What it is

A tiny Mac app that counts only real hours. Start a session. Your mouse has to move at least once every 3 minutes, or the time doesn't count and your screen turns red. One more minute and the session ends. Join a clan with an invite link; the admin chooses what the clan shares.

what your screen looks like after 3 minutes without moving
01

Real hours

Idle stretches are deleted, not paused. Lock your screen and the session ends. Meetings (camera or mic on) still count.

02

Leaderboard

Today and this week. Hours, top app, who is working right now. Add friends with a code, or join a clan by link.

03

Analytics

Hours per day and time per app, for you and for each friend. 7, 30 or 90 days. A weekly timeline shows your work sessions and breaks.

04

Chat + widget

A separate chat for every clan, plus chat with your friends. A tiny floating timer with a pause button follows you everywhere.

How it works

  1. 1 Paste the command above in Terminal. It downloads Grind, puts it in Applications and opens it.
  2. 2 Create your account: name, email, password. No verification, no spam.
  3. 3 Create a clan and share its invite link, or add a friend code. Press START and keep moving.
