## About

Motivv is a Mac-focused timer for designers, developers, writers, founders, students, and anyone who wants more than an elapsed-time counter. It grades work in real time using app activity, focus blocks, and consistency, then shows a work rate score for each session.

The menu bar dashboard includes a six-month activity heatmap, streaks, per-app breakdowns, session timelines, and CSV export. Motivv runs locally without accounts or analytics servers, with optional private iCloud sync across Macs. It requires macOS 13.5 or later and is sold as a one-time purchase.
