teams, with reports, billable rates and invoicing.
Clockify relies on timers and timesheets rather than automatic tracking, runs on web, Android and iOS, and adds billable rates and invoicing for teams.
Super Productivity
Plan tasks while tracking time and focused work sessions.
Super Productivity is free and open source and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, but tracks time manually alongside tasks rather than logging apps automatically.
Kimai
An open-source time tracker for freelancers and teams, self-hosted or used as a hosted cloud service.
Kimai is an AGPL-3.0 time tracker you can self-host, with invoices and reporting, but it uses manual time entry rather than automatic app tracking.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Timing as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
Harvest
Time tracking and invoicing software for teams and freelancers who bill clients by the hour.
Timing automatically logs apps, websites and documents on a Mac and assigns them to projects, but it is macOS only and lacks invoicing.
