I love tracking time with Toggl! I also love to set weekly and monthly goals for important activities like coding or learning a new language. I wanted to see my daily, weekly and monthly progress towards these goals, so I've created Hours app. THIS APP ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A TOGGL ACCOUNT You could create goals for specific clients or projects and set time goals for days, weeks and months. Weekly and monthly goals could be calculated based on daily goals or you could set them manually. You could start timers for a particular goal by tapping on it - timers you've used most this week will be shown immediately, other timers are just one tap away. This app is made to improve your current results, so you could see results only for current periods. Results for previous periods you could find on Toggl site. I hope Hours app will help you achieve all your time goals!

[Study Timer] I created a timer app that can calculate time. The biggest difference from other apps is that you can enter the title of goal setting and where you can calculate up to the year in kitchen timer format. We will introduce the main functions. [Home function] This is the first function that appears when the app is displayed. (Main screen) A list of set times and titles is displayed here. [Timer addition function] You can enter the timer information you want to set by pressing the plus button on the main screen. You can save it with save. [Timer detail function] You can actually start the timer by clicking the timer you want to see details from the list on the main screen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Year Timer at none against Hours's 1. Year Timer also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). Hours's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
