Description

Build Mode is a native Mac focus app that turns focused work into progress you can see clearly. Start a session with one shortcut, follow the timer in your MacBook notch, and watch your active hours add up across days, weeks, and years. It organizes time by category, removes idle time, tracks long-term goals, and creates weekly reflections and shareable Build Cards. No screenshots, keystrokes, or browser history are recorded. Your data stays on your Mac, with no account or subscription required.
