What is Time Sink?

Time Sink is a comprehensive Mac application that provides users with detailed insights into how they spend their time on their computers. The app automatically logs opened windows and applications, tracking both the total runtime and the time spent actively using each item. This comprehensive data capture occurs without any user intervention, allowing for a truly set-and-forget experience The app's robust reporting capabilities enable users to view their usage patterns through customizable graphs and charts. These visualizations can be organized by date and time, showcasing logical work habits, or by total and foreground time spent, revealing which apps and windows consume the most of the user's attention To further streamline the tracking process, Time Sink offers the ability to create "pools," which are user-defined groups of associated windows. For example, a user could create a "Browsers" pool to encompass Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, allowing the app to automatically track activities within that category Additionally, the app provides flexible data export options, enabling users to manually or automatically generate reports for further analysis in spreadsheet or database programs. This versatility ensures that Time Sink's comprehensive data can be leveraged to optimize productivity and work habits
