RescueTime
The free version is great for tracking the time spent on your Macbook. It breaks down your time into varying levels of productivity as a satisfying pie chart and gives you a score out of 100 (Youtube is 'very unproductive'; Google docs is 'very productive'). A good day is around 75-85. It provides valuable information allowing for personal reflection and assists in setting goals aimed to improve time management.

This is great to improve focus and productivity. Users can choose blocks of time to study/work/sleep and the app starts a session (leaving the app results in termination of that session). Users can also play calming sounds while studying to improve focus. This app also has podcasts, peptalks and meditation to improve overall productivity.

Forest
This is a paid app ($3) where users can set the amount of time they want to focus, and as time passes, a tree grows. Leaving the app causes the tree to die. The more you focus, the more trees grow, and eventually they build a forest. It also allows people to grow trees together and there are statistics to review your journey.
