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. Check your progress without reopening the app. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Start and stop a timer with one tap • Count down to presentations, exams, launches, and other important dates • See the total time spent preparing for each event • Run Pomodoro focus rounds with automatic breaks • Use an open timer on any tile • Add a checklist for your next steps • Follow running timers through Live Activities and the Dynamic Island • Start, stop, and check timers with Siri and Shortcuts • Get alerts for completed focus sessions, daily goals, and timers left running • Review your daily timeline, weekly trends, and activity breakdowns • Set goals, follow streaks, and explore calendar and heatmap insights • Personalize tiles with colors and icons • Sync privately between iPhone and iPad through iCloud TimeTiles fits study sessions, research, work projects, workouts, cooking, creative pursuits, hobbies, and everyday routines.
