Moved from Toggl

Much easier on me cognitively. Sorting out my time as a freelance is quicker now 2 months into 2026 I’m set on this over Toggl

Missing Money

Only place you see money earned is when editing a folder and exporting a PDF. Need to be able to see how much is made per day and per pay period (weekly, biweekly, semi monthly, etc) and then this would be an easy 5 star app and $8 iAP made. Please add this so I can switch to this app for my hours!

Buggy

Pretty buggy. Dev doesn’t reaping to emails. Watch syncing is a promise, not a delivery.

Great until sync breaks

Does exactly what I wanted but their sync algorithm is buggy and even worse crashes the app on desktop which makes it unusable.

Super Great!

I’ve been using Timemator for near 4 years and have the exact tools I need to invoice my customers. Plus: the developper is always listenning and answering to my feedback. Plus: export to CSV is working like a charm. Plus: it has a nice interface (very important things for me 😀).

Simple and Works

I am not great at tracking time but this app is simple and straightforward to start using without having to read a manual. It does have more advanced settings that you can ease into as you need them. The reports are intuitive and easy to decipher! Overall just a well done app!

Need update, watch/ios is out of sync with desktop

The ios need update.. it has been a year while mac has continous update. There are some issues between apple watch and ios. Stopping counter in apple watch makes ios banner notification hang there unless restart and stop time on ios to stop it. Similarily, stopping in ios or watch, doesnt stop it on mac, it just counting, need to manually stop it on computer and the adjust it back, very annoying

Exceptional — particularly on macOS

This app is exceptional, though particularly on macOS. I use it for billing clients, but I also use it simply to see where the time in the day goes. I’ve had one minor sync issue when I first got it, but it’s otherwise been flawless. Download it, then pay the dev the very-reasonable asking price.

My Go-To for Time Tracking: Almost....

The time tracking function, which is its foundation, works as well as it could work as a third party app compared to native iOS apps. However, the only gripe I have about this app is its Live Activities widget....

Typically, with just about every time tracking app that I have used over the years, the apps that have Live Activities typically have one thing in common: When you start a timer, the Live Activity banner shows up, and when you finish your time tracking session, and you stop the timer, the Live Activity banner disappears. However, this app continues to display the Live Activity after the timer is stopped, which is very, very annoying.

At the very least, I would prefer that the Live Activity be turned off after a timer is stopped. However, what could make this much more useful is this: Once the timer is stopped, just show the total time for today (and also show this on the Watch, as a complication!). That way, the end user can see at a glance how much time was spent during the course of the day instead of having to access the iPhone in order to find out that total.....

Secondly: It appears the developer has stopped taking the time to consistently update the app, as it has been over a year since the last update. If more frequent updates are made to the app, that would give me some confidence in knowing/recognizing that the owner of this app actually cares about making this app better, which would further incentivize people to actually go ahead and purchase the app, and stick with it.

Wonderful reading app

I use Timemator to track my reading. It shows me the books I read and when, and time spent. In this way it has become an app in daily use.

Overall Excellent

Excellent app overall.

An idea for improvement: The app could be improved by adding a recently deleted folder which allows recovery of a deleted task. It can be very easy to accidentally delete a task which removes all the important time data that was associated with it.

Thanks!

I found THE ONE!!

Why isn’t this app more known?!?!?! I downloaded like 5 other apps & was trying to like them. Then - I stumbled upon a single Reddit comment mentioning this one. I downloaded it & it was love at first tap.

Visually, it meshes with my ADHD brain. I tried to like Toggl but the lack of color options was hard. Also - the other apps had smaller timers.

Timemator has a visually uncluttered display, a bold timer that stands out & commands my attention. I LOVE the auto tracking on the Mac that syncs with my phone & Apple Watch.

Lastly, YOU CAN JUST BUY IT ONCE!!! No subscription!!

Note that you do have to buy it separately for your Mac & iPhone. It’s affordable.

A lot of potential

Some things that would make this app next level
- More interactive widget. Maybe add the ability to add more than one task to the widget.
- Save time tracked to native calendar app
- More color customization for tasks

I like how you have folders and integrated shortcuts. Only annoying part about the shortcuts is it opens the app when running a start timer shortcut (I was going to create my own widget via shortcuts but this defeats the purpose)

Looking forward to updates & plan on purchasing the full version.

Parfaite

J’aime beaucoup cette application. Tout est bien faut et optimisé pour suivre son temp.
La fonction qui manquerait à la limite, et que j’aimais chez orbit, c’est le fait de créer une facture avec l’appli direct pour une tâche précise.
Sinon 10/10.
De plus le temps d’essai est assez long pour vraiment se rendre compte de son utilité ou non pour l’utilisateur et la licence à vie est parfaite pour ne pas avoir encore un abonnement. Pas trop cher par rapport au bénéfice qu’elle apporte.

Beware data corruption!

Developer had my review deleted once. The app is kinda awful, and just keeps getting worse. Live tracking is a joke, the sync is a joke. Entries silently disappear— I’ve lost so much data. The developer never responds to support requests but has time to report App Store reviews.

The data corruption is a serious problem. It’s because the sync is buggy. I deleted years of entires because the app couldn’t handle the size of the db anymore. They’ve all reappeared in my phone (they weee gone for works) and now one of the tasks sync between desktop and mobile. It creates new tasks on mobile so I have the same task listed twice. It is criminal that this app is being sold in this state.

Mac at 90% - Mobile at 50%

Can’t live without my Timemator for Mac! Though it still needs some work (eg. you should be able to simply drag to copy a section to another time slot).
For iPhone and iPad not the same experience by far though which is unfortunate. Examples: On the iPhone you can’t pinch to zoom in and out on the timeline. So if you’re tracking 15 minute or even half hour increments (never mind smaller) you can’t even see them!! One more: the adding new tasks pop up is fixed, not scrollable, so if you have more than a few task “categories” you cannot get to them! And support is virtually nonexistent which is too bad because this is a great app!! My 4-star review is to be considered a friendly nudge to the developer (for iOS should have been a 2-star review)…

Too many bugs

Lots of potential, too many bugs.
I encountered a couple of bugs within the first 30 mins playing with the app for some basic functions like ending a tracking. Build quality is a bit disappointing

Developer offers no support

Auto tracking that works!

This app is great! Works exactly as needed - can set detailed auto tracking rules that differentiate between my jobs and tasks needed. Love it!
