Desktop Task Timer vs Qbserve

There is a cheaper light version available for those that don't need the full functionality of the app or would like to try it out without spending the more money on the more expensive version.

Users can export CSV files from the app to use for billing, etc. Though this does require the non light version.

Due to the app having no cloud sync there is no need to have an internet connection for the app to run. Everything it does is local to the device.

While not necessarily the easiest of options (really more a work around to the apps limited functionality) users can sync the apps files to a shared folder or cloud storage folder in order to have sync'd time across Mac's.

It's possible to generate PDFs with invoices based on tracked project time or create ones from scratch.

Qbserve categorizes project time automatically based on opened documents and web pages.

The dock icon will change color depending on what you are currently doing, acting as a reminder to get back to work when you've become distracted. You can also set goals, and in the status bar you will see a percentage of how close you are to your daily goal.

There are over 7500 apps/sites/games in the database which provides lots of data for more accurate tracking.

Qbserve can determine the difference between productive and distractive activities. It doesn't use a static algorithm either - it will read content page-by-page to determine whether or not it is productive or not. this allows certain chats to count as work, and other chats to not count, even if you are using the same chat service for both.
