TimeIvy
What TimeIvy is
TimeIvy is a macOS app for tracking computer activity while supporting focus, time management, and wellness. It checks the active computer window to record apps and websites in use and detects inactivity. Users can start focus sessions immediately or schedule recurring sessions, with configurable break reminders. During a session, a plant grows while focus continues and dies after a distracting app or website is opened. The app classifies activity by productivity level and provides insights, progress statistics, daily focus goals, and study goals. Projects, tasks, and labels organize tracked time. The Free plan includes unlimited focus sessions, Pomodoro mode, idle detection, a distraction nudge, three plants, and a seven-day Pro trial. Pro adds automatic tracking, scheduled sessions, insights, daily allowances, and unlimited plants. Pro is listed at $29.99 once, while pricing also says paid plans start from $69.
