ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hours Keeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9.

Written reviews complicate that: 71% of timr's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hours Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

timr ships an update every 4 days, Hours Keeper every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
