Chronokura is a native macOS app for freelancers and self-employed professionals that tracks time, generates PDF invoices and reports, and manages clients and projects. All data is stored locally on the user's Mac with no cloud or account required, and it includes an optional local AI assistant (HemerAI) that runs via Ollama or Apple Intelligence. It is sold as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.
