StintLaneSee where your day actually went.
StintLane sits in your Mac's menu bar and records which app you're in and what you're doing there: the file, the web page, the folder. Rules you write sort it into projects. Nothing leaves your Mac.
14-day free trial. Then $10 once, with a year of updates.
For macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Set it up once, then forget about it.
There are no timers to start. StintLane notices when you switch apps, tabs and files, and records each stretch as it happens.
-
Open StintLane
It moves into the menu bar and shows what you're doing right now and today's total.
-
Allow Accessibility
With it, StintLane can read window titles, open files and web addresses. Without it, you still get time per app.
-
Make projects
Add a rule like “file is inside ~/Code/acme” and every matching minute, past and future, lands in that project.
-
Look back
Open the timeline for any day, or the reports for a week, month or year.
Your day on a timeline
Every stretch of work in the order it happened, coloured by project, with your calendar events alongside. Zoom in to the minute or out to the whole day.
- Chronological or by app. One column for the day, or a column per app.
- Fix it in place. Select blocks to move them to another project or delete them.
- Gaps stay gaps. Idle time, sleep and a locked screen aren't counted.
Projects that fill themselves
Write a rule once and StintLane applies it to everything you've already done and everything still to come. Projects nest, so client work can be split into the pieces you bill for.
- File or folder is inside
~/Code/acme-webor website isacme.test - Window title contains
Northwind - Web address contains
github.com/lighthouse-dev - App is Mail
Reports for a day, week, month or year
Totals per project and per app, the hours you're busiest, how much of your time was focused and how often you switched. Every chart can be shown as a table.
- Focus is time spent in one app for 25 minutes or more.
- Export any period as CSV or JSON, segment by segment or as daily totals.
What was done in each app
Pick an app to see the files, folders and pages you spent time on, grouped by website or project folder.
Search everything you've worked on
Find the day you last touched a file or opened a page, then jump straight to it on the timeline.
It stays on your Mac
Your activity never leaves your Mac. Your history is a single database file in your Library folder, and you decide how long it's kept. An account is only needed to buy and manage license keys.
No keystrokes, no screenshots
StintLane records which app is in front, its window title and the file or web address. Never what you type or what's on the page.
Private windows stay private
Private and incognito browser windows are recorded only as “Private Browsing”.
Ignore what you like
Leave out apps, websites or folders entirely, or only at certain times. Password managers are ignored from the start.
Tokens stripped from addresses
Query strings and fragments are removed from web addresses before they're saved.
Work hours and pausing
Track only during the hours you set, and pause for 15 minutes, an hour or until tomorrow.
Yours to export or erase
Export everything as CSV or JSON. Delete a range of days or all of it, and it's overwritten on disk.
Try it for 14 days. Keep it for good.
Create a free account, verify your email, and your 14-day trial key is waiting for you. No sign-in needed in-app. To keep using StintLane after that, buy a license once.
