LESS ADMIN. MORE EDITING.

Stay in your
creative rhythm.

One lightweight app for the working day.
Clear context for you and your studio.

01 / SESSION

A clear start.
A clean finish.

Choose a property and editing stage, then clock in. Switch stages from your Mac’s menu bar. Clock out when you’re done. Tracking and screenshots stop when your session ends.

CLOCKED IN 00:00:01
02 / CONTEXT

The work behind
the hours.

Project stages, app time, and activity give your studio the context to spot blockers and support your workflow.

03 / VISIBILITY

A shared view
of progress.

While clocked in, the app shares a screenshot of each connected display at the start and about every 30 seconds. Your admin can review uploaded captures.

RIGHT IN YOUR MAC’S MENU BAR

Change your stage.
Stay in your edit.

Your current stage sits in the menu bar at the top of your Mac’s screen. Click it to switch from footage review to rough cut, color grade, or your next step—without opening the Studio Time window.

Update your status while working in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or any other app. Each change starts a new work segment, keeping your time connected to the right stage.

Want it farther left? Hold Command and drag the Studio Time menu-bar item to your preferred position, where macOS allows.

CLEAR BOUNDARIES, BY DESIGN

Your session starts with you.

Opening Studio Time does not start tracking. You choose when to clock in. While working, your studio can review screenshots, active app names and time, mouse movement counts, and clicks. Typed text is not recorded. Clocking out stops collection.
