Ever ended a busy day unable to say where the hours went? Most time trackers make it worse: create a project, pick a category, fill in a form, three to five steps before the clock even starts. Then you forget to stop the timer, the data breaks, and you quit by day three. WhereTimeGo fixes that. One tap starts the clock. Categorize later, or not at at all, because nothing gets lost. Daily, weekly and monthly pie charts show exactly where your time goes. ONE-TAP TRACKING Start with a single tap, no project setup required Pick a category when you stop, with custom colors and icons Three-step onboarding gets you going in seconds UNCATEGORIZED SAFETY NET Forgot to categorize? Time lands in a fallback bucket that reminds you Backfill any time range in one step Edit, delete and undo fully supported DEEP STATS AND REVIEW Pie charts for day, week and month with category breakdowns Time-of-day analysis to find your golden hours and fragmented time Per-category detail: entries, average length, month-over-month change Compare any two periods, plus a full-year heatmap POMODORO FOCUS TIMER 25, 45 or 60 minute focus sessions Finished sessions automatically become time blocks in your stats Live progress in the Dynamic Island GOALS AND MILESTONES Set long-term goals like 10,000 hours for skills, study or fitness Progress ring, streak days and estimated completion date Milestones at 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% EVERYWHERE YOU ARE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets Apple Watch: start and stop from your wrist Optional iCloud sync across devices YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your device by default Face ID app lock for extra privacy Export a JSON backup or CSV anytime 23 languages with full Dark Mode WHO IT IS FOR Students: watch study hours add up toward exam day Freelancers and professionals: track time per project and client Habit builders: streaks and goal progress beat procrastination with data Anyone who just wants to know where the time went WHY WHERETIMEGO Genuinely free: every feature unlocked, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads Faster logging: one tap instead of the usual three to five steps A complete loop: tracking, stats and goals in one app Private by design: no data collection, no third-party SDK, works fully offline Refined with feedback from a hundred-person beta test.
