Holowork is for anyone who wants to manage their time well and stay present in the moment. Dig tunnels with Holdu while you focus. Every minute of concentration digs 1 meter deeper. Before you know it, you and Holdu will have built something together. Deep Focus mode blocks distracting apps during your session and lifts automatically when you're done. Track your daily focus time and depth to build a consistent habit. Every night at 10 PM, sit by the campfire with Holdu and take a break. Sometimes he reads you a poem while the fire crackles. As your tunnel deepens, so does your ability to focus.

Tally answers one question: where did my day actually go? Your day is a 24-hour dial of 15-minute blocks. Tap the center, pick a category from the radial fan, and Tally keeps logging that task until you switch to the next one. No timers to remember to stop — you tap when your attention moves, and the dial fills in behind you. DESIGNED FOR CAPTURE, NOT CEREMONY • Running capture: one tap starts a task; it keeps filling blocks until you switch or end your day • Radial fan: your six most-used categories, one tap from the center of the dial • Mosaic editor: back-fill or fix any block of the day with taps or drags • Automatic driving detection: time on the road logs itself (with your permission, on-device) A REAL WATCH APP • Start, switch, and stop tasks from your wrist — full parity with the phone • A complication shows what's running right now • End your day or resume it from either device; both always agree SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT • Day summary: tracked hours and your work/personal split at a glance • Reports: donut and breakdown by category, by week and month • Export a clean PDF of any period PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your devices. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Motion data for driving detection never leaves your phone. Tally is for anyone who has reached the end of a day and wondered what happened to it: freelancers accounting for hours, people balancing work and family, or anyone trying to be honest with themselves about where the time goes.
