For developers
Time tracking that lives where you code.
Context switching is expensive enough. Clessira tracks from the menu bar, your editor or the command line, fills the gaps when you step away, and hands you a scriptable export — without ever leaving your Mac.
Track without breaking flow
You don’t want to stop coding to press a button. Clessira runs in the menu bar and watches for idle time, so the ten minutes in the debugger and the meeting you got pulled into both get logged.
Start and stop from the VS Code extension or the CLI, or let the adaptive prompt catch what you were doing when you come back. The tracker adapts to you, not the reverse.
- Menu-bar app with adaptive idle prompts
- VS Code extension and a scriptable CLI
- Three views on today: groups, timeline, list
Your tools, your format
Paste Jira issues, Markdown or tables straight into activities — no retyping ticket numbers. Drive Clessira from AppleScript, App Intents or a local HTTP API.
Export is a small JavaScript file you own: shape CSV or any text format to match your billing, your timesheet or your standup notes. Automate the boring part.
- Paste Jira / Markdown / tables into activities
- AppleScript, App Intents and a local HTTP API
- Custom JavaScript export scripts
Local by default, private by design
Your commit history is private; your time log should be too. Clessira keeps every entry in a local file on your Mac. No account, no cloud upload, no telemetry.
Pick the storage location — local disk, iCloud, OneDrive, a NAS. Optional private iCloud sync keeps an iPhone, iPad and Watch companion in step, over your own iCloud. Made in Germany, GDPR-compliant by design.
- Data lives on your Mac, not on our server
- No telemetry, no analytics, nothing uploaded
- Free storage location: local, iCloud, OneDrive or NAS
Track your time the honest way.
A native Mac app that keeps your data on your Mac. Free on the App Store.

Is there a VS Code extension?
Yes. Start and stop tracking and switch activities from inside VS Code, and there is a scriptable CLI for everything else.
Can I automate Clessira?
Yes — via AppleScript, App Intents, the CLI or a local HTTP API. Export runs through JavaScript scripts you write, so any output format is possible.
Does my code or time data leave my Mac?
No. Everything stays in a local file you control. There is no account and no server; optional iCloud sync runs only over your own iCloud.
Is it free?
It is free on the App Store. If it ever becomes paid, it will be a one-time purchase — never a subscription.
