Time Sink for Mac

Keep track of your Mac downtime

Time Sink helps you record how long you spend on unproductive activities on your Mac. If you’ve ever wondered where the hours disappear while you’re on your computer, this utility can pinpoint which apps and windows are consuming most of your time.

What the app records

• Visual timelines and block diagrams that show how your session is divided across activities.
• Timestamps for when applications and windows are launched and the duration of each session.
• A running log of the programs you use so you can review patterns later.

How the visuals make activity obvious

When you use a wide variety of apps during a session, the timeline appears highly segmented. If you concentrate on one or two tasks for long stretches, the chart will show large contiguous blocks representing those long sessions. Seeing these patterns at a glance makes it easier to judge how your attention is allocated.

Why this can help change habits

By presenting a clear picture of where your minutes go, Time Sink gives you perspective on your routines. The visual feedback can motivate small adjustments — for example, cutting down on frequent app switching or limiting time spent in particularly distracting programs.
