The problem

What did you do yesterday?

If you have to stop and think, you’re not alone. Between Slack, GitHub, and a dozen open tabs, most of the day slips by without leaving a trace.

What it does

re:Work keeps the record for you.

Install it once and it builds a full picture of your workday on its own.

Works in every app

It follows your work across every Mac app and browser, including Safari, Chrome, Arc, Firefox, and Edge.

Sorts your time automatically

Every stretch is labeled as one of 10 kinds of work, like coding, writing, or meetings, and filed into 29 categories.

Knows your tools

It recognizes more than 675 websites and over 100 popular apps out of the box, and works out new sites by itself.

Groups work into streams

The tabs, docs, and tickets that belong to the same job are grouped into one stream, with no tagging.

Logs your calls

Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and Webex calls are logged from join to leave, even while you share your screen.

Picks up where you left off

The menu bar shows your day so far and reopens the doc or pull request you were in the middle of.

Streams

Scattered work, stitched together.

When one job is spread across a Slack thread, a GitHub PR, and a Google Doc, re:Work knows they belong together.

It spots what keeps coming up

The same repo, ticket number, or link turning up in different apps is a clue they’re related.

It groups and names them

Once those pieces show up together over a couple of days, they become a stream with its own name.

You see the real total

Each stream adds up its time across days and weeks, and you can rename or merge it whenever you like.
