What it does
Turnip is a Mac time-tracking app for freelancers and small businesses, with a menu-bar timer, editable entries, statistics, offline capture, and integrations. The homepage lists a free Seed tier with one week of history and no integrations, Sprout at $2 per month for one account and one year of history, and Blossom at $3 per month for unlimited accounts and full history.
Turnip keeps time capture close at hand in the Mac menu bar and syncs entries with supported business services. It can track while offline and provides charts for reviewing how time is spent. The free Seed plan is limited to one week of history and no integrations; Sprout and Blossom add integration access and longer history, with the latter covering unlimited accounts. Vendor support says the app is distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store, so this is a Mac-focused option rather than a cross-platform workforce clock.
