Timex has had a range picker since 1.0. Last 7, Last 30, This week, This month. I gave you the controls to look at a week, then left a timeline underneath that only ever drew one day.

Pick “Last 7 days” and you got correct totals above a chart that quietly showed you Monday. The numbers were right. The picture was missing. Nobody reviews their work one day at a time, and I had built a tool that acted like they did.

Timex 1.4.1 draws the rest of the week. It also fixes the small movements and wrong moments that made the window harder to trust than the record inside it.

A week should look like a week

Any range longer than a day now draws one bar per day, stacked in your category colors. Last 7, Last 30, This week, This month, or your own Start–End range from the calendar: the chart covers what you selected. Today and Yesterday still give you the day.

These are the same categories and rules that drive the Focus Score, with the same colors. A heavy Tuesday and a scattered Friday are one glance apart. There's no second set of definitions to maintain for the weekly report. The categories are yours to edit, and the score still runs locally from weights you set between −100% and +100%, mapped to 0–100 with 50 neutral.

A dashed line marks your daily average across the days you actually worked. Days without work don't dilute it into a smaller number. Hover a day and you get its total, its Focus Score, and the top three categories underneath. Enough to remember what sort of Tuesday it was before opening it.

One line, no judgment

Under the range total there's now a line of ordinary grey text: “1h 20m more than the previous 7 days”. It answers the next question after the total without turning the answer into a dashboard of its own.

The comparison is like for like. At 2pm on Wednesday, This week is compared against the same elapsed span of the previous week. You're not putting half a week beside a full one and calling the difference a trend. A comparison that flatters or scolds you on a technicality is worse than no comparison; you have to undo its arithmetic in your head before it tells you anything.

The grey is deliberate. This is the same stance as the Focus Score: a record, not a verdict. More time might mean a demanding client, or a task that wouldn't end. Less might mean you finished. Timex doesn't know. Nothing turns red, nothing congratulates you. I want the difference available, without pretending I know what it means for your life.

From the week to the minute

Click a day in the chart and its 24-hour timeline opens underneath. The week stays there while you look into the afternoon that made one bar taller than the others.

Every existing gesture still works. Drag to select hours. Click a bar to isolate an app. Right-click a window title to make a rule. The weekly view gets you to the right day; the timeline lets you work through what happened there, down to the minutes you were trying to account for.

Command-Left and Command-Right, along with the chevrons in the header, now page by the length of the range you're looking at. A week at a time on a week, a month at a time on a month. Choosing a wider view shouldn't leave you pressing the same key seven times to move it.

The window should sit still

I ran a systematic audit of the interface and fixed what it found. This is the unglamorous half of 1.4.1, and it deserves more than “various improvements” in a release note. These were small defects you could feel every time you used the app.

The window used to shift ten points every five seconds. A background refresh showed the loading bar meant for range switches, and that bar was inserted into the layout. The whole page nudged down and back while you read it. Refreshes are silent now, and the indicator's space is reserved so a real range switch doesn't move the page either.

Overlapping refreshes could let an old query finish after a new one. For a moment, last week's totals sat under this week's heading. Every load now carries a generation stamp. A stale result is discarded instead of drawn. The heading and the numbers have to describe the same request.

Timeline tooltips in the week drill-down could describe a bar that wasn't on screen. The hit-testing now considers only what's actually drawn. If a tooltip tells you about a segment, that segment belongs to the view under your cursor.

A fast Shift-click on a bar sometimes replaced your app filter instead of adding to it. I was reading the modifier key when the mouse came up rather than when it went down. It now uses the key state from the start of the click, so releasing Shift quickly doesn't change what you asked for.

The header controls used to slide sideways when the total ticked from “59m” to “1h”. The top-app chips shuffled under the cursor once a minute. Those widths are reserved now. Reading a growing total shouldn't mean chasing the control next to it.

Opening the menu-bar popover told you that you were using Timex, because opening it made Timex the frontmost app. It now shows what you were doing before you clicked. You opened the popover to check your work; reporting the act of checking wasn't helpful.

None of this is a feature. All of it is the difference between a tool you trust and one you tolerate.

What the chart can't give you

There's still no document-level tracking, no iPhone companion, and no cloud sync of any kind. Per-website history only exists from the day you installed. If you need one automatic record across your phone and computer, this is not that product.

The week view can only draw what was recorded. A week you spent away from the Mac looks empty, as it should. A wider chart can't recover a week it never saw.

That's 1.4.1. Still one local SQLite file, with seven daily backups. Still no account, no telemetry, nothing leaving your Mac. Still a one-time purchase: $49 on the web, with a 100-hour trial. Now you can read the week you recorded, and the window stays put while you do.

Timex requires macOS 15 or later and Apple Silicon. If that is your Mac, download the latest version.
