Start a timer with one tap, tag it to a project, and get clean daily and weekly insights. Everything stays on your device. ONE-TAP TIMERS Start and stop tracking instantly with a live elapsed display. No setup, no login, no friction. PROJECTS Organize your time with color-tagged projects. Add an optional client label or archive projects you no longer need. MANUAL ENTRY Log past work with manual time entries and per-session notes, so your record is always complete. DAILY AND WEEKLY INSIGHTS A clean bar chart and per-project breakdown show you exactly where your time goes — each day and across the week. IDLE DETECTION If you walk away and forget to stop your timer, Tempo will ask whether to keep, discard, or adjust the idle time. DAILY REMINDERS Set a reminder time so Tempo gently nudges you to start tracking if you haven't by that hour. 100% ON-DEVICE No accounts. No network. No tracking. Your time data never leaves your device. Designed with restraint. Built for focus.
