toggl on your desktop, inside Franz

Toggl Track is how a lot of people account for their day: a running timer, a tidy log of what went where, the reports that turn into invoices and honest estimates. The catch is that Toggl Track usually lives in yet another browser tab, easy to forget to start and just as easy to forget to stop, so the timer drifts and the log stops reflecting reality. Franz runs Toggl Track as its own desktop service, with a real presence in your dock or taskbar and a tab that is always one click away, so you track time without a browser tab in the way, right beside the work you are timing.

Track time without a browser tab in the way

Franz loads the full Toggl Track timer as a first-class service, so starting, stopping, and switching timers, plus your project list and reports, are all a single click from wherever you are working. Keeping the timer in a dedicated tab beside your other services is what makes it stick: when you switch from one piece of work to the next, the timer is right there in the sidebar to switch with you, instead of lost in a browser tab you closed an hour ago. The tab keeps its own signed-in session, and you can glance at it to confirm the clock is running on the right project without breaking your stride.

Timekeeping beside the rest of your tools

Time tracking is most accurate when it sits next to the work it measures. Franz keeps Toggl Track alongside the email, chat, and project tools you actually spend that time in, so the act of logging an hour happens in the same window as the hour itself. When you move from answering email to a client task, switching the timer is part of switching context, not a separate trip into a forgotten tab. Franz surfaces native notifications for Toggl Track too, so reminders to keep the clock honest reach you where you are working rather than going unseen in the background.

Toggl Track on macOS, Windows, and Linux

Franz is a native desktop app for all three major platforms, and Toggl Track behaves the same on each: the same timer, the same login, a real dock or taskbar presence, and fast switching to and from your other services. Whether you bill your hours from a Mac, a Windows machine, or a Linux box, your Toggl Track tab is set up identically, so the habit of tracking time travels with you. It turns Toggl Track from a browser tab you keep forgetting into a dependable part of your desktop that keeps your log honest.
