stint

Track time without leaving
the menu bar.

Two surfaces, one truth.

Start a timer in the terminal — see it running in the menu bar. Edit an entry in the GUI — the CLI sees the change the next time you ask. They share the same SQLite file. There is no second source of truth to keep in sync.

Built around how you already work.

⌘

Keyboard-first GUI

Menu bar popover for a fast start-stop loop. ⌘1 / ⌘2 / ⌘3 to switch routes. Esc to dismiss. No dock icon clutter.

⎘

CLI in your terminal

The same Rust binary that lives inside the .app also ships as a standalone CLI. stint start “thing” from anywhere you can type.

↻

Local-first sync

Every mutation persists to SQLite immediately. A background worker drains the queue to Solidtime with exponential backoff. Offline-safe by construction.

📅

Calendar one-click logging

Connect a Google Calendar. Click a past meeting to log it as a time entry with title, project, and time range pre-filled.

Scriptable + AI-driveable

Every verb supports —json. An opt-in loopback HTTP API exposes /v1/ endpoints. A bundled MCP server plugs straight into Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. stint:// URLs deep-link from Raycast, Alfred, and Shortcuts.

What stint doesn’t do.

The shape of a product is also defined by what’s left out.

  • ⛔
    No account.

    Solidtime is the account. stint is a client.

  • ⛔
    No telemetry.

    Outbound traffic goes to your Solidtime instance, your calendar provider (if connected), and an update manifest on github.com once every 24h. No analytics. No crash reports. No “anonymous usage data.”

  • ⛔
    No paywall.

    MIT-licensed. Free forever. Fork it and ship your own version if you want — that’s the point of MIT.

  • ⛔
    No browser tab.

    If you want to type into a web app, use Solidtime’s web app. stint is for the moments between web apps.

Install
