A paid Mac app that brings tasks, timers, focus tools, and utilities into the laptop’s notch.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: Mac users who work primarily at their laptops
Worth noticing: The site says work data stays in one local JSON file, with CSV export and no cloud sync or telemetry.

Field notes

The page illustrates task capture with ⌘⇧Space and timer control with ⌥⌘T, including a prompt to review tracked time after returning from a break. Its feature menu also spans screen recording, on-device meeting notes, disk cleanup, and a teleprompter. The site says data stays on the Mac in a JSON file that can be exported to CSV; those privacy and storage details are presented as product claims.
