## About

Timecard tracks how time is spent across Mac apps and websites, including the individual sites used in a browser. It keeps activity history locally, creates an evening timecard, and offers daily limits with menu bar notifications and blocking when a limit is reached.

The app also tracks usage from AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and others. On-device summaries, yearly Wrapped reports, Apple Intelligence queries and an MCP server let users explore their history privately from the Mac.
