Focen

What it does

Focen runs silently in your menu bar and figures out when you're working. After some activity in your work apps, it starts tracking a session automatically. When you drift to Instagram, YouTube, or a game, it gives you a grace period, then closes the tab and brings you back. If you've been working for 90 minutes straight, it locks your screen for 5 minutes and makes you take a real break. Everything stays on your computer. Just a dot in your menu bar that pays attention so you don't have to.

I then tried some time management tools online but they were geared towards enterprises than individuals. Plus, had too many features. So, last weekend I created https://www.timemygrind.com/ - a simple focus time tracking tool that requires no login, no internet and has no ads. Once you finish your work, it shows the times in the table below. I usually pause when I take a break or go out for…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
