Glintstone

Glintstone is a marking tool, not a time tracker. Press start and the page comes alive - a blank canvas and a living line. Write what you're doing, right now, in your own words. When you stop, that stretch of time settles into its place on the day. There are no scores here. No streaks to protect, no totals ranking your hours against each other. Just the mark you made, and where you made it. Look back and your days line up into one long, continuous ruler - each one a single stroke, exactly where it fell across the 24 hours. Scroll it like a measuring tape that never ends. A quiet month reads as a quiet month, and that's the honest answer. • A blank canvas that responds as you record • Free-form notes with #tags - write however you think • Every session placed on a real 24-hour line, never averaged away • Your whole history as one endless, scrollable ruler • Search across everything you've written Glintstone doesn't tell you whether your time was well spent. It just holds the mark, and lets you find it again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Glintstone at none against App Lock's shown. App Lock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
