From Tyme to Tracked, in one import.
Tyme and Tracked share the same values: native Apple apps, no account, data on your devices. Tracked adds a pay-once lifetime option, a built-in MCP server for Claude, and a dedicated Tyme importer so your projects and history come along.
14-day free trial · import included · no account needed
Pay once if you want
Tyme is subscription-only. Tracked gives you the choice: $3.99/month, $19.99/year, or $49.99 once — lifetime, all features, all future updates.
Your time tracker speaks MCP
Tracked's built-in Model Context Protocol server lets Claude start timers, log entries, and summarize your week — alongside the Shortcuts, AppleScript, and URL-scheme automation you're used to.
A day view built for catch-up
Rebuild a forgotten day on a calendar-style lane: drag blocks, resize edges, click gaps to fill them. Plus idle detection that backdates, entry splitting, and Pomodoro.
Tracked vs. Tyme, honestly
Tyme is one of the best native time trackers on the Mac, and we say so freely. Here's where the two genuinely differ.

When Tyme is the better choice
If you need an Apple Watch app today or track mileage for client billing, Tyme has you covered and Tracked doesn't yet — the Watch app is on our roadmap, mileage is not. If neither matters to you, the import below takes five minutes.

Bring your Tyme data with you
Your Tyme data stays where it is — nothing is deleted, so you can compare both apps side by side during the trial.
- 1In Tyme, export your data (File → Export on the Mac — CSV works best; export your full date range).
- 2Install Tracked and open Settings → Import.
- 3Pick the Tyme preset and select the export file (or drag it straight onto the import window).
- 4Review the preview — projects, tasks, entries, and durations are mapped automatically — then confirm. Tracked backs up its database automatically before every import.
