How much time do you actually have left? Halftime helps you see time clearly, from the next hour to the shape of your entire life. Instead of hiding time inside lists, charts, or abstract numbers, Halftime turns your day, week, month, year, and life into a quiet matrix of dots. Each dot is a moment. Some have passed. Some are still ahead. Some can still be filled with focus, meaning, and intention. Halftime is not a traditional to-do list, habit tracker, or productivity system. It is a visual time tracker designed to help you understand where you are, what matters, and how you want to spend the time you still have. Key Features • Visual Time Matrix See your Day, Week, Month, Year, and Life as clean dot-based timelines. Zoom from the micro view of today to the macro view of your life. • Life Progress Set your birthday and expected lifespan to visualize your life progress in weeks and years. A simple, powerful reminder to make the present count. • Focus Timer Start a focused session with a simple gesture. Turn passing time into visible progress and transform grey dots into colorful records of attention. • Special Days Track birthdays, anniversaries, trips, deadlines, goals, and meaningful moments with countdowns and progress views. • Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets Keep your Life, Day, Week, Month, Year, and Special Days progress visible without opening the app. • Apple Watch Support Check your time progress from your wrist. Add Halftime complications to your watch face for Life, Year, Month, Week, Day, and selected Special Days. • Visual Heatmap Your effort is more than a number. Watch your timeline light up as you focus, build routines, and create a visual record of how your time is spent. • Shareable Timeline Cards Create clean visual cards for your time progress and share your Day, Month, Year, or Life timeline. Why Halftime? Halftime is for people who want to: • Feel the passage of time more clearly • Track life progress without anxiety or clutter • Build focus with a minimal timer • Visualize habits, effort, and attention • Remember important dates and countdowns • Use widgets and Apple Watch complications as gentle reminders • Spend less time scrolling and more time living Design Philosophy Halftime is intentionally simple. No ads. No noisy social features. No complicated project systems. No endless settings. Just a calm, visual way to understand time and make better choices with it. Time does not become longer when you track it. But when you can see it, you can choose it more deliberately. Stop scrolling. Start living. Welcome to Halftime. Take control of your second half.

Time always moves at the same pace. But because it feels so ordinary, we rarely stop to notice it. This app helps make the passage of time visible—showing how far the year has progressed and how much time remains—so you can treat each day with a little more care. There are no big goal-setting features or flashy tools. It simply and quietly shows you where you are, right now. --- ## What you can do with this app ### See the year’s progress at a glance * Instantly check how much of the year has passed, in percentage ### View remaining time in real time * Remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds Not to make you think “only X days left,” but to help you notice: “this is where I am now.” ### Automatically update your wallpaper * Generate a wallpaper that reflects the year’s progress * Update it automatically every day (Requires iOS Shortcuts. Clear, step-by-step instructions are included.) ### Home Screen widgets * Small, medium, and large sizes supported Check your progress without opening the app. ### Subtle notifications * Notifications at milestones such as 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10% A gentle reminder to notice the passage of time. --- ## Recommended for people who * Don’t want to waste time, but don’t want to be managed by it * Don’t want the year to end “before they know it” * Prefer minimal, calm design * Want a small moment to pause each day --- ## About the design Information is kept to a minimum to reduce visual noise. The app is designed to stay quietly in your daily life— present, but never demanding attention. Time cannot be stopped. But you can choose how you notice it. If this app helps you value “today” just a little more, that’s more than enough.
