Stands out for tracking continuously without manual start-stop timers, separating real work from idle time and recording to the exact second while running in the background.
Time & Click Tracker is a Blender add-on that logs your time and activity automatically. It begins tracking the instant you enable the add-on, records time to the exact second without rounding, and displays active time live in the N-panel. It runs in the background across long sessions and multiple Blender instances, with no manual timers or external apps.
Alongside the timer, it counts every mouse click and key press in real time, and this data can reset per session or persist with the file. Smart idle detection uses a configurable threshold between 10 and 120 seconds, logs away-time separately, and can auto-pause when you step away. A live Focus Score reflects your active-to-idle ratio as a percentage, and an optional HUD overlay shows a time readout inside the 3D viewport.
A break reminder system delivers popup notifications, native sound alerts, and a visual flash at intervals from five minutes to eight hours, with snooze and rotating wellness tips. Session history logs date, duration, focus score, clicks, and key presses, exports to CSV or TXT, and can be stored inside the .blend file.
Time & Click Tracker - Break Time Reminder And Monitor Blender Activity In Real-Time is best for freelancers calculating billable hours, studio leads analyzing team output, and solo artists who want to understand their real Blender workflow.
Time & Click Tracker - Break Time Reminder And Monitor Blender Activity In Real-Time is completely free to download and use.
Time & Click Tracker begins tracking the instant you enable the add-on, so there are no manual timers to start or stop. It runs silently in the background from the moment your project is open, records time to the exact second, and displays active time live in the N-panel. It works across long sessions and multiple Blender instances without external apps. If you step away, smart idle detection and the optional auto-pause mode keep idle time out of your active total, so the count reflects real work.
Time & Click Tracker includes smart idle detection with a configurable threshold you can set anywhere from 10 to 120 seconds. When you step away past that threshold, it can log away-time separately so you can see your true efficiency rate, and its auto-pause mode stops the active timer automatically so only real work is counted. Idle periods are clearly labeled and kept out of your active time. It also calculates a live Focus Score from your active-to-idle ratio, shown as a percentage with an Excellent, Good, or Low indicator.
Time & Click Tracker logs each session with date, duration, focus score, clicks, and key presses, and lets you review up to ten recent sessions directly in the N-panel. You can export your history to CSV to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or another analytics tool, or to TXT for a plain-text log suited to invoices, reports, or personal records. History can be cleared at any time. Enabling Save With .blend File stores cumulative time data inside your project so it persists when you reopen the file.
Time & Click Tracker has a break reminder system that shows popup notifications at the center of your screen at an interval you choose, ranging from five minutes up to eight hours. It can play customizable sound alerts using your system's native audio on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and add a brief visual flash to catch your attention. A snooze button delays the next reminder by five minutes, a live countdown shows when the next break is due, and each alert can include rotating wellness tips. Sound, flash, and popup can be toggled independently.
Time & Click Tracker is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The add-on is built directly into Blender and runs in the background with no external apps required. Documentation is available to help you set up the idle threshold, break intervals, HUD overlay, and export options, and a demo video is also available if you want a look before installing.
