DailyGrind (formerly Breww) is a minimalist time tracker for freelancers. Track hours, billable time, and earnings, and export reports to PDF — all without logins or the cloud.
Being a freelancer is challenging — managing multiple clients, projects, and deadlines can make tracking your hours feel like a job in itself. That’s exactly why I built Daily Grind: a simple time tracking app for Mac, designed to stay out of your way and just work.
Finally a time tracker that gets it! Offline-first and no subscriptions? This are exactly what freelancers need.
Straight and to the point. Like the simplicity.
Congrats on the launch!
It's super easy and nice to manage my tasks without opening the app. It's totally made for minimalists like me.
👏 Like the perfect client, simple, unobtrusive, and free to acquire. Bravo
Congratulations on launch! 🎉
Daily Grind looks like the kind of lightweight tool freelancers really need. How does it handle switching between multiple projects in a single day? Excited to try it out!
No login or cloud needed? That’s huge, tbh—so sick of syncing just to track my hours. Super clean idea, makers crushed it!
