Clock Out for macOS
Leave work at work.
Why it exists
01
Stopping work isn’t always the same as switching off.
Unfinished tasks can follow you away from the desk. Clock Out creates a short, repeatable transition between work and whatever comes next.
- 01
Close the laptop
The session ends, but mental momentum can remain.
- 02
Clear the open loops
Give unfinished work somewhere to go before you step away.
- 03
Leave
Move into the rest of your day with a clear stopping point.
Clock Out gives your workday a clear ending.

Cognitive Offloading
Type out what’s looping. The words dissolve as you write, giving unfinished thoughts somewhere to go.
