When the day changes plans
An interruption does not have to lose your place.
Pause your current session and start another project. Tempo records that interruption separately. When it ends, your original session returns paused, ready for you to resume.

A timer you control
Start, pause, resume and end. Returning to Home pauses the session; time spent paused is excluded.
A record you can correct
Edit session notes and correct the latest completed session’s start and finish date and time.
Projects that stay manageable
Rename projects, archive finished work and restore it later. Archived projects retain their recorded sessions.

Before you get started
Can I download Tempo now?
Not yet. Desktop tests still need to be completed and Mac App Store submission is being prepared. This page will link to the listing when it is live. There is no confirmed release date.
Does Tempo track my activity automatically?
No. You start and stop sessions yourself. Tempo does not record which apps or websites you use. It currently has no idle detection, reminders or Pomodoro countdown.
Can I sync across devices or use Tempo with a team?
Tempo currently keeps a personal record on one computer. Cloud sync, shared workspaces, invoicing and mobile apps are not part of the current product.
Why choose Tempo when other trackers have free plans?
Toggl Track and Clockify offer capable free plans. Choose Tempo for deliberate tracking and a record of what you accomplished: session notes and a clear way to handle interruptions, kept locally without an account. Review time and notes together, then export your record as CSV, Markdown or JSON for your own tools.
What will Tempo cost?
Tempo will cost €4.99 at launch as a one-time purchase. No subscription.
Which languages does it support?
Tempo uses German with a German system language and English otherwise. It follows your system appearance automatically.
