I nearly bought Timing a little while ago - but actually, I’m just experimenting with Qbserve and I have to say, I find it more intuitive/easier to use (oh, and cheaper ;-))
And having your productivity constantly measured in percent on your menu bar is a real incentive to get on and Finish Your Homework! That’s a very neat feature!
What a great little find! Thanks very much!

I too did not know about Qbserve, so many thanks for the suggestion.
And BTW, to clear up a possible confusion in the thread so far, especially for later readers: for the Mac there’s a Timings app (https://mediaatelier.com/Timings3/) and there’s a Timing app (https://timingapp.com), and the two are different. If it’s any help, I’ve used both, and I think most of the references in this thread are to the Timing (no “s”) app (which I personally somewhat prefer).

I have been following both Timing and Observe. You will be surprised how the current version of Timing just copied Qbserve. I was taken back when the new version of Timing appeared.
As for the price, isn’t Timing in the setup package? That might make it cheaper than Qbserve.
But, I love Qbserve. It has been with me for ages.
It also sends a shell script to turn of the display in case I have been distracted for a longer time: nice trick.
It also can trigger Focus and Freedom apps to bring you back to your focus by turning off the Internet and shutting down browsers.
Here is one of my scripts to turn of the display if I have been unproductive for more than 40 minutes.

Hi,
Daniel here, the creator of Timing. I just wanted to point out that Timing has been around for much longer than Qbserve. Dellu, how would you say that Timing 2 copied Qbserve? For example, Timing 2’s timeline and manual tracking features appeared in Timing 2 _before_ they showed up in Qbserve. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
In addition to that, I’m of course happy to answer any questions you guys might have and/or help you with using Timing. You can also reach out to me directly via https://timingapp.com/contact.
Best,
Daniel Alm
