What I discovered was about Toggl Desktop: it wrote more then 500GB to my SSD in just 12 days. For comparison, during the same period of time, Spotify wrote around 200GB (still a lot), Dropbox wrote about 20GB and all my browsers combined wrote less than 20GB. \r\n\r\nThe overall rate at which toggl writes to my disk comes out to be something around 45GB/day or close to 2GB per hour. Of course, my computer is not on 24 hours, so the actual rate is at least twice that.  \r\n\r\nHere are some details on my system, in case it's important:\r\n```\r\nHardware Overview:\r\n  Model Name:\tMacBook Pro\r\n  Model Identifier:\tMacBookPro11,1\r\n  Processor Name:\tIntel Core i7\r\n  Processor Speed:\t2.8 GHz\r\n  Number of Processors:\t1\r\n  Total Number of Cores:\t2\r\n  L2 Cache (per Core):\t256 KB\r\n  L3 Cache:\t4 MB\r\n  Memory:\t16 GB\r\n\r\nSystem Software Overview:\r\n  System Version:\tOS X 10.11.6 (15G1108)\r\n  Kernel Version:\tDarwin 15.6.0\r\n  Boot Mode:\tNormal\r\n  Secure Virtual Memory:\tEnabled\r\n  System Integrity Protection:\tEnabled\r\n  Time since boot:\t12 days 50 minutes\r\n\r\nToggl Desktop Details:\r\n  Version: 7.3.337\r\n  Record Timeline: Enabled\r\n  Autotracker: Disabled\r\n```\r\nI'm also attaching a screenshot of the preferences pane, to save me from entering all that stuff manually.\r\n<img width=\"449\" alt=\"screen shot 2016-11-11 at 11 23 32 am\" src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/278058/20223934/7986411e-a801-11e6-8d4b-5bdb1ad531ee.png\">\r\n\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/toggl/toggldesktop/issues/comments/262697654","html_url":"https://github.com/toggl/toggldesktop/issues/2049#issuecomment-262697654","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/toggl/toggldesktop/issues/2049","id":262697654,"user":{"login":"mhujer","id":353372,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/353372?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer","html_url":"https://github.com/mhujer","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mhujer/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-11-24T06:07:47Z","updated_at":"2016-11-24T06:07:47Z","body":"When I asked the support two weeks ago, Kadri suggested [clearing the app cache](https://support.toggl.com/clearing-the-local-data-from-toggl-desktop/#win) which helped for some time, but now the Toggl is writing like mad again...\r\n\r\n![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/353372/20588339/a95b4fac-b214-11e6-8e67-f92376fe95b0.png)\r\n"}}
