Works smooth and fast on Apple Watch

I despise giving this app a 5 star review. I hate subscriptions, and $40 a year feels way too expensive. That said, this stands as the uniquely functional personal time tracking app for the Apple Watch. I experimented with all of the other options including atracker, toggl, timery/toggl, and lifecycle, and this is by far the best of them. It allows quick switching of tasks with minimal button presses, easy editing of tasks on the watch, review of events on the watch, fast/consistent syncing between device, and great integration with shortcuts, siri, health app data, and watch face complications. I use my watch as a dumbphone, independent of my iphone, so these features are absolutly nessesary. Only timery/toggl came close in ease/functionality, which relys on toggl's increasingly restrictive free subscription. I now track every minute of my day with this app with ease and convience. I would especially recommend this to people with ADHD or anyone who easily looses track of where their day goes. I hate the subscription price of this app, and would heavily encourage the dev to offer an expensive lifetime option. That said, for how well this app works I just can't make myself reduce this review to 4 stars. Thus, this is the only app I pay to subscribe to.

Fantastic

I am able to track my study progress with this app. I’ve been enjoying it so far

Best app

Timelines is one of my favorite apps to track time on. It’s reliable, easy to use, and has a great ui. I also love that it sinks between all my devices. Great app

The best

All the features I want and none that I don’t. Very clean and intuitive. Helps me justify my time and stay on track.

The best I’ve seen (and I’ve been looking)

Timelines has made tracking my time incredibly easy. After years of looking for a simple, straightforward tool for categorizing, correlating, analyzing, and (when working) assigning my time to projects, I was surprised (OK, ecstatic) to find Timelines. It’s got exactly the functionality I want, is intuitive and, as best I can tell, well architected. Oh, and the support is *excellent*.
So why the 4 stars versus 5? Maybe it’s more me than the tool. It took me awhile to get things defined as I needed. In a perfect world, the tool would allow me to reconfigure my structure and move previously assigned events to the more “buckets”.
But, this is not a perfect world, and if I were the product creator I’d argue that one should spend more time experimenting before locking things down.
Bottom line: Excellent tool. Rating? 4.5

Brilliant - and simplified - time tracking and management app.

As a professional service provider, I have tracked time for years initially via paper and pen. This wonderful app is a real asset and time saver for those of us who live by the clock. Strongly recommend. Update: I like this app more and more every time that I use it. It is flexible, simple, and easy on the eyes. Many thanks to the developer!

Fantastic app

I don’t often review things (maybe this is the first time?) but want to express how useful and well designed this app is. I use it to track my time as a visual artist and it’s the most intuitive software and user interface. I’ve used it almost every day for three and half years now. I appreciate the apps simplicity while being such an immensely helpful and valuable way to understand where my time goes. Thank you for keeping it real Lukas!!

Very useful app

I am able to track everything that I do each day. The app reminds me when I’ve not got a timer running and also when I’ve left one running too long.

It has a detailed reporting capability that gives me an exportable PDF.

Life Changing

This app has become an invaluable tool for managing both my time and daily life. Its intuitive design makes it easy to use consistently, allowing me to track my priorities and identify areas where I can be more intentional and productive.

One of the most valuable features is the long-term historical record it creates. After using it for several years, I can look back and see what I was doing at specific times, where I was, who I was with and when particular projects or seasonal tasks were completed. This context has proven surprisingly useful for planning, decision-making and reflecting on past experiences.

The insights gained from tracking my time have helped me eliminate activities that don’t align with my priorities and focus more of my energy on what truly matters. The support has also been excellent, with a responsive and helpful developer who clearly cares about the user experience.

The result has been greater productivity, better organisation and a clearer understanding of how I structure my days. Without question, this app has had a positive and lasting impact on my daily routine and overall quality of life.

Very user friendly

I believe it’s beneficial for everyone to keep track of the real hours they work in case of any issues with billing or pay.

This makes it super easy to do so and I’ve found it to be extremely helpful.

Great!

I can track multiple goals and see it coded based on color.

Just the BEST!!!

I am an Independant Contractor and use this app to track my client hours. i loved that there is a free version to give you a taste for how easy to use the app is. I quickly realized it would pay for itself, so I opted for the paid version. It allows for varying degrees of tracking: a little tracking to more detailed, to allow me to accommodate accordingly to each customers’ billing needs. I really appreciate how accessible the developer/creator is to ideas and concepts.

Productivity

you can track the event or task you’ve been doing and it helps you to understand how much actual time you’ve spent on particular tasks that will eventually helps me to monitor and improve my time management

Simple yet excellent

Some of the other time tracker apps were not intuitive. This one is. Good interface and nice options for reviewing data.

Simply Perfect

Extremely user-friendly, enough detail to gather data but not so much as to overwhelm, and affordable. YAY!

I LOVE THIS TOOL

Finally find a way to record my time consumption! Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks

Well Designed easy to use app

This app has a well thought out design which makes it useful as a way to track work, study, habits, or anything you need to record. It can be used in a simple basic manner or can allow for detailed information if needed. You can export data easily. Developer continues to update. I forgot I already reviewed this great app so I’ll just say it again. Thanks!

Game changer

Very few apps or tools I’ve added into my daily workflows that legitimately become fundamental. I honestly don’t know how I was getting by before lol. I use this to track the time I’ve spent lifting (I don’t like wearables), sun tanning, and most importantly working on particular projects. I have an agency so it’s important for me to track my hours so I know what’s draining my time or not. Get this and keep your trackers simple and you’ll use it everyday
