Built for flow state. Not corporate surveillance.
If you’re not into surveillance, or creepy monitoring that summarizes your day for you, and you’d rather keep the simplicity of a spreadsheet or a text file, Strimu was built for you. You’re already taking notes while you work, so they might as well keep time. The day adds up on its own instead of getting rebuilt from memory at 6pm.
Frictionless Note-Taking
Type your task line naturally. Hit enter, and the previous task completes while its calculated duration locks in automatically.
Chronological Auto-Sort
Forgot an entry? Edit or add a timestamp inline. Strimu safely reorders your workspace into a clean chronological daily log.
Easy Invoicing & CSV Export
No proprietary formats or locked data. Export your logs as a straightforward CSV for spreadsheets or markdown.
Sweeping Timeline Fixes
Press ⌘K, pick a command, and it reshapes the entire day at once: closing gaps, untangling overlaps, rounding rough durations. No nudging entries one at a time.
Tailored Environment
Make your canvas yours. Adapt your setup instantly with native dark mode support, custom editor fonts, and fluid text scaling.
Just Enough Formatting
A deliberately small markdown subset: headings, bold, italic, and #tags. Nothing else. Strimu never rewrites what you typed, so your entries export exactly as they appear.
Fix mistakes instantly.
Traditional timesheet software makes editing your history a tedious chore hidden behind clunky dashboards and multi-step menus. Strimu treats your work log like a fluid text document.
If you need to tweak an entry, there is no complex interface to fight. You have total, independent control: click directly into any timestamp to change the time, or click right into the duration field to override it with your exact hours. It keeps your data simple, predictable, and entirely under your control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try Strimu before I buy it?
Absolutely. Strimu comes with a 14-day fully unlocked free trial. If you choose not to buy it after two weeks, your data stays perfectly safe: the app simply switches to a permanent read-only mode so you can still view and export your history.
Does Strimu require a recurring monthly subscription?
No. Strimu features a simple one-time purchase model for major versions. You own your application outright with zero ongoing subscriptions or locked-in cloud fees.
Will major versions get features and updates?
Yes! The plan is to keep adding features and updates to Strimu v1 until the next major release (v2).
How does the data export work?
Any session can instantly export directly into structured Markdown or a simple, standard CSV file containing Date, Time, Duration, and Task rows. It’s clean, raw data ready to be dropped straight into Excel, Numbers, or your existing invoicing workflow.
Is this a secure local time tracking app?
Completely. Strimu is built exclusively for macOS, keeping your data stored securely within your Apple ecosystem. Your entries save instantly behind the scenes, and you are always in complete control of your data. There are no mandatory external accounts or corporate data trackers scraping your notes.
