Effortless time tracking for deep work.
Deski stays in the background, measuring your focus so you don't have to log every minute by hand. Then it shows your day back as time blocks, charts and tags — all stored locally, on your own machine.

Designed for focus
Deski removes the friction of tracking, so you can spend more time in your flow state and less time logging it.
Automatic tracking
Deski watches background activity — mouse and keyboard rhythm — and turns it into clean time blocks. No timers to start, no minutes to log.
Manual logging
Backfill the work that happens away from the keyboard — meetings, whiteboards, calls — so your record stays complete.
Activity insights
Charts, tags and an efficiency score show you when you focus best — so you can shape your day around your peak hours.
Private by design, not by promise.
Everything Deski records lives in a single SQLite file on your machine. There are no accounts, no servers, and no sync. Your data simply never leaves.
100% on-device
All data stays in a local file. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
Keystrokes are count-only
Deski tallies how often you type — never which keys you press.
No mouse coordinates
It records that you clicked, not where on screen you clicked.
Clearing means gone
Clear your data and it's securely wiped from disk, not just hidden.

No. Deski only counts how often you type to gauge activity — it never records which keys you press. The same goes for the mouse: it logs that a click happened, never where on screen.
Payments are handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Every charge comes with a receipt email from Paddle — open it and follow the link to paddle.net to request a refund for that transaction. Cancelling during the free trial needs no refund: you were never charged.
