Lyubishchev
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lyubishev is the protagonist of "A Strange Life". This former Russian entomologist and mathematician left to future generations not only academic wealth, but also the time recording method he persisted for 56 years. There is nothing clever about this method. What is amazing is that I have persisted in recording my life for 56 years. This app is named after "Lyubishev" and uses the same method of recording time. Different from other time management software on the market, this application focuses on "recording" and "statistics". This application has a simple layout and convenient operation. You can complete recording with one click, making it easier for you to stick to "recording time". The statistical function takes the form of a pie chart, allowing you to easily review past records and effectively analyze "where your time has gone." The application has only four pages: Time: Click on the villain to record what was done during the period from "last click" to "this click". Archive: This page can modify and edit the previous records. Click "Save" to archive all data on this page. Things: Edit all the things you want to record, such as "sleep" and "work". If you want to analyze the time spent in a certain field in more detail, for example, I like reading and I want to record the time spent reading each book, I will record the specific book titles on this page. Statistics: This page shows you the time you recorded in any time period in the form of a pie chart. User Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
