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.

See who does how much. Keep it fair. No schedules, no reminders, no shame. TallyChores is the shared chore board for your household. Do a chore, tap it โ€” that's a tally. The marks stack up, and the balance speaks for itself. The chore fight is never really about the dishes โ€” it's about whether the work is seen. TallyChores makes it visible: who did what, when, and how it adds up. This app records โ€” it never bosses anyone around. WHO IT'S FOR - For couples โ€” see the real split at last, including the planning and remembering nobody else sees. The mental load counts here. - For families โ€” a chore chart kids get in one try: tap, counted, cheered. No allowances, no gold stars; being seen is the reward. - For flatshares โ€” one honest board, no admin. Nobody can quietly tidy the history, the house rules stay pinned on top, and your data moves out with you. HOW IT WORKS - The Board: your chores, your categories. Tap to log โ€” counted. - Weights: every chore carries time and effort, so scrubbing the bathroom counts more than watering a plant. - Together: did it as a team? One chore splits across helpers, down to the last point. - The Log: the shared history โ€” every entry attributed, edits worn openly, thanks sent with a heart. - Photos: before/after proof for the jobs where proof beats promises. - The Balance: week or month, with a plain verdict โ€” balanced, or leaning. - House agreements: one pinned note for the rules you actually agreed on. ONE BOARD, EVERY PHONE Up to eight people join with one QR scan, or a link you send โ€” no sign-up, no invites lost in inboxes. If someone can't install the app, the same link opens your household in the web app at tallychores.com โ€” the same board in their browser, and the easiest place to build it with a real keyboard. IN YOUR LANGUAGE TallyChores speaks 38 languages, and each phone picks its own in Settings. Chore names on the board stay in your words. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No sign-up, no account. We don't know your name, your email, or who's in your household. - End-to-end encrypted sync: our server stores only ciphertext it cannot read. - No analytics, no trackers, no ads. Your chores are nobody's data. PRICING Free on your own phone โ€” everything but the all-time balance. Going online starts a free month of syncing for the whole household: no payment details, and it never turns into a charge by itself. After that, Household Plus covers every phone with one purchase โ€” a yearly subscription, or lifetime once and done. If Plus ever lapses, every phone keeps everything it has. A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER I'm one developer, and I built TallyChores for my own household first. Our chore arguments were never about the dishes โ€” they were about whether the work was seen. An honest count settled more of them than any schedule ever did. Terms of Use (EULA): https://tallychores.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://tallychores.com/privacy
