Timelines is an easy-to-use yet powerful time tracking app that helps you understand how you spend your day, improve your productivity, and build better habits. Track work, personal activities, health routines, and daily habits in one place, then visualize your time with an interactive timeline and charts to uncover patterns and make the most out of your time. I personally wasn't happy with the way I was spending my time, so I decided to build a tool to help myself and others figure out a way to become more efficient.
