Happy Tracker for Mac

Time tracking with screenshots and activity scores, plus a sprint board and invoices

Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. Universal build — runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs a Happy Tracker account; free for up to 5 users and 3 projects, paid plans from Rs 499 per user per year with no auto-renewal.

Happy Tracker is a time tracker for teams that want to know where the work

actually went — not just how many hours were logged.

The desktop tracker sits in your menu bar or system tray. You clock in, pick

the project and the task you are on, and it runs in the background. While it

runs it records the time, takes periodic screenshots, and builds a per-activity

breakdown of what the machine was actually used for, so a day comes back as

"4h 0m active, 56% productive, broken down by app and by task" instead of a

single number someone typed in from memory.

Everything lands in the same workspace as the rest of the work. The project

board runs sprints in kanban columns; each task carries its own comments,

attachments and time. Timesheets fill themselves from tracked time and go for

approval. Attendance and time off live alongside them. Reports compare the team

on attendance, screen focus and activity, scored the same way for everyone.

Billable time turns into an invoice you can download as a PDF.

It is honest about what it is. Members can see their own tracked time and their

own screenshots. There is no hidden mode, no stealth install and no location

tracking. Admins choose whether people may clock in from a web browser or only

from the desktop tracker, and screenshots and retention are set per plan, so

old captures age out instead of piling up forever.

Native builds for all three desktops — Swift on Mac, WPF on Windows, and a

Linux build that handles Wayland's screen-capture permission properly — plus a

web app for anyone who only needs to clock in and out.
