Make your own time work for you. The day fills up and disappears. You studied hard, but you cannot really feel how far you got. TimeHack is a deliberately simple time log that turns those hours into something you can see. WHAT IT DOES Simple to record. No setup, no accounts. Add an entry and mark it done. Analysis that fits the question. Today, this week, this month, this year - your time is totalled up for you automatically. Progress you can see. Study, reading, training: watch the hours add up as a chart. "I actually did this much" is what carries you into tomorrow. Find the time you were losing. Once the aimless hours are visible, your days settle into a rhythm on their own. GOOD FOR - Logging study for an exam or a qualification - Tracking billable or side-project hours accurately - Anyone looking for a simple tool to build a habit - Ending the day with something to show for it BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY Recording should never feel like work, so everything unnecessary has been stripped out. Every time you open the chart, your effort is right there. Your entries stay on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. Export to CSV any time from Settings.
Become

Who do you want to become—and what would that person do today? Become helps you turn a long-term goal into future identities, a practical roadmap, and focused action. Instead of leaving your ideal life as an abstract vision, you build a path you can follow and adjust as real life unfolds. DEFINE WHO YOU ARE BECOMING Describe where you are now, the future you want, why it matters, and the life you do not want to drift into. With AI support, Become organizes your context into one to three future identities. Review, edit, reorder, or refine them before you continue. TURN IDENTITY INTO A ROADMAP Connect your confirmed identities to weekly focuses, monthly milestones, and observable behaviors. Return to the larger path whenever you need direction, and update your weekly focus as your situation changes. FOCUS ON REAL ACTION Start a focus session without planning every detail first. Add context afterward, backfill same-day activity when needed, and keep lightweight to-dos beside today's work. SEE YOUR IDENTITY SIGNALS Analyzed actions can be classified by direction. Aligned actions become identity evidence, helping you see which future identities your behavior is reinforcing—without reducing your growth to a single score or streak. HEAR FROM YOUR FUTURE SELF Receive personalized feedback shaped by your goals, roadmap, and recent actions. Daily reports surface behavior patterns, aligned actions, focus time, insights, and practical suggestions for what to do next. YOU STAY IN CONTROL AI helps structure identities and roadmaps, analyze actions, and generate feedback. You confirm and can edit the identities and plans that guide your journey. After any eligible trial, personalized AI-supported feedback, ongoing roadmap generation, and journey restart require Become PLUS. Existing plans remain readable after access ends. Purchases and restores are handled through your Apple ID.
