168 is a weekly time budget. Not a tracker β a budget. You have 168 hours every week. Pick the categories that matter (sleep, work, family, deep work, drift), set an hourly budget for each, and 168 shows you spent vs. remaining like a checking account. WHY WEEKLY, NOT DAILY A bad Tuesday doesn't ruin the week. 168 zooms out so one late night or skipped workout doesn't trigger a streak-shame spiral β the week is the unit that actually matches how life works. WHAT'S INSIDE β’ Manual entry + one-tap timer β’ Drift category β the honest bucket for time you can't account for β’ Sunday Review β 60 seconds, what stuck, what didn't β’ Live Activities β current category on the lock screen β’ Sign in with Apple, Google, or stay local FREE WHILE WE LAUNCH Everything in 168 is free during launch. More variants, calendar import, and cloud sync are on the way β join the waitlist in-app. PRIVACY No tracking. No ads. Your data stays yours β local first, sync only if you sign in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 168 at daily against Roll the Task's every 7 months. 168 also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
