What TimeIvy is
TimeIvy is a macOS time tracker focused on concentration, time management, and wellness. It records active apps and websites by checking the current computer window and detects inactivity. Users can begin focus sessions immediately or schedule recurring sessions. Configurable reminders encourage breaks. During a session, a plant grows while the user remains focused and dies after opening a distracting app or website. TimeIvy classifies activity by productivity level and provides insights, progress statistics, daily focus goals, and study goals. Projects and task labels organize tracked time. The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes unlimited focus sessions, Pomodoro mode, idle detection, a distraction nudge, three plants, and a seven-day Pro trial. Pro costs 29.99 USD once and adds automatic tracking, scheduled sessions, insights, daily allowances, and unlimited plants. Activity data is stored locally, while some community data may reach the maker’s servers.
