INCOME Timer vs LifeCoster

Hours you never bill are money you never see. INCOME Timer turns every working session into a number you can watch grow — and, at the end of the month, into a billing summary you can send with your invoice. Built for freelancers, contractors, consultants, tutors and anyone paid by the hour. No account, no cloud, and the timer works offline — in 8 languages. Start the timer, watch your earnings tick up in real time on the signature three-ring dial, and stop when you are done. Sessions remember the rate they were tracked at, so your history never rewrites itself. WHY INCOME TIMER - See your money grow second by second while you work — motivation built in - Keep clients, projects and work types in one place, each with its own rate - Know at a glance who owes what and which hours are still unbilled - Export invoice-ready XLSX and PDF billing summaries in two taps - Your sessions, clients and rates stay on your phone: no sign-up, no server WHO IT IS FOR - Freelancers and contractors who bill by the hour and hate timesheets - Consultants and agencies juggling several clients at different rates - Designers, developers, writers, translators and tutors working per project - Gig and remote workers who just want to see what a shift is really worth - Anyone on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly rate CORE FEATURES - Real-time earnings timer with pauses and a running total for today - Rates per hour, day, week, month or year, in 50+ currencies - Clients and projects with per-project rates and unbilled totals - Work types with their own rates — web work billed differently than design - Reports with charts, trends and currency conversion for any period - Billing summaries with mark-as-billed, so nothing is invoiced twice - Session editor with overnight support and pause management, for the sessions you forgot to start - iOS Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen - Dark-first design built around the three-ring dial SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE English, Czech, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Indonesian, Portuguese and Spanish — with 50+ currencies and correct number formatting in every one of them. FREE AND PREMIUM The timer, session history and basic reports are free, supported by a small banner. Premium unlocks clients, projects, work types, charts, billing summaries and exports, and removes ads — as a monthly or yearly subscription (with a free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Ads alone can also be removed with a separate one-time purchase. Your data is never held hostage: if Premium lapses, everything stays readable. YOUR WORK DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no cloud. Every session, client and rate lives on your device, and the timer works offline. The app goes online only for exchange rates, fonts for PDF exports, in-app purchases and ads. The free version shows banner ads from Google AdMob, which track you across apps only if you allow it when asked. Premium or the one-time ad removal turns ads off.

LifeCoster turns your everyday effort into a number you can watch grow — second by second. Decide to skip something you’d normally buy, or start a work session, and the value of that choice ticks upward in real time. Seeing the number climb makes saving and sticking with good habits feel rewarding instead of restrictive. Three simple tabs, switched at the bottom of the screen: • MISSION — Register something you’ve decided not to buy (a daily coffee, snacks, a subscription you canceled) with an amount and a period. While you keep it up, the money you’re NOT spending grows every second. Reach the goal and you keep the whole amount; give up partway and it resets to zero. • WORK — Set your pay and an end time, then start working. Until that time, your earnings grow second by second. Hourly, daily, or monthly pay are all converted to a live per-second rate. Run several at once — main job, side gigs, and more. • RECORDS — Review your totals for completed and given-up items, and track an overall savings or earnings goal. ALSO INCLUDED • Apple Watch app and complications keep the number on your wrist. • Local notifications cheer you on at the halfway point and when you reach a goal. • Currency follows your device region automatically (¥, $, €, £, and more), or pick a fixed style. A NOTE ON THE NUMBERS The amount you see is a visualization of value created by your own effort — what you saved by holding back, or earned by working. It is NOT real money, points, or a prize, and nothing is paid out by us or the app. It’s not a lottery or sweepstakes. If you’d like to actually save, move that amount into your real savings to turn the on-screen number into money in hand. We deliberately avoid prize-style hype. The goal is simple: let the value of your own effort stack up in a way that feels good to watch. ONE-TIME PURCHASE (OPTIONAL) A single optional purchase removes all in-app ads and unlocks the “Game Style” design (a chase-HUD look). It’s a one-time payment — no subscription — and can be restored after switching devices or reinstalling.
