Trackself sits in your system tray (Windows/Linux) or menu bar (macOS) so it's always within reach, even when the main window is hidden.
Tray Icon
After launching Trackself, its icon appears in the system tray area. Click the icon to open the tray menu.
Tray menu
You can refocus the app or stop the active timer without reopening the main window.
Tray Menu Options
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Focus | Bring the Trackself window to the front |
| Hide | Hide the main window (Windows/Linux only) |
| Stop tracking | Stop the currently active task |
| Quit | Exit Trackself |
On macOS, the Hide action is omitted, but Focus, Stop tracking, and Quit are still available.
Typical Workflow
- Start tracking a task in the main window.
- Hide the window or switch to another app — Trackself keeps running in the tray or menu bar.
- When you're done, open the tray menu and select Stop tracking.
- Use Focus to bring the window back when you need it.
