Timeboat is a time-logging service. A time-log is a record of how much time was spent on a certain task. With the rise of remote work, the need for rethinking how work is evaluated has arisen. This "evaluation method" is the biggest challenge of the remote work era. Time-logs are the most important information for evaluating work correctly, and Timeboat records them. ▼Features & Differences from Similar Apps▼ [Half is Schedule] Half the screen displays schedules and the other half displays logs, allowing you to compare actual time spent with the planned schedule. Schedules can be synced directly from existing calendar apps (iCloud calendar / Google calendar). [Action Sharing] You can share the actions you created, allowing other users to use the same actions. [Create Report / Invoice] Logs can be viewed by day, week, and month. A day's worth of log data can be downloaded as a daily report in .jpg or .pdf. Also you can create invoice for client with only one tap. ▼Privacy Policy▼ https://timeboat.app/privacy ▼Feedback▼ Please contact us on Twitter: @timeboat_app. We welcome requests, bug reports, etc.

Choose three things from today's five and finish them in short sprints. Sprint Focus combines the pomodoro idea, sprint training and habit building into one timer that is deliberately small — small enough that starting never feels like a decision. TODAY'S MENU, GENERATED FOR YOU Five items are drawn from the menu you keep switched on: studying, reading, exercise, tidying, idea work, anything you like. You pick three. SPRINTS OF 3 TO 20 MINUTES - 3 minutes times 3 sets (standard) - 5 minutes times 5 sets (hard) - Or a fully custom setup Choose between timed sprints, task sprints and count-based tasks. YOUR OWN MENU Add whatever you want: "read for 10 minutes", "five ideas", "tidy for 3 minutes". HISTORY AND PROGRESS Daily completions and total time are recorded, so the habit has something to lean on. A MORNING NUDGE A 9am notification tells you today's candidates are ready. WHO IT SUITS - Anyone who wants to concentrate on study or exam prep - People building a habit a little at a time - Anyone trying to keep reading or tidying going - People who bounce off complicated task managers - Anyone who finds short bursts easier to sustain Strict, but easy to keep going. Doing three things a day is enough to start moving.
