Common Questions

We've got you covered. Quick answers to help you get started.

What is Chronode?

Chronode is a macOS menu bar application that automatically tracks time spent in your applications and projects (where supported). It monitors which apps you use and for how long, building an accurate picture of your computer usage without any manual input.

What are the system requirements?

Chronode requires macOS 14.6+ (Sonoma) or later and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The app uses less than 50MB of disk space and runs at an average of 1% CPU usage with less than 50MB of memory during normal operation. No internet connection is required.

How much does Chronode cost?

Chronode basic is free. Chronode Pro is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates included. No subscriptions, no recurring fees. This makes Chronode more cost effective than subscription based time trackers.

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored locally on your Mac using Apple's native database framework. Nothing is sent to the cloud, synced to external servers, or shared with third parties. No account is required. Your time tracking data exists only on your computer, under your complete control.

Does Chronode collect any data about me?

No. Chronode has zero telemetry, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. Your usage data never leaves your Mac. There are no background network connections, no automated crash reporting services, and no usage statistics sent to developers. What happens on your Mac stays on your Mac.

Which applications can Chronode track?

Chronode can monitor any macOS application you choose. Intelligent project detection is available for the supported applications displayed when adding an app. We intend to add additional project/file detection support for commonly used apps in the near future.

Does Chronode work automatically?

Yes. Once you've added apps to monitor, Chronode tracks time automatically from the moment you launch an application until you quit it. There are no timers to remember to start, no buttons to click when switching tasks, and no logs to fill out at the end of the day.

Simply use your computer as you normally would, and Chronode quietly records everything in the background. The app handles all the tracking mechanics so you can focus entirely on your work without interruptions.

What reporting does Chronode provide?

Out of the box, Chronode provides comprehensive visual analytics to help you understand your time usage patterns. See which days you're most productive, identify your peak working hours, and visualize how time is distributed across different projects and applications.

Track your work consistency over time with intuitive graphs and visualizations that update in real-time as you work. Whether you're analyzing session lengths, spotting weekly trends, or reviewing your activity patterns, Chronode gives you the insights you need to optimize your workflow without complex settings.
