Thyme

Thyme is a lightweight timer application for macOS that lets users measure the duration spent on individual tasks. By starting, stopping, or pausing the timer, the program records elapsed time and stores a history of sessions, eliminating the need for manual logging. The interface is designed for straightforward use, focusing on the core functionality of timing work periods.

The software retains past timing data and offers an export feature that writes the recorded information to a JSON file, facilitating further analysis or integration with other tools. In addition, Thyme can be controlled via AppleScript, providing four commands—start, stop, pause, and toggle—so users can automate timer actions from scripts or other applications.

Thyme is distributed under an MIT license and has reached a stable release, making it suitable for macOS users who need a simple, reliable way to track how much time they allocate to various activities.
