About WFH Diary
Why we built it
From 1 March 2023 the ATO stopped accepting estimates and four-week sample diaries for the fixed rate method. You now need a record of the actual hours you worked from home for the whole year. Most people who work at a computer already have a machine that knows when it was in use. WFH Diary turns that into a diary you can check, without recording anything about what you do.
What we believe
- Records, not guesses. Hours are recorded as they happen. Anything added later is labelled that way in your report.
- Private by design. WFH Diary records when your Mac is in use, never what you do. Your records stay on your Macs and in your own iCloud. We have no servers that hold your data, and no analytics.
- Plain answers. Our guides say what the ATO says, link to it, and say when something is uncertain.
Who we are
WFH Diary is developed and published by Apptractive Pty Ltd, an Australian company. It’s sold on the Mac App Store.
WFH Diary is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office. Nothing on this site is tax advice.
