    About

    In practice. What you can do with Chronokura.

    Chronokura suits a freelancer who wants to turn tracked work into client invoices on a Mac without another subscription. Start the menu-bar timer or enter time manually, then assign work to clients and projects.

    Tracked hours can feed invoices with customizable templates, VAT settings and PDF reports. Quotes, reminders and recurring invoices are also documented. This is an individual app, not a collaborative team time-tracking platform.

    Data and backups can remain local. iCloud sync and cloud folders are optional. HemerAI runs locally through Ollama once the model is installed; Apple Intelligence may use Private Cloud Compute for some requests. Cloud-free operation therefore depends on the selected options.

    The publisher specifies macOS 26 or later and Apple Silicon. The one-time purchase is appealing for a solo practice with a compatible Mac; confirm that the available output formats fit your accountant and customers.
