Track, visualize, and balance your time (though we, of course, prefer calling it “thyme”) like never before with an app that respects your privacy. My Thyme integrates seamlessly with existing calendars on your device (iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Google, and Yahoo) without creating new accounts or setting up extra features. FEATURES THAT PUT YOU IN CONTROL Select Accounts to Sync • My Thyme lets you toggle individual calendars found on your device, so you only see events from the ones you select. Time Distribution at a Glance • See how your time is split across meaningful categories like Work, Social, and Me with intuitive visuals. Instantly understand your daily, weekly, and monthly time distribution. Find Free Slots • Choose a duration and find free slots accordingly in your calendar for any given day. Smart Goals with Real Insights • Set flexible goals for how you want to spend your time. Focus on work today, prioritize social connection this weekend, and make room for yourself throughout the month. Community Without Compromise • See how others in the community are spending their time—with complete anonymity. My Thyme aggregates only the number of events tagged in each category across users, never personal details. The result: meaningful, human-centered trends without invading anyone’s privacy. Seamless Calendar Integration • Works with all calendars already added to your iOS device—iCloud, Google, Exchange, and more. No duplication, no syncing hassles. YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS My Thyme prioritizes privacy, unlike most calendar apps. It uses your device’s calendar data and never uploads your schedule. Your personal calendar details, like event names, emails, dates, descriptions, and locations, remain on your device. Only event counts (and no other details) tagged as Work, Social, or Me contribute to anonymous community trends. PERFECT FOR: • Professionals seeking better work-life balance • Parents juggling family and personal time • Students managing classes, study, and social life • Anyone wanting to live more intentionally with their time Start shaping your time, not just tracking it. My Thyme provides daily clarity, balance, and community insights, all while keeping your schedule private and local. So download My Thyme today and reclaim your thyme (sorry, couldn't help it)!
