Timebook is a time tracker that records how you spend your day, turns it into habits you can keep, and helps you discover the patterns hidden inside it. No separate check-off: log what you set as a habit, and today's progress fills automatically. Whether you want to build better habits, stay focused on deep work, or fix your sleep schedule, Timebook helps you see what your days really look like — and shape them on purpose. Skip the complicated forms. Start and stop activities with a single tap. The more you log, the better Timebook understands your day - and surfaces insights that lead to better habits. ■ Habits your records keep for you • Today's habits on the home screen — tap a record-based habit to start logging • Set what counts: simply logging it, or a duration, amount, or count goal • Habits tied to a record are judged automatically, with no separate check-off • Streaks and a footprint board show every day you kept • Rest days and skipped days never count as failures ■ Challenges, from 7 days to 100 • Put a window around a habit you already keep: 7, 21, 30, 60, or 100 days • A different badge for each length, and a special trophy when three or more habits started together all succeed • Save and share the result as a badge image ■ One-tap time tracking • Tap a quick-action button to start logging in a second • Watch your current session progress on a circular timer — perfect for Pomodoro-style focus sessions • Edit start and stop times freely • Capture moments with timestamped notes ■ Two ways to revisit your day • Timeline: replay your day moment by moment • Grid: see your whole day as a colorful mosaic ■ Heatmaps that reveal your patterns • Activity frequency by day of week and time of day • Category-level breakdown of where your time goes • A clear picture of what you actually do, hour by hour ■ Routine templates to plan the day ahead • Design your daily plan as a reusable template • Separate templates for weekdays, weekends, and other contexts • Review your routines and see how your days align over time ■ In-depth sleep analysis • Bedtime and wake-time patterns over time • Sleep duration and consistency by day of week ■ More • Dark mode • Available in 13 languages Start tracking with Timebook and become someone who spends time on what matters.

FocusGuard helps you take back control of your time. Set a goal, block your distracting apps, and start a focused work session — FocusGuard monitors your focus and holds you accountable in real time. STAY ON TASK Define what you want to accomplish before each session. Whether it's studying, writing, coding, or deep work, FocusGuard gives your time a purpose. Choose how long you want to focus — from a quick 25-minute sprint to a full 2-hour block. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS AUTOMATICALLY Select the apps you want to block during your session. When you slip and open a distracting app, FocusGuard catches it, logs it, and brings you back to what matters. BUILD A CONSISTENCY SCORE Every session contributes to your personal Consistency Score — a 0–100 rating that reflects how focused and disciplined you've been over time. Complete sessions without distractions to raise your score. Lose focus too often and it drops. Your score is always honest. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS OVER TIME Review your full session history — how long you focused, how many distractions you logged, and whether you completed each session. Watch your consistency improve week over week. EARN ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock achievements as you build better focus habits. Hit milestones like completing your first session, maintaining a 7-day streak, reaching a score of 80+, or becoming an Elite performer. Every badge is earned, not given.
