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.
