TimeHack
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
Notto

THE NOT-TO-DO LIST. Your to-do list will never be done. Notto is the other list โ the one that actually ends. A page for the small refusals that shape your days: the scroll you didn't open, the drink you skipped, the reply you didn't send. Write it down. Draw a line through it. That's the whole app. HOW IT WORKS. Add a notto. Something specific. "No phone in bed." "Don't reply to work after 7." "No second coffee after noon." The more specific, the better it holds. Strike the day you avoided it. A tomato line sweeps across the card. You kept your word. Slip the day you didn't. Jot a note if you want. No shame, no broken streak. That's it. No coach. No badges. No dashboard pretending to understand you. WHY IT WORKS. Small refusals compound. The thing you didn't do at 11:47 pm is more honest than any habit chart. Notto is built around that moment โ the ten seconds where choosing matters โ and nothing else. And the streak counts engaged days, not perfect ones. Struck or slipped both count. Showing up is the point. No streaks to babysit. WIDGET. Drop the Notto widget on your home screen and your active nottos sit there between the weather and your calendar. Tap one to strike it for today. Your refusals, where your thumb already lives. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. Your nottos stay on your phone. The text you write, the slips, your name โ all of it lives in a private container only Notto can see, and nothing leaves your device. Subscriptions are handled through Apple's In-App Purchase and RevenueCat; anonymous product-usage analytics โ never the text you write โ go to PostHog. That's it for outside services. No accounts. No ads. No IDFA. No cross-app tracking. See the privacy policy for the full picture. MADE FOR iPHONE. Native SwiftUI, built specifically for iPhone. Light mode, dark mode, system. Dynamic Type respected up the scale. VoiceOver-aware. Haptics tuned so the strike has weight. Springs, not easings. Not a habit tracker. Not a productivity app. Not another wellness guru in your pocket. Just the other list. Do less. On purpose.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeHack at none against Notto's 3. TimeHack also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Notto's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
