DayPace

DayPace is a calm, personal work-hours tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Track your workday without turning it into a spreadsheet. Start work, pause for breaks, resume, and finish with one tap. Forgot to tap? Add the time you meant with a simple βAtβ¦β entry. DayPace gives you a clear daily dashboard with your current state, worked time, break time, remaining time, target progress, and a complete-by estimate. Set your daily target, then let the app keep the record clean. The timeline turns your day into something you can actually understand: work blocks, break blocks, a Now marker, and a target marker. Tap a block or entry to safely edit or delete a mistaken time. On Apple Watch, DayPace is built for quick wrist-based tracking. Start work, start breaks, resume, and finish without pulling out your phone. A Watch complication shows todayβs progress from the watch face. Your hours stay backed up with private iCloud backup and recovery. Phone and Watch sync are designed to be clear and reviewable, with simple conflict handling when device timelines disagree. DayPace also includes a Data & Backup screen with iCloud status, pending events, CSV export, JSON backup export, and JSON import. DayPace Pro unlocks tracking, Apple Watch access, backup, and timeline editing. If Pro access lapses, your saved hours remain visible and exportable. Simple by design: one job, clear hours, no clients, projects, invoices, or payroll clutter. Your workday, clearly kept.
