Read full description

Time Jars is a satisfying visual time tracker built around a simple idea — every 30 minutes of focused work earns you a marble. Drop marbles into your jars to watch your time and effort build up over days, weeks and months. Create jars for each area of your life — work projects, fitness, learning, hobbies — and watch them fill up as you invest time into the things that matter. MARBLE JARS Create as many jars as you like, name them, pick a colour, and start dropping marbles. Each marble represents 30 minutes of focused time. Watch your jars fill up with satisfying physics and animations. TIMER Use the built in timer to track your work sessions. When the timer ends you'll be prompted to log your time and drop your marbles automatically. TASKS & TODOS Create a task list and assign each task to a jar. Tick off tasks as you complete them and log your time directly from the task screen. PLANNER Plan your day, week and month by scheduling your tasks into time slots. See exactly what you should be working on and when. TARGETS Set daily, weekly and monthly marble targets for each jar. Track your progress and celebrate when you hit your goals.
