Read full description

TickTappy is one-tap time tracking that’s fast, visual, and built for real life. Create colorful tags and tap a circle to start tracking. Tap again to stop — and if you switch to another tag, TickTappy automatically stops the previous timer (unless you pin it). Made for Apple devices: • Home Screen widgets (Small/Medium) with interactive tag circles • Live Activity for your running timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Control Center widget (iOS 18+) • Apple Watch app + complications so your timer is always one tap away Why you’ll love it: • One-tap start/stop on tag circles • One timer at a time (with optional pinned background timers) • Quick time adjustment right after you start/stop (fix “oops” moments instantly) • Start retroactively (e.g., “started 30 min ago”) • Offline-first: track anywhere, sync later when you’re online • Day & week summaries with charts and progress bars • Organize tags into groups, reorder with drag & drop, and archive tags without losing history • Optional sound reminders per tag • Full entry management: view, edit, and delete past time entries No account required. Everything works offline, stays on your device, and there is no limit on tags or entries. Sync & Premium: TickTappy is fully usable offline with local storage. Premium adds cloud sync and cloud backup, so your tags and entries stay the same on every device you use. The Apple Watch app, widgets and Live Activities are free.
