「Regain your time and balance — starting with a simple time log.」 Tilo is a tool designed to help you master your time. Focus Timer + Pomodoro + Timeline + Time Analytics No complex plans. No packed schedules. Just hit start and record your real day. ----------------------------------------- Ever had moments when you’ve been busy all day but can’t say what you actually did?
