Meter tracks your time automatically — no timers, no manual entry. Every billable minute turns into a number in your menu bar.
macOS 13+·Apple Silicon & Intel·No subscription
Meter watches which app is in focus and logs every switch. Open your Mac and it starts. Close a session and it stops. No timers, no manual input, nothing to remember.
Set an hourly rate per project, or one global rate. The moment you start working, the number starts climbing. It's in the menu bar, always visible, always current.
Pick a project, set a date range, and Meter builds the invoice. Line items, totals, your details — already filled in. Open it in your browser and print to PDF.

Streaks, personal bests, a 16-week activity heatmap. Not to gamify your work — just to make patterns visible.
Minimal Dark for focus. Editorial for warmth. Thermal if you want something different. Switch any time in Settings.
After purchase, Gumroad sends your unique download link instantly by email.
Completely automatic. Meter watches which app is in focus and logs it silently. There are no timers to start, no projects to switch between manually — just open your Mac and work.
No. All time-tracking data is stored locally in a SQLite database on your machine. The only outbound request is the optional weekly email digest, which you can disable entirely.
You create projects and assign apps or domains to them. When Meter detects Figma is in focus, for example, it logs time against whichever project owns Figma. You can also tag time manually afterwards.
Meter requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with no Rosetta translation needed on M-series chips.
Never. £29 is a single, one-time payment. You get every future update to the version you bought at no extra cost. No annual renewals, no paywalled features.
Yes. Select a project, choose a date range, and Meter generates a clean PDF invoice with your rates, totals, and company details pre-filled. Export it directly to your client.
