Idle detection
Idle detection that asks instead of guessing
Left a timer running and walked away? After ten minutes without keyboard or mouse input, Hourtick waits for you to come back and asks: remove the idle time and keep going, remove it and stop, or keep it.
Summarize with your AI
How it works
- Hourtick checks macOS idle time only while a timer is running.
- After 10 minutes idle it remembers when you left.
- When you return, the popover shows how long you were away.
- Choose what to do with that time.
Private
Hourtick reads only the system's idle time counter. No screenshots, apps or keystrokes are recorded.
