Download Temporal.ist

Install what fits how you work: the desktop app tracks files, the browser extension tracks the sites you choose, and the terminal client runs on servers. They all sign in to the same account.

Browser extension

Add web addresses to a project, and time is tracked while a matching tab is open, background tabs included. It also starts and stops timers from the toolbar.

Only the rules you write are matched; your browsing history never leaves the browser. How rules work

Terminal client

For Linux servers and machines without a desktop: the same file tracking as the desktop app, a sign-in by QR code, and a background service that survives reboots.

Install or update

curl -fsSL https://temporal.ist/install.sh | sh

Then

temporal login
temporal watch add "My project" ~/code/my-project
temporal daemon install

The installer checks the download against its published checksum and puts temporal in ~/.local/bin. Terminal client guide

On your phone

There is nothing to install: temporal.ist works in your phone's browser. Start and stop timers, check your day and read your reports. Add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
