Overview
Timing is a native Mac app from Timing Software GmbH in Germany that records which apps, documents and websites are in use and turns that log into time entries. It is aimed at freelancers and other individuals who account for their hours, with team features on the top plan. Tracked data stays on the Mac unless sync is switched on, and a web app covers timers on other devices. It is sold as a subscription in three plans, billed monthly or annually, after a 30-day free trial.
Our take
Pick Timing if you work on a Mac and would rather reconstruct your day from what was actually on screen than remember to start a timer. The plan question is mostly about where the hours go next: anyone who invoices from them through GrandTotal, syncs them to ClickUp or Clio, or wants a coding agent to file activities needs Connect, since the lower plans stop short of that. If your team mixes Windows and Mac machines, a cross-platform tracker is the more direct fit.

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
