Desktop app
The macOS menubar app is the fastest way to use Accordio while you're actually working. Free with any account. The agent is one click away no matter which app you're in.
TL;DR
macOS menubar app, free with any Accordio account. Passively captures app and window activity so the AI can suggest accurate time entries. Quick chat with the agent without leaving what you're doing. Real-time sync with the web.
Install
- Download the DMG above.
- Open the DMG, drag Accordio to Applications.
- Launch, click the menubar icon, sign in.
- Grant accessibility permission so the app can read app and window titles.
Passive time tracking
Once you grant accessibility permission, the app captures which app you're using and the active document or window title. The AI uses that signal to suggest time entries you can accept or reject in batches.
Examples:
- You spent 45 min in Figma on the ABC Corp design file. Log to that project?
- You were in Linear on the X project all morning. That's 3.5 hours of billable focus.
- This block of email looks personal, not billable. Keep or discard?
Suggestions show up daily or weekly (your choice). Nothing logs without your confirmation.
Manual timer
Prefer to start and stop manually? Click the menubar icon, pick a project, hit Start. The timer runs in the menubar with the elapsed time visible. Pause and resume anytime. Switch projects without losing the entry.
Quick chat with the agent
Same agent as the web app, accessible in two clicks from anywhere on your Mac. Log time without a context switch ("log 30 min on ABC, started 10 min ago"). Quick lookups ("when is the contract with X due?"). Draft outbound ("follow-up email to Jane about the proposal"). Capture notes ("remember: client wants to delay launch to Q4").
Integrations from the menubar
Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and others directly from the menubar without opening the web app. OAuth runs in your default browser and the connection appears immediately.
Memory view
See what the agent remembers about you and each project from a sidebar tab. Edit or delete entries. Useful for correcting an outdated rate without opening the web app.
Privacy
- App and window titles are captured locally. Only summarized activity is synced. No raw screenshots, no file contents.
- Pause passive tracking anytime from the menubar.
- Mark specific apps as "always private" so they never appear in suggestions (personal email, banking apps, etc.).
- All sync uses your encrypted Accordio session. Same auth as the web app.
Updates
The app checks for updates on launch and prompts you when a new version is ready. Force-check anytime from the menubar.
