Loom

Loom is a mindful time tracker designed for people who care not just about productivity — but about the quality of their time. Most trackers tell you where your hours went. Loom helps you understand how those hours felt. Were you in flow? Fully present? Or drifting through the day on autopilot? AI FILL — YOUR DAY, IN SECONDS Just speak or type what you did. Loom's AI listens, asks smart follow-up questions if needed, and builds your full timeline — with activities, categories, and flow states filled in automatically. Review the result, edit anything, or regenerate from a corrected transcript. What used to take minutes now takes seconds. HOW IT WORKS Each time block captures three things: what you did, which life area it belongs to, and how present you were. Activity name — what you were doing Category — one of 5 life areas: Routine, Work, Rest, Health, Social Quality — Flow, Present, or Drift Add blocks manually or let AI Fill do the work. Your day builds up as a visual timeline you can scroll through and reflect on. FLOW GOALS & DRIFT BUDGETS Set a daily Flow Goal to aim for the deep focus time that matters. Set a Drift Budget to keep mindless time in check. Both are visible on your home screen — no streaks, no guilt, just honest awareness. EVENING CLOSE & NIGHT SKY End each day with a simple ritual. Rate your day's alignment — how closely it matched what you actually intended. Then watch your personal Night Sky come alive. Stars, comets, and nebulae grow over time as you build your mindfulness practice. A quiet visual reward that evolves with you. DAILY INSIGHTS Each day, Loom surfaces a brief mindful reflection — a small nudge to notice patterns and stay intentional. INSIGHTS THAT MATTER Daily Summary — a donut chart breaking down your categories, activities, and time quality at a glance. Weekly Insights — rolling 7-day averages for flow, drift, and alignment, with comparison to the previous week. Share your weekly card with friends. Monthly Heatmap — a GitHub-style calendar showing your flow and drift density across the month. Spot patterns you would never notice otherwise. REST DAYS Some days are meant for rest. Mark a day off and Loom respects it — your blocks are preserved but excluded from stats and goals. WIDGETS A medium home screen widget shows your daily progress. A compact lock screen widget keeps your flow goal visible without even unlocking your phone. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE Loom is not another productivity tool trying to optimize every minute. It is a mirror for your attention — simple, honest, and respectful of your time. Download and start — no account, no setup. Just you and your days, woven with intention.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Loom at none against ScrollKitty's 2. ScrollKitty's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
