Time, kept quietly.

Q: Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The download is the trial: fourteen days of the full app, no account, no card, nothing to cancel. If it hasn't earned its keep by then, delete it and your record was never anywhere but your Mac.

Q: Subscription or lifetime, which should I pick?

Same app, every feature, either way. Start with the subscription: it's the price of a coffee and cancels in one click. If Dial becomes part of your day, lifetime is one payment, every future version, and a key that keeps working offline forever.

Q: What happens when the trial ends?

Nothing is deleted and nothing is held hostage. Every entry, project and past day stays visible and exportable; only the clock pauses. Pick a plan whenever you're ready and tracking resumes exactly where it stopped.

Q: Does Dial connect to the internet?

Only if you add a calendar, and then it fetches exactly the address you typed. Nothing else, ever. No account, no analytics, no license server. Your key is verified on your Mac with math, and a lifetime key keeps working offline, forever, whatever happens to us.

Q: Is it on the App Store?

Dial ships as a notarised download and as an App Store build. The sandbox forbids the context features, so the App Store version is the tracker only. The download from this page is the whole thing.

The menu bar timer that catches the time you forgot to track, and never writes down a minute without you.

One click

Start faster than you can forget to.

Dial lives in the menu bar. Click a project to start, another to switch, ⌥⌘T from anywhere. There is no setup, no manual, nothing to learn.

Auto & idle detection

It fills in the day you forgot to track.

Calls, meetings, the quiet minutes after you step away: Dial lines them up as proposals. One key decides, and nothing enters your record without you.

Goals & focus

Gentle pressure, right where you want it.

Give a project a daily goal and watch it fill as you work. Start a focus session and the menu bar counts with you, quietly, until it is done.

Reports

Proof you can send as is.

One click turns a month of work into a clean PDF or CSV. Ready for the invoice, the client, the standup. No cleanup first.

Why Dial

It tracks. You work.

The SystemOS panel: a running timer, the Timeline view with the day's blocks, and the afternoon listed underneath

Nothing to learn

Click a project and you are tracking. Three views deep, no setup, no manual to read.

Everything else

The rest of it,
without the tour.

Lives in the menu bar. No Dock icon, no window in your way. One key brings it back from any app.
One click to start, stop or switch. Clicking a different project while one runs never asks you to stop first.
⌘1 to ⌘9. Straight to a project from anywhere in the panel, without reaching for the mouse.
Your calendar, drawn beside your work. Meetings and calls appear on the timeline as context. Never counted, never started for you.
It notices what you are in. Claude, Cursor, Figma, Slack, Linear, Notion. The app's name only, never a window title.
It asks about time away. Step away with the clock running and coming back is met with a question, never a decision.
Focus sessions. A length you mean to spend, and a sound worth hearing from the next room.
Daily and project goals. A target for the day, a ceiling for a client. Both say something when you cross them.
A day you can edit. Drag an entry, nudge a start time, undo any of it. The record is yours to correct.
Projects, folders, archive. Drag one into another. Put the finished ones away without deleting a thing.
Invoice-ready in one click. PDF for whoever is paying, CSV for whatever you keep it in. No cleanup afterwards.
Your licence works offline. Signed at checkout, checked on your Mac with maths instead of a login. No account, ever.
