Lightweight desktop app

Track time without opening a browser

A small app that lives in your system tray and stays light on your computer. Start a timer in one click, keep tracking offline, and get a nudge when you step away.

Everything you need, one tray icon away

Syncwork runs quietly in the background, ready when you are.

    Launches on login and waits in your system tray.

  • Keeps tracking offline

    No connection needed. Entries sync when you're back online.

  • Catches idle time

    Step away and choose to keep or discard the idle time.

  • See where your time went

    Entries show the apps and files you used, stored only on your device.

We noticed no activity while your timer was running.
10:15 AM→10:42 AM
27 min idle

2 idle periods. Work between them is kept.

Track time you can stand behind

Syncwork flags the time you were away and restores your timer if your laptop dies, so your hours are accurate.

  • 1
    Idle detection that notices when you step awayIf you stop working while your timer runs, Syncwork alerts you so you don't bill time you weren't there for.
  • 2
    Keep it or discard itWhen you're back, choose to keep the idle time or discard it. Discarding splits your entry cleanly, so you can carry on without losing the rest.
  • 3
    Timer recovery after a crashIf your laptop dies or the app closes unexpectedly, your running timer is recovered the next time you open Syncwork.

  • 2
    Down to the fileApps like VS Code expand into the files you worked on, so a vague entry like “bug fixes” has the details behind it.
