Quarter Past, the time tracker that asks

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Mac menu-bar app that prompts you every fifteen minutes and logs the quarter-hour that just passed.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The app lives in the Mac menu bar and interrupts only at fifteen-minute intervals, logging the quarter-hour behind the prompt rather than running a timer forward. Its example record includes project and administrative work while leaving lunch or other non-work time unfilled. The site also describes a weekly comparison between intended work and recorded work, with no score applied to the difference.
