Chronoid MCP
Your AI agents keep asking what you did. Now they can just look.
Chronoid quietly keeps a truthful log of what you actually do on your Mac — the apps, the files, and the tasks your coding agents named themselves. It exposes that log over MCP, so Claude, Cursor, or any assistant can read your real week instead of guessing it.

The problem
Brilliant agents. No memory of your work.
Every assistant starts from zero. You spend your day re-explaining a week it could have just read.
“I plan in Claude, implement in Cursor, and neither one knows what the other did. Every tool starts the day with amnesia.”
Context dies between tools
“Before my assistant can help, I have to re-explain my whole week — the repos, the tasks, what is still open.”
You are the memory, and it is exhausting
“Screen recorders watch everything and still cannot tell my agent what I actually worked on. Pixels are not tasks.”
Recording is not understanding
“I want an assistant that knows my goals and can tell me if my hours are moving toward them. Instead it guesses.”
No link between time and goals
A real example
"What did I ship this week?"
This is real output from the Chronoid MCP — an assistant asked one question and read back the answer. Nobody typed the task list.
What Chronoid captured
Your coding agents name their own sessions. Chronoid reads the window title — so the log describes itself.
- ✳ Fix MacBook model speaker rendering/RenderLab
- ✳ Improve SmoothCaptureApp sales to 3k monthly/smoothcapture-web
- ✳ Review app architecture and propose performance solutions/Chronoid
- ✳ Add video file input support for editing/SmoothCaptureApp
Local. No screenshots, no keystrokes — just which window is in front.
What did I ship this week?
SmoothCapture
32h 25m- Improve 3D rendering quality for device models
- Fix iPad 3D model rendering artifacts
- Fix MacBook model speaker rendering
- Add video file input support for the editor
- Add device frame and controls to the CLI
- Improve SmoothCaptureApp sales to 3k monthly
Chronoid
9h 07m- Review app architecture and propose performance solutions
- Improve post format and image pipeline for Threads
- Improve website design and SEO with modern light theme
Same data answers “when am I most focused?”, “how much of this is billable?”, and “am I overworking?” — because it is structured, not a pile of screenshots.
How it works
Structured work, not surveillance
Chronoid records meaning — the project, the file, the intent — and hands it to your agents over MCP.
Your agents name the work for you
Claude Code, Cursor, grok, and codex title their own sessions after the task. Chronoid reads that title and turns it into a timestamped, project-tagged log entry — a work journal nobody had to write.
- Task-level detail, captured passively
- Tagged to the right project by folder rules
- Files and URLs included, not just app names

Any MCP client can query it
Chronoid runs a local MCP server. Point Claude, Cursor, or your own assistant at it and ask in plain language. The tools return real numbers your agent can reason over.
- Runs locally on 127.0.0.1 — nothing in the cloud
- Read tools for reports, focus, distractions, billing
- Write tools to create projects, rules, and time entries

It knows your goals, not just your hours
Because the sessions are named after what you were trying to do — like Improve sales to 3k monthly — your assistant can tie time to intent and tell you whether your week actually moved the needle.
- Time spent against a named goal
- Billable value with a description, not just a total
- Overwork and rest debt, so it can protect your evenings

This week: SmoothCapture 32h vs Chronoid 9h. Your assistant can flag when your hours drift from your stated goal.
What you get
Give an agent your work log and it stops guessing
Everything below runs on the same local data — no new tool to feed, no timesheet to fill in.
Write your standup
Group the week by repo and read back the tasks you actually shipped — no Jira, no manual logging.
Track a goal
A session named "Improve sales to 3k monthly" got 10 minutes on Friday. Your agent can report time spent against the goal.
Draft invoices
Turn billable hours into line items that carry the task description, not just a number of hours.
Find open loops
"Fix MacBook speaker rendering" showed up Friday and never again — surface it as an unfinished thread.
Protect your evenings
Four nights past midnight and two weekends worked this week — your assistant can nudge you before burnout, not after.
Answer "what did I do?"
Any assistant can finally answer honestly, with the file, the project, and the intent — because your tools named it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI agents can use this?
Any client that speaks MCP (the Model Context Protocol). Chronoid runs a local MCP server, so tools like Claude and Cursor — or your own assistant built on the same protocol — can query your work log directly. You point them at Chronoid once and they can ask questions from then on.
Does it send my activity to the cloud?
No. The MCP server runs on your own machine and reads a local database. Chronoid never captures keystrokes or screenshots — only which application is in the foreground and its window title. Your agent reads the data on your Mac; nothing is uploaded.
How is this different from a screen recorder?
Screen recorders store pixels and hope an AI can make sense of them later. Chronoid stores meaning: the project, the file, the duration, and the task your coding agent already named. That structure is what lets an assistant answer "what did I ship?" instead of "here are 400 screenshots."
Is this a separate app?
It is the same Chronoid you install for time tracking — the MCP layer is built in. You get the human-facing reports and the agent-facing data from one local app, one one-time purchase.
