Your time is limited. Beyond Time shows you where it goes, so you can put it into the goals that matter. Every day has about 64 waking blocks of 15 minutes. Beyond Time shows how many are left today, and where the rest went: work, life, health, sleep, or nowhere you can name. TIME LEFT, ALWAYS IN VIEW Today opens on the hours you have left, with your day as a grid of 15-minute blocks. Logged time shows in its color. Time you didn't log stays gray. The rest of today is still open. β€’ Hours left today and this week, from your own wake-up and bed times β€’ Your day as 15-minute blocks, filling in as you log β€’ Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen: today, this week, the year and your next deadline LOGGING THAT TAKES SECONDS Beyond Time learns what you usually do at each hour. When time passes, it suggests it: tap "That's right", or tap the block that was different. β€’ Log a block in a few taps, or add a new routine on the spot β€’ Fill every gap from your usual in one tap β€’ Anything you skip stays empty. Nothing is guessed. ONE LOOP, TWO MINUTES A DAY Start your day: rate your sleep and pick the one to three goals that matter today. Log time: as you go, at lunch, or all at once in the evening. End your day: rate how health, life and work felt, and add a line if you want. See your week: every one of your 168 hours, by area. AN AI THAT READS YOUR DAY When you end the day, Beyond Time compares what you planned with what you logged and writes back what went well, what to watch, and one thing to change tomorrow. It knows your goals and the context you choose to share, so the advice is about your life. 168 HOURS. HERE'S WHERE THEY WENT. See your week as seven rows of 15-minute blocks, with hours per area and what you didn't log. Share it as an image. PUT YOUR HOURS INTO YOUR GOALS Set a few goals, break them into milestones with deadlines, and pick the ones that matter each morning. Organize routines by Health, Life, Work and Sleep, track habits on your schedule, and link them to the goals they serve. WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU ARE iPhone and iPad, including iPhone Duo. Goals, habits and routines are also on the web, and in Claude and other AI assistants through a free MCP connector. YOUR DATA, YOUR PRIVACY Encrypted. No ads.
