Tracker

A Swift-first macOS utility for activity tracking and real permission-state onboarding.

macOSSwiftProductivity

Tracker is a Swift-first macOS utility for understanding local activity and making permission onboarding match the real system state.

The project focuses on the unglamorous but important part of desktop tools: permissions, onboarding, and trustworthy local behavior. If a macOS app needs screen recording or activity context, the user should always understand what is happening and what the app can actually access.

What it explores

  • Native macOS permission flows.
  • Clear onboarding for screen and activity access.
  • Local-first tracking behavior that stays understandable.
  • A foundation for future productivity and workflow tools.

Current direction

Recent work tightened onboarding so the UI reflects the real macOS permission state instead of guessing.
