Shortcuts

Tyme now offers over 20 different actions for the Shortcuts app on macOS and iOS. Fully automate creating tasks, completing projects or exporting time tracking data using shortcuts.

Additionally, Tyme for Mac offers five different Shortcut triggers (Preferences > Integrations > Shortcut Triggers), that can launch a Shortcut when, for example, a timer is started or a task is completed.
