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.

Time tracking shouldn’t become another task. Little Beaver Timer is a minimal time tracker inspired by the chess clock. Track just two things: how long you focus and how long you rest. One tap switches states; pause anytime for meals, sleep, or time away. See where your time goes and regain your rhythm. SIMPLE TRACKING • Tap the upper half to rest and the lower half to focus • Just three states: focus, rest, and pause • See today’s focus and rest totals at a glance UNDERSTAND YOUR TIME • Review the last 7 days, last 30 days, or this month • Explore daily timelines, sessions, and focus-to-rest balance • Each tracking day starts at 5:00 a.m. to better match real-life routines TRACK FROM ANYWHERE • Interactive iPhone Home Screen widget • Apple Watch app and watch-face complications • Keep your current state in sync between iPhone and Apple Watch GENTLE REMINDERS • Get a nudge after focusing for too long • Get a nudge when a break runs long • Choose separate reminder intervals or turn them off anytime LIGHTWEIGHT BY DESIGN • No account required • Data stays on your device • Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish • Free for life Time tracking isn’t about filling every minute. It’s about seeing where your time actually goes. Focus when it’s time to focus. Rest when it’s time to rest. Little Beaver will help you rebuild your rhythm, one twig at a time.
