Meeting Detection

Chronoid can tell when you are in a video call and, just as importantly, when it ends. A few seconds after you hang up, a small floating prompt appears offering to log that meeting as a manual time entry — complete with a suggested title and the detected start and end times. You can edit, save, or dismiss it in a click.

How It Works

Meeting Detection combines two signals:

  • A supported meeting app is the frontmost or active app (for example Zoom or Microsoft Teams), or a meeting domain is open in your browser (such as meet.google.com).
  • Your microphone is active — this is what tells Chronoid the call is actually happening, not just an open window.

Chronoid checks these signals every couple of seconds. When the microphone goes inactive and stays inactive past a short debounce, it treats the call as ended and shows the end-of-meeting prompt.

Chronoid never records audio. It only checks whether the microphone is currently in use as a yes/no signal.

Supported Meeting Apps

Chronoid recognizes the following native meeting apps:

  • Zoom
  • Microsoft Teams
  • FaceTime
  • Skype
  • Cisco WebEx
  • GoToMeeting
  • BlueJeans
  • Around
  • Tuple
  • Pop
  • Tandem
  • Whereby

It also recognizes meetings running in a browser through these domains:

  • meet.google.com
  • zoom.us
  • webex.com

The End-Of-Meeting Prompt

When a meeting ends, a small floating panel slides in. It does not steal focus or interrupt what you are typing.

The prompt includes:

  • A suggested title, usually derived from the meeting app or your calendar event.
  • The detected start and end times for the call.
  • Fields to edit the title, adjust the times, and pick a project or category before saving.

From the prompt you can:

  • Save to create a manual time entry with the details filled in.
  • Dismiss to skip logging this meeting.
  • Edit any field before saving if the suggestion needs a tweak.

Saved entries behave exactly like any other manual time entry — they can be edited, assigned to projects, or marked billable later.

Configuring Detection

Meeting Detection is controlled from Settings → Tracking.

  1. Open Settings → Tracking.
  2. Toggle Meeting detection on or off.
  3. Set a minimum meeting duration so short calls do not trigger the prompt. For example, setting it to 5 minutes ignores quick check-ins and only prompts for substantive calls.

You can revisit these options any time in tracking settings.

Privacy

Chronoid does not record, transmit, or store audio. The microphone is used purely as an activity signal — is it in use, yes or no — and nothing more. Meeting detection data stays local on your Mac, just like the rest of your tracking data.
