Plan your day. Then see how long it actually took. Most task apps only record whether you finished something. Timlin measures the time you actually spent and puts it next to what you planned. β Planned vs. actual Start a timer on any task. Timlin logs the real duration and shows it against your estimate. After a few days, patterns appear β the 30-minute task that always takes 50. β A vertical timeline for the day Drop tasks onto the timeline and drag to adjust start and end times. You can see the density of your day at a glance, and notice when it's overloaded. β Brain dump Write everything down first. Decide order and timing later. β Focus timer Tap a task to start. The remaining time stays visible, and the measured time becomes your record. β Built for plans that change Long-press to move tasks around when the day shifts. Timlin doesn't assume you'll follow the plan exactly. β Pricing Timlin requires a Timlin Pro subscription. A 3-day free trial is included β cancel during the trial and you won't be charged.

DayPace is a calm, personal work-hours tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Track your workday without turning it into a spreadsheet. Start work, pause for breaks, resume, and finish with one tap. Forgot to tap? Add the time you meant with a simple βAtβ¦β entry. DayPace gives you a clear daily dashboard with your current state, worked time, break time, remaining time, target progress, and a complete-by estimate. Set your daily target, then let the app keep the record clean. The timeline turns your day into something you can actually understand: work blocks, break blocks, a Now marker, and a target marker. Tap a block or entry to safely edit or delete a mistaken time. On Apple Watch, DayPace is built for quick wrist-based tracking. Start work, start breaks, resume, and finish without pulling out your phone. A Watch complication shows todayβs progress from the watch face. Your hours stay backed up with private iCloud backup and recovery. Phone and Watch sync are designed to be clear and reviewable, with simple conflict handling when device timelines disagree. DayPace also includes a Data & Backup screen with iCloud status, pending events, CSV export, JSON backup export, and JSON import. DayPace Pro unlocks tracking, Apple Watch access, backup, and timeline editing. If Pro access lapses, your saved hours remain visible and exportable. Simple by design: one job, clear hours, no clients, projects, invoices, or payroll clutter. Your workday, clearly kept.
