Make time for what matters to you. TimeTiles helps you track everyday activities, prepare for important dates, and see where your time goes. Your time stays private. There is no TimeTiles account to create, no data collection and no tracking. We do not collect your personal information or usage data. Your records stay on your device and sync through your private iCloud when enabled. We cannot access your time records. Give each part of your day its own simple tile. Tap once to start tracking, choose a Pomodoro for a focused session with breaks, or use an open timer for as long as you need. Preparing for a presentation, exam, launch, race, or recital? Add an event countdown to your tile. See how many days remain alongside the hours you have already spent preparing. Each session adds to your preparation total, so you can see your effort building over time. Some activities happen together. With TimeTiles Pro, you can track chores while listening to an audiobook, or a walk alongside language practice, with a separate timer for each. Your running timers stay visible through Live Activities, the Dynamic Island, and optional widgets.
