BlockyTime, A simple time logger no need to tap Start/Stop. ### App Store Featured of 2016 in China & HongKong ### ### Top 10 Productivity apps in China ### Everybody has his own demand on tracking time, but most people can't persist on it for long time because the traditional time-tracking App is way too professional, and it costs too much energy to use a stopwatch. BlockyTime is very different from traditional time-tracking App, it never needs to tap "Start/Stop". Months of research of users experience made us to work out a better tracking method which is more suitable for people's thinking. No worries to forget to start or stop stopwatch, just take a few seconds in leisure time, like playing game, select, tap, a whole day is tracked. When tracking time no longer has pressure but becomes relaxing, it solves the persistence problem easily. Even people don't has huge perseverance can be good at time management. [Features] • Super easy and rapid method to track time spending on every event • Custom classification of event Not only by event type (eg. work, rest), but also by specific details (eg. Game, music), also by priorities (such as four quadrants) • Unique link of event and object, analyze event from different angle • Comment, record details of event like writing a diary • Statistics, analyze time occupation by pie or bar chart • Trend, check and compare events time spending in line chart by day or month • Goal, such as reach 10000h in 5 years on drawing • Backup data to iCloud or computer, never lose it • Selected color themes, and colorblind mode is added [Suitable for] • Students Track time spending on subjects, analyze it and make a better study plan • Researchers Track time spending on research, analyze and make a more efficient research plan • Managers Who have many projects to do and needs to know time spending on every project • People with part-time jobs Track time on every work and analyze earnings • Salespeople Record time and frequency of contacting clients • New moms and dads Get to know baby's regular life and make a plan to rest • People haven't know the value of time Keep tracking time for a while, the statistics will shock you • People want to analyze time and make him better • People want to know what costs time • People are not satisfied with current situation, want to learn how to manage time and improve himself [Q & A] Q: Why named "BlockyTime"? A: Though time is continuous, for rapid tracking, we separate time into blocks by half an hour at the expense of accuracy. This period not only meets the need of statistics, but also is convenient for people to remember event. Q: Why make 30 minutes a block? This is not accurate. A: Statistics is meaningful only when people persist for a long time. Look at statistics in week or month, 30 minutes a blocks hardly make negative effects on analysis. Compared to spending more energy to make it accurate, track time quicker, take advantage of saved time on other things makes it better. Q: I have OCD, inaccuracy makes me uncomfortable. A: Just stand back and think about it, if you pursue the accuracy, after every time of record, should you add an event called "Tracking time"? Then it takes some time to track this one, so you have to record again, and then, endless loop… Never spend much time on tracking time, this is truly using time effectively.

blocos is the ultimate daily planner & time blocking app built to make you productive and organized! This app approaches time management and daily organization in an innovative way, inspired by a Wait But Why article. It's a perfect ADHD planner and calendar for ADHD people! It has a daily schedule planner based on the 144 blocks daily calendar that will make it much easier to time block your habits. THE 144 BLOCKS CALENDAR It's hard to plan your day as just one big block of 24 hours. You overestimate how productive you can be. This innovative calendar is simple: it breaks down this big 24-hour block into 10-minute pieces, so you can better visualize your time and properly timebox your habits, tasks, and activities, all with time blocking. 144 10-minute blocks equal 1440 minutes or 24 hours. If you sleep 7-8 hours a day, you'll have 100 small blocks to keep track of. If you work for 8 hours, well, you'll have 52 blocks left. Using the app you'll see how little time you have. However, you'll also be able to track it much more efficiently, building a routine with daily habits that best fit your lifestyle. How will you use the next block? Start habit tracking and stop procrastination with some great features: - Track as many activities and habits as you need. You can journal everything! - A blocks-based visualization of every single day: time block your way to your goals and end procrastination! - Daily reminders in the day planner: after allocating an activity, you'll receive a notification 10 minutes before it starts! - The perfect productive habit tracker: you can easily use it as a daily habit tracker to make sure you build good habits or stop bad habits - Journal and Planner: It's a passion planner, so you can always have time for your passions, but it's also a school planner/work planner that'll help you focus on what you have to do - Statistics and charts make this the ultimate goal tracker and activity tracker - Ad-free: we hate ads and don’t want to bother our users You can use this app in two ways: 1. A precise journal and time planner: strictly planning every day, keeping track of each block 2. A great weekly planner: pick a couple of activities to track. You can keep track of just some of them, and visualize the weekly calendar with the blocks filled Both ways will help you live more productive and happier days! However, it's much more than a time-blocking app! BEYOND TIME BLOCK: ONE OF THE BEST ORGANIZATION APPS To build a daily routine, be productive and organized, just offering an innovative daily calendar isn't enough. This app goes beyond being a habit tracking app or one of the best goal tracker apps: we aim to be one of the top productivity apps, no matter your time management skills! The activities are the basis of everything. Inside them, you have a bunch of features that make it one of the best life planner, daily planner free & organization apps: ◦ A full task manager: organize your to-do-list for each activity, create a daily checklist or daily reminders ◦ Focus timer: open the Pomodoro timer to apply the Pomodoro technique, set how long are the focus rounds, short breaks, and long breaks (the classic 25-10-30 technique or custom like 60 30 30) ◦ Keep a daily diary or save important notes: use the Notes widget inside the activity to create notes like a diary or just use it as a note block. ◦ You can keep a diary for each relevant activity or just focus on the deep work! Very soon there'll be a Group Pomodoro feature that will allow you to track time with your team or just keep focus with other people that are working or studying! A team Pomodoro (or team time tracker, team timer) like you've never seen before!
