Orson is a planned macOS app for setting work hours, tracking selected work activity locally, and reviewing or exporting time records.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: Mac users preparing client or project time reports
Worth noticing: The page explicitly rejects hidden capture and manager dashboards; screenshots and on-device text recognition require separate consent.

Field notes

The described workflow combines scheduled work hours with optional local activity tracking, project timers, and editable time entries; users can choose what to export by client, project, and date. The page says the app will not request Slack or Teams credentials and that optional screenshots require separate consent. Its signed download and checkout are still unavailable.
