Toggl Track is beloved by freelancers for frictionless timers — and deliberately anti-surveillance. FocusUp shares the transparency values (no stealth, data parity, consent-first) while giving teams the activity evidence and AI coaching Toggl doesn't collect.

Start freeToggl Track records the time you say you worked. FocusUp records how the work actually happened (apps, activity, focus) with consent, and its AI writes daily coaching so members improve — useful when clients or managers need proof of work.
If you are a freelancer who wants frictionless manual timers and explicitly zero activity capture, Toggl Track is the right tool. FocusUp fits teams and contractors who need consented activity evidence and daily coaching.
