Here's an example of the information Timing records in various document-based apps such as Apple Keynote. Notice how Timing tracks how much time you spend on each individual file.

Other office apps such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Apple Pages are also supported. And all of this information is only visible to you, of course.

In fact, we have a dedicated page on why Timing is the ideal time-tracking app for remote workers!
