Track Your Work & Journal Your Day with Automatic AI Time Tracking
Most people lose track of where their day goes. Didon is an AI-powered automatic time tracker for macOS that quietly runs in the background and turns your daily activity into a clear, structured work journal — without manual timers or constant check-ins.
Automatic Time Tracking
Traditional trackers rely on you remembering to hit start and stop. Didon observes what you're doing and logs time automatically — whether you're writing code, drafting a proposal, or working in a spreadsheet.
Context, Not Just App Names
Most tools tell you "3 hours in Chrome" — that's not useful. Didon uses lightweight AI analysis to understand what you're actually working on, then maps activity to your projects and goals.
Daily Summaries & Privacy
Didon generates clean daily reports and surfaces weekly trends — peak hours, productive days, and time drains. Everything runs on-device, so your screen activity never touches a server. If you want those insights to actually change your behavior, Didon's upcoming AI productivity coach will hold you accountable for acting on them.
