Without an app
macOS has no setting that shows how much of the day is left. The menu bar clock shows the time, so you can count the hours yourself. To count down to the end of your workday:
- Open the Clock app, and choose “View › Timers”.
- Set the time until the end of your day, and click “Start”.
The timer shows the time that is left, and a notification appears at the end, but you must set it again each day. Apple’s instructions. Day Progress follows your schedule by itself, and shows the progress at a glance in the menu bar.
