Tilely is a study timer and time tracker for students and anyone preparing for exams. Focus with a Pomodoro-style countdown or a stopwatch, watch each block land on a clear timeline by subject, and review your days with a calendar and trends. You don't need to plan every minute first. Pick a subject or activity, start when you're ready, pause when life interrupts, and add optional photos or notes when you finish. At the end of the day you can see where your time went — and what you got done. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Focus countdown: 25, 45, or 60 minutes, or the plan's estimated time; get a reminder and the block is saved automatically • Stopwatch: Tap Done when you finish to log the actual time • Break right after: Start a 5-minute break in one tap when a countdown ends, or pick 10 or 20 minutes or a free break • Plan today: Add one-time or repeating items, start a timer from a plan, and check it off when you finish • Subjects and activities: Templates for exam prep, university, school, and work — rename, recolor, and change icons • Daily goal: Set a goal that fits your stage, with 4, 6, or 8 hours for exam prep, and see progress on Home • See your time: Compare plans with actual time in day, week, and month views • Fix missed entries: Add records later and adjust their start or end time • Keep a visual journal: Attach photos and notes to completed blocks • Review your rhythm: Subject rankings, trends, and period comparisons • Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: Live Activities show time left and progress, with pause and finish • Night timer: The timer screen dims automatically when your iPhone is in Dark Mode • Apple Watch: Check today's total and quickly start favorite activities • Export your data: Create JSON, CSV, and media exports whenever you want • iCloud sync (Pro): Sync with your own Apple Account • Distraction-free: No ads or third-party analytics The free version includes the complete timer and break flow, up to 12 visible activities, all timeline history, basic 7-day and 30-day reports, and permanent access to detailed records you created.

Every Pro option unlocks task insights, custom date ranges, plan and actual time comparisons, customizable PDF reports, unlimited activities, and iCloud sync.
