Memtime Automatic time tracking built for privacy

What is Memtime?

Memtime offers an automatic time tracking solution designed with user privacy as a core principle. It operates passively in the background on a user's desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), meticulously recording time spent in various programs, documents, emails, and browser tabs. Unlike many other time trackers, Memtime stores all recorded activity data exclusively offline on the user's device, ensuring that sensitive information is never uploaded to the cloud and remains inaccessible to others, including employers or Memtime itself.

The tool presents a visual timeline of the user's day, making it easy to recall activities and accurately log time spent on different projects or tasks. This detailed recall aids in recovering potentially lost billable hours and creating precise timesheets. Memtime integrates with over 100 project management and business software applications, allowing users to sync their logged time entries directly into their existing workflows, thereby saving administrative time and improving billing accuracy. It also supports calendar integrations to provide a comprehensive view of the workday.

FAQs

Can Memtime track every program?

Yes, it tracks all computer activities including every program, document, email, video call, meeting, and browser tab.
What if I have several windows open?

Memtime only records time in the window that is currently in the foreground (where you were last active with your mouse or keyboard). When you switch windows, it starts recording time for the newly active window.
How does Memtime handle local files, documents, or emails?

Memtime can read information like file names, email subjects, or browser tab titles to help you identify what project you were working on.
Who can see my tracking data?

Memtime is an offline tool. All tracking data is stored exclusively on the user's device and never on a server. No one else, including bosses, colleagues, or Memtime staff, can access it.
Can I use Memtime on multiple devices?

Yes, a user license allows installation on multiple compatible devices (Windows, macOS, Linux). However, activity data is stored locally and does not sync between devices due to the privacy-first offline storage approach.
