Otherwise, you won&#8217;t receive any notifications from Clockify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Default project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you work on the same project every day, set a default project. Then, all you have to do is type what you&#8217;re working on and start the timer, and the project will be selected automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can select:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Fixed project<\/strong>, which will be always used when you start a timer for an entry without a project (until you change the default project)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Last used project<\/strong>, and timer will pick up the most recently used available project from your list of time entries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable default project in the app&#8217;s Settings &gt; General tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screenshots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mac desktop app has an integrated&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/apps\/screenshots\">screenshot feature<\/a>. After screenshots are enabled in the workspace settings by Admin users will be notified that screenshot capturing is activated.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keyboard shortcuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re focused on the Clockify window, you can use a keyboard shortcut to quickly perform some action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cmd+S &#8211; Start the timer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cmd+T &#8211; Stop the timer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cmd+N &#8211; Enter manual time entry mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cmd + Shift + S &#8211; Save time entry when editing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cmd+D &#8211; Discard the timer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cmd+Y &#8211; Sync data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cmd+L &#8211; Log out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also define your own custom global shortcut for start\/stop timer and hide\/show app in Settings &gt; Preferences &gt; General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offline support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> You can track time in Clockify on your Mac even offline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can regularly create time entries manually or start\/stop the timer, and newly created time entries will be saved locally on your computer.  When you get back online, the app will automatically sync all time entries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re offline, you will only be able to see information loaded while you were online (time entries, projects, tasks, tags, etc.). So projects, tasks, and tags are available for selection if they were loaded before you went offline.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not possible to create new projects, tasks, tags, and clients while offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app stores data locally, and syncs with the web version once you&#8217;re online again. If you want, you can also perform a manual sync by clicking the refresh icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"note translation-block\">If you are using the app in the <strong>offline mode<\/strong>, please make sure you\u2019ve synced your time entries with the cloud prior to logging out. If you fail to do that, all the data that is not synced at the moment of logging out, will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open Clockify on system startup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use Clockify every day you can set it up so it starts automatically on startup. To enable this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Go to <strong>System preferences<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Users and Groups<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Open <strong>Login<\/strong> items tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the desired app to the list<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">To open the app on the same page it was when you closed it just leave the <strong>Close windows when quitting an app<\/strong> unchecked. To do this go to System preferences &gt; General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you forget to manually start the timer, Clockify can <strong>automatically start<\/strong> the timer for you when your Mac is unlocked, awakes, or is booted. Or, if you forget to manually stop the timer, Clockify can <strong>automatically stop<\/strong> the timer for you when your Mac is locked, goes to sleep, or is shut down. Auto-start and stop can be enabled in Preferences &gt; Timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">By default, app will be displayed on your operating system&#8217;s language (if Clockify supports that <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/administration\/profile-settings#changing-language\">language<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use Clockify in a language that&#8217;s different from your operating system&#8217;s: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Go to <strong>System Preferences<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Select <strong>Language &amp; Region<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Go to <strong>App tab<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add Clockify<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select language<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group related-articles\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related articles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list related-articles-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/apps\/mac-app-appstore-version\">Mac App (AppStore version)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/apps\/windows-desktop-app\">Windows app<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/apps\/linux-desktop-app\">Linux app<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/track-time-and-expenses\/auto-tracker\">Auto tracker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/track-time-and-expenses\/idle-detection-reminders\">Pomodoro, idle detection, reminders<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/getting-started\/system-requirements-for-using-clockify\">System requirements for using Clockify<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clockify Desktop app for Mac is a native OSX application that enables you to tra&#8230;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_helpful_status":1,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-desktop"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"helpadmin","author_link":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/author\/helpadmin"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}],"version-history":[{"count":405,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29892,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions\/29892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
