Track a Mac app
How much time do you spend in Xcode?
Focus Meter tracks Xcode automatically, privately, and at the level of detail that actually answers the question.
What the data usually looks like
iOS and Mac developers often split their day between Xcode, the Simulator, and documentation — Focus Meter makes that split visible.
Why it matters
Xcode sessions are long, but “Xcode is frontmost” and “you’re writing Swift” aren’t the same thing. Pairing Xcode time with idle detection (Focus Meter uses HIDIdleTime) gives you a more honest number.
How Focus Meter tracks Xcode
Focus Meter detects Xcode as productive by default. Idle periods (Xcode open but you’re on lunch) are automatically excluded.
Default category in Focus Meter: productive. You can change this any time.
Who this is for
Apple-platform developers building iOS, macOS, watchOS, or visionOS apps.
