Track your hours.
Week over week.
Plum is a small, quiet timekeeper for how your week actually went. One ring for today, five for the week, and a chart of the last two months. Your data lives on your machine — no accounts, no cloud, no third parties.
Free · macOS 12 and later
Features
A serious record with a light touch
Plum is designed to reward the healthy thing: fill the day, keep the week steady, then close the window. Nothing about it wants your attention past that.
A daily ring, not a stopwatch
Log in the size of hours you actually think in — half an hour, an hour, two. Watch the ring fill toward your goal. Click any segment to bump it up, down, or off.
Weekly goals per project
Set a target for each project — say, 10h of client work — and Plum keeps a running tally of hit weeks and misses so you can see the shape of your habit over time.
Streaks that forgive weekends
Mon–Fri rings with a running streak of complete days. Weekends are skipped rather than counted against you — because they're for you, not the log.
Two months at a glance
A stacked-bar trajectory of the last eight weeks so you can see the shape of your work — the busy stretches and the slow ones — without doing math.
Yours, on your machine
One SQLite file at your OS's user-data path. Back it up by copying that file. Uninstalling Plum leaves the file where it is.
No accounts. No sync. No plans.
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to upgrade. Plum is small on purpose.
Local-first
Where your data lives
A single SQLite file at your OS's user-data path. To back it up, copy that file somewhere. To move to a new machine, copy it back. Uninstalling Plum leaves the file where it is, as a safety net.
If you used the app under its previous name (Work Tracker), Plum migrates your database automatically the first time it launches.
