痛点：自由职业者需要从 Mac 菜单栏快速记录工时，并自动同步到发票流程，减少漏记和月底整理时间。

目标用户：按工时向客户收费的自由职业者和小团队，尤其是 Mac 用户。

证据：The Mac app lets you start, switch and stop a timer from the menu bar. The hours carry through to the web app, where you check them and prepare the invoice. It is a paid product. Solo is USD $10/month, or $100/year. There is a 14 day trial with no card and no automatic charge.

变现：订阅制：$10/月或$100/年，14天无卡试用；可扩展团队版、发票支付、自动化对账等增值功能。

MVP：2周内用 Swift 做 macOS 菜单栏计时器，后端用 Supabase/Firebase，Web 端汇总工时并导出 PDF 发票；先不做完整会计或支付功能。

竞品：Toggl Track、Harvest、Clockify、Timely、Paymo、Billable
