TIME TRACKING WITHOUT A SIGN-UP – OPEN, START, DONE. No email, no password, no account. ProjectTimeTracker records your working hours per project, works completely offline, and turns your houres into a clean timesheet. Built for freelancers, contractors and anyone with flexible hours who has to prove or bill their time – without team software and without a learning curve. HOW IT WORKS: • Create a project, hit start – the timer keeps running even if you close the app or restart your device • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: project, elapsed time, status at a glance • Forgot to start it? Add the hours manually afterwards • Notes and tags per entry, so every hour has a reason TIME GUARD AGAINST OVERWORK: Set a daily limit, for one project or across all of them. A progress ring shows where you stand, and when you hit the limit the app reminds you to call it a day. Other apps optimise for more billable hours. This one doesn't. INSIGHTS: • Working time by day, week, month and year • Breakdown per project • Filter by project and by any date range you choose YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS: Everything lives on your device first. Sync between iPhone and iPad runs on an anonymous device ID – you never enter personal data. IPHONE AND IPAD: One app for both. On iPad you get a real split view instead of a stretched iPhone app, two-column charts and keyboard shortcuts (⌘N, ⇧⌘N, ⌘Space). FREE TO USE: Unlimited projects, every feature, all statistics and up to 250 time entries per calendar year – free forever. PREMIUM: • Unlimited time entries • PDF timesheets to send to your clients • Export to Excel, CSV or straight into your calendar • Full JSON backup Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription, cancel anytime. Track time. Analyze work hours. Invoice with confidence. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
