About

PioTime

Features
Read full description

One tap and your field ministry time is logged. PioTime shows what is left to your monthly goal and puts your service report for the month together. Free, no ads, no account, even offline. Your entries live on your device; pair a second one and both sync through an end-to-end encrypted copy on the server. Quick entry. Buttons for your most common durations, one tap saves. Prefer a running clock instead? Use the built-in timer. Monthly goal at a glance. A progress bar for 50, 30, 15 hours, or a goal of your own — overridable for a single month, for example when you switch between pioneer and auxiliary pioneer. Report to share. Field-ministry hours, credit and Bible studies as a short text, ready to send. Leftover minutes can be rounded up, rounded down or carried over to the next month. Calendar & list. Every month as a calendar with markers, or as a list, with a note about possible gaps. Bible studies. Count your Bible studies up and down per month. Credits. Credited hours (Bethel, construction, conventions) count into the month; a yearly credit lowers the year's goal instead. Service-year overview. September through August at a glance, with the year's goal and monthly totals. Notes for every month. Write down what you want to remember, with a list, bold and struck-through text. The note shows up with your report but is never sent. Device syncing. Pair your phone, tablet and other devices with a QR code — end-to-end encrypted, opt-in, and easy to undo at any time. Twelve languages. German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian and Turkish, with automatic device-language detection. A demo with sample data is available right on the start screen, separate from your own entries.
