  • Record a task, then sort out what belonged. Press the red dot on a task (in the list or its details), or Start in the new Focus tab. QWER asks how long you'd like to spend: 25 minutes to start with, quick choices of 25, 30 and 50 minutes or 1 hour, or any number of minutes or hours. Everything you do counts toward the task until you stop. Only one task records at a time.
  • The Focus tab is a calm, Pomodoro-style timer: the task, a ring counting down your time, and what you've used so far. Going past your time is fine: the ring keeps going in a lighter color and suggests a break. After you stop, it shows where the task stands and the session you just recorded, ready to sort.
  • Review a session when you stop. You see the session in time order and a card per app (as Momentum's Apps list names them), each with a picture from the session (the magnifier opens it full size). Uncheck what wasn't part of the work and its time comes off the task. Unchecked apps move to a short "Not part of the work" list, where a click brings one back. "+ Resource" keeps an app or site as one of the task's resources.
  • Reviewed sessions are marked. A task's Recorded sessions show "✓ Reviewed" once you've reviewed one, and "Mark as not reviewed" sets it back.
  • Task time counts as productive. Time that counts toward a task is at least Productive in your score and Momentum, even in an app that's normally Neutral (like email for a task). Very productive time stays Very productive.
  • Your other Macs in the day strip. The time-lapse's day strip shows when your other Macs were in use, in grey, with their names underneath. Hover a grey stretch for which Mac and what was used.
  • Today only, on TaskScape too. The list's Today filter also hides the other circles, and each of today's tasks gets a label beside its circle with its due time and progress. Labels don't overlap.
  • The list's color dot is gone; it looked like the recording dot.

Which Macs: QWER works on Macs running macOS 12 Monterey or later, with Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later) or an Intel processor. Download the file for yours: …-arm64.dmg for Apple silicon, …-x64.dmg for Intel. To check, open the Apple menu → About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple silicon, "Processor: … Intel" means Intel. Tested on macOS 14 Sonoma (Apple silicon; the Intel version was tested there too, through Rosetta).

QWER isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first time you open it you may need System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. It needs Screen Recording permission to capture your screen.

QWER is in testing, so versions start with 0 until its public release. Versions 0.1.0 to 0.1.9 were shared as 1.0.0 to 1.0.9.
