FAQ
General
Section titled “General”What does Clessira cost?
Section titled “What does Clessira cost?”During the beta, Clessira is free. For current pricing and terms see clessira.app.
Which platforms does Clessira run on?
Section titled “Which platforms does Clessira run on?”On the Mac (macOS 26.4+) — plus companion apps for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch in the same TestFlight beta. The Mac remains the home base for reporting, exports and settings. See iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch.
Where is my data?
Section titled “Where is my data?”By default, locally on your Mac at ~/Library/Application Support/Clessira/data.json. You can choose a custom location or optionally enable iCloud sync. See Data & privacy.
Features
Section titled “Features”Can I edit past days?
Section titled “Can I edit past days?”Yes. From the Timesheet window you can edit any entry (change activity, move start or end time, delete). The day total recalculates automatically.
What happens when my Mac sleeps?
Section titled “What happens when my Mac sleeps?”Clessira detects sleep and ends the running entry. On wake, the next prompt appears — the gap stays visible as “not tracked.”
What if I miss the prompt?
Section titled “What if I miss the prompt?”The prompt stays open until you answer it. You can adjust the resulting entry’s start time afterwards if you confirm, say, ten minutes late.
Can I track multiple activities at once?
Section titled “Can I track multiple activities at once?”No. Clessira is deliberately single-task: only one activity at a time. It mirrors the fact that your attention can only focus on one thing at a time, too.
Is there a pomodoro mode / break reminder / reports?
Section titled “Is there a pomodoro mode / break reminder / reports?”Not built in. Clessira does one thing: record what you do. Pomodoro apps, break reminders, and report tools already exist as solid standalone choices, and they pair well with Clessira.
Data & sync
Section titled “Data & sync”Can I sync across Macs?
Section titled “Can I sync across Macs?”Yes, optionally via iCloud Drive: Settings → Storage & Backups → “Sync with iCloud”. Sync runs exclusively through your private iCloud container, with no Clessira server. Details under Data & privacy.
Alternatively you can point “Choose custom folder” at a path inside Dropbox, OneDrive, or similar. Warning: these providers sync whole files, so simultaneous writes from two devices can cause conflicts or lost changes. iCloud sync is more robust — it merges changes entry by entry instead of replacing the file.
Can I export / migrate my data?
Section titled “Can I export / migrate my data?”Yes. Settings → Data → “Export data” gives you the full JSON file. For spreadsheet exports see CSV export.
Technical
Section titled “Technical”Clessira isn’t responding / the popover won’t open.
Section titled “Clessira isn’t responding / the popover won’t open.”First, quit the app from the context menu and relaunch. If the problem persists:
- Open Settings → Debug → Logs.
- Look for entries around the time of the problem.
- Send us the log via support / feedback.
How do I hide the text and time next to the icon?
Section titled “How do I hide the text and time next to the icon?”Settings → General → Menu bar display → set to “Icon only”.
Does Clessira work with multiple Spaces / displays?
Section titled “Does Clessira work with multiple Spaces / displays?”Yes. The menu bar icon is part of the macOS menu bar and is visible across all Spaces. The popover always opens on the active display.
