How it works

Three steps. Then nothing.

Set it once and forget it’s there. DeskTrack runs quietly in your menu bar and does the noticing for you.

Step01
Screen Recording
DeskTrack

Grant one permission

Screen Recording — that’s it. No OAuth, no Slack or calendar hookups to wire up.

Step02
reading screen…

It watches your screen

A local pass reads the screen only when it meaningfully changes, then discards it.

Step03
Focus today87%
Timeline

Get your day back

A timeline, focus score, spotted tasks, and an evening digest of your day.

What you get

Your workday, finally legible.

Not another app-name timer. DeskTrack understands what’s on screen — so it knows what you were actually doing.

Privacy by architecture

Your screen never leaves your Mac.

Most trackers are a privacy bargain. DeskTrack isn’t — because the data has nowhere to go. Local-first by design, not by promise.

Analyzed, then gone

The screenshot is read for meaning and immediately discarded — only a short text summary is ever kept.

No account, no telemetry

One permission. No sign-up, no login, no tracking. The activity log lives in a folder on your Mac.

You hold the kill switch

Exclude any app or window by name. Pause anytime. Delete everything with one click.

v0.2.0 · free

Download DeskTrack, grant one permission, and by tonight you’ll know exactly where your time went.
