What is a time blocking app?
Time blocking is the practice of dividing your day into dedicated blocks, each assigned to a single task or focus. Instead of an endless to-do list, you decide when each thing happens. A time blocking app makes that fast: you drag tasks onto a timeline, see your whole day at a glance, and protect deep-focus time from everything else.
Chunk does this natively on macOS. There's no browser tab to keep open and no subscription to renew — your plan lives in your menu bar and stays on your Mac.
Your schedule slides down from the top-right of the screen and floats above every window — even fullscreen apps — so you never break flow to check what's next.
Connect Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar. Move or resize an event in Chunk and it syncs back to the source — no double entry.
Build a reusable day, then auto-apply it on the weekdays you choose. Your structure is ready every morning with zero setup.
Chunk is a one-time purchase, not a monthly subscription. Your licence is yours for life, and there's a 7-day free trial with no card required.
A quick side-by-side. We kept it honest — Chunk isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's fine.

FAQ
Common questions about time blocking on a Mac with Chunk.
Chunk is a native macOS time blocking app built specifically for Mac. It lives in your menu bar, offers two-way sync with Google, Outlook and Apple Calendar, and is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. If you want a Mac-first app for focused daily planning that you pay for once, Chunk is purpose-built for it.
Google Calendar handles basic free time blocking, and apps like Tiimo and Structured have free tiers. Chunk itself isn't free, but it's a one-time purchase instead of a recurring subscription — and you can try every feature free for 7 days, no credit card required.
Yes. Chunk offers full two-way sync with Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar. Move or resize an event in Chunk and the change syncs back to the source calendar; events from your calendars appear on your Chunk timeline automatically.
Many people who struggle with focus find time blocking helpful because it turns an abstract to-do list into a concrete, visible plan for the day. Chunk leans into that with fullscreen alerts, a live tray countdown and reusable routines that remove the daily setup. It's a planning tool, not medical advice.
No. Chunk is a one-time purchase for lifetime access — no recurring fees. Most time blocking apps are subscriptions (Sunsama is around $20/month and Akiflow around $19/month), so paying once is the main difference Chunk offers.
Chunk runs natively on your Mac and your schedule data stays on your device — there's no separate cloud account to create. Calendar sync uses the calendar accounts you connect, but your plan itself lives locally on your Mac.
