Your time is precious. C-Time shows you where it really goes - automatically. How many hours did you actually work this month? How often did you make it to the gym? C-Time answers these questions without you lifting a finger: define your places once, and the app clocks you in when you arrive and out when you leave. No buttons to press, no timers to forget, no extra battery drain - it uses Apple's geofence technology, not GPS. Open the app and your numbers are just there: today, this week, this month, this year - clean statistics for every place, automatically backed up to iCloud. WHAT C-TIME DOES FOR YOU • clocks you in and out automatically at your places - work, gym, wherever • shows the running time live on the lock screen, in the Dynamic Island and on Apple Watch • history per day, month and year with clear charts • set a daily goal per place and see today's over/under at a glance - turns green when you reach it • a Home & Lock Screen widget with your goal ring - progress at a glance • add a note to any check-in - shown in history, in the CSV export and on the main screen • automatic daily break deduction per place - e.g. 30 min once a day passes 4 hours (off by default) • exports a beautiful PDF report - perfect for time sheets and invoices (also CSV / e-mail) • notifies you on arrival and departure, per place if you like • manual clock in/out and editing whenever you need it • automatic iCloud backup, plus backup to a file and restore • speaks English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese Set it up in one minute. Forget it. Know your hours. TIPS □ The automatic mode runs at its best when Wi-Fi is enabled. □ C-Time uses the same technology (geofence) as Apple's "Reminders" app. ================================================ What customers have said about C-Time: ================================================ △ Incredible app. I always forget to clock my time. With this app, its automagically handled. Love it! △ Pretty neat. I like this app a lot. It is really helping me track my work time without me having to remember to enter anything. △ Many uses. Now I dont have to remember what day/time Im called in to work on the off hours. Works great. Highly recommend. △ Works Great. Flawless....works great, and Geofencing is spot on! △ Very smart app. This app is one of the best I used. Its smart, useful, works great, & I highly Recommend it :) △ Love the idea behind this app! Can track how much time at work, girlfriends, favorite bar, volunteering... Great idea! △ Very user friendly. I like the instructions to get started. △ Amazing App! A perfect tool for business, hobby or private "actions". I can recommend this App for everybody. △ Perfect app. No need anymore to bother with tables to fill manually the hours in. All needed time stamps are logged automatically!! △ Perfect app. Simple to use and helpful to have the overview where time was spent. Congratulations! △ Great App to know where you spend your time. Works as advertised. Does NOT drain your batteries as it uses the same geofence mechanism also used by iOS for reminders and such. △ Great App!! I use it now for 2 weeks and its quite impressing to see where I spend my time. Its really simple to use. Great job. △ Very nice. A very useful and easy to use application. Good job! △ This app is really cool. It helps me see how much time I spend in school. It is so useful. Very good app. △ Très bonne application. Très pratique et fonctionne à merveille. On peut regretter labsence de calcul dheure (heure journalière, pause de midi,...) mais cette application fait ce quelle prêtant et de manière très fiable. △ Great. Funciona bem e tem boas funcionalidades. Recomendo. △ 매우 좋아요. 자동 체크인 체크아웃 해주고, 자신의 동선 자동 관리가능하며 개인적으로 장소들을 관리할 수 있다는 점이 아주 마음에 듭니다. 앞으로 더 기대되네요

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Soft Sounds at Free against C's $9.99. Soft Sounds also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and device support (3 vs 1). C's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 18 months). On review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Soft Sounds holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of C's written reviews are positive against 71% of Soft Sounds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

C ships an update every 5 weeks, Soft Sounds every 18 months. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
