In life, we log the records about the books we read and the movies we watch; at work, we may also need to complete a weekly report. In these tiny records, in addition to notes, there are also plans and summaries, at this time, we do not need to associate or think too much, as long as a quick record can be. Short and concise is the best, even if thinking about inserting a photo, it will affect the efficiency of the recording. ## Faster Than Fast, Simpler Than Simple Is there a "Faster" way to log and record? "Faster Than Fast"? This is a very interesting design exploration, we removed almost all unnecessary buttons, no button for creating new note, no pop-up an editint interface. All the recording and writing is done in one screen only, and the 365 days of the year are visualized in "per week" units. You can see everything at a glance, select a day, and start writing directly. We've also added the ability to automatically export "Weekly Reports" in PDF format. ## Self-Review Easily When an App is simple enough, it makes us feel relaxed. Self-reflection can be a no-brainer. As the designers of the App, we create it but also enjoy the convenience it brings. Record, just record. In a small grid, 365 days, just a few words, but also enough to see the whole of our life and work. - - - - - - - - - - - - Privacy Policy: http://markeditor.com/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use: http://markeditor.com/page/terms.md

Time gets spent. It is not always easy to say where it went. TimeEcho helps you keep a record of your focus sessions, habits, journal notes, and daily timeline. After a while, you can look back and see what you kept showing up for, and what quietly took more time than you expected. You can use TimeEcho to record things like: - How much time you spent studying, working, exercising, or reading today - How many days you have kept a habit going, and how many hours you have put into it - When a focus session started, when it ended, and what happened during it - How much of your day was actually spent in focus - How long a book, project, or personal milestone really took - Private notes, thoughts, and journal entries that are only for you TimeEcho is not trying to turn your life into a spreadsheet. It is closer to a daily notebook that quietly organizes your time. 【Daily timeline】 The records page shows your day as a timeline. You can see what you focused on, how long it took, and add notes when you want more context. When you come back to a past day, you see more than a list of numbers. You see what that day felt like. If you only want the summary, switch to concise mode and check how much time each activity took. 【Habit tracking and time totals】 Create habits for study, work, exercise, reading, writing, or anything else you want to keep track of. TimeEcho shows how much time you have spent on each habit, along with its daily history. The heatmap makes consistency easier to read. You can quickly see which days you showed up, which days you missed, and when you put in more time. 【Countdown, stopwatch, and Pomodoro】 Use a countdown when you want a fixed block of time. Use the stopwatch when you just want to start and record naturally. Use Pomodoro when you prefer a steady rhythm. If the countdown ends and you are still focused, you can keep timing. If you forget to save, you can correct the end time later. Tracking should not interrupt the work itself. 【Private journal and notes】 Write a daily journal, or add notes to any focus session. When time records and written notes stay together, it becomes much easier to remember what actually happened. None of this needs to be posted anywhere. It can simply be your own record. 【Goals and milestones】 Set goals under a habit, such as a book, a project, or a stage of study. When you finish a goal, TimeEcho keeps the time you spent on the way there. Over time, you get a clearer sense of how long meaningful things really take. 【Small details】 - Pause habits you are not using, and restore them later - Set a daily focus goal - Correct time records when you forgot to save - Mark habits as good or bad habits - Review trends, heatmaps, and history TimeEcho was inspired by Lyubishchev's time tracking method, Atomic Habits, the Pomodoro Technique, the 10,000 hour idea, and The 100-Year Life. You do not need to follow any method perfectly. The point is simpler: when time becomes visible, it becomes easier to treat it with care. 【Auto-renewable subscription】 We do not show ads. A lifetime purchase option is available for a limited time and includes future updates. If you choose a subscription, you can cancel it anytime in Settings - Apple ID - Subscriptions, then select this app and follow the instructions. Subscriptions renew automatically.
