Quittin' Time
Read full descriptionHide full description
Work too much? Quittin' Time is the work timer that nags you to STOP โ not to clock in. It tracks your real active work time and tells you when the day is done at 8 hours, so you actually close the laptop and go home. Every other work timer pushes you to log MORE hours. Quittin' Time does the opposite. It is built for people who lose track of time and overwork: a gentle, escalating reminder ladder that says it is quittin' time and means it. Start the timer when you begin. Pause it for lunch and breaks โ Quittin' Time counts only the time you are truly working, never the wall clock. As you approach 8 hours, the nudges begin. Snooze once if you must, log a break, or just stop and go home. โข Stop, don't start โ a reminder ladder that escalates as you go past 8 hours, with a snooze cap so it never nags forever. โข Active time only โ pauses and breaks are excluded, so the total reflects real work, not time at your desk. โข See where you stand โ Today and This Week views track the day and the week against your goal. โข Always one glance away โ Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets plus a Live Activity keep your progress visible at a glance. โข On your wrist โ an Apple Watch glance and complications tell you how the day is going, with Snooze and Stop right there when you need them. โข Just ask โ Siri and Shortcuts answer "Am I done?", time worked today, time left, and when quittin' time lands, or log a break hands-free. โข Fix the record โ edit a start or end time, add a shift you forgot to start, or mark a day off for holidays and PTO. โข Backups, free for everyone โ save a point-in-time snapshot of your history to your own iCloud Drive and restore it whenever you need it, manually or automatically. On by default, and yours to turn off. โข Sync if you want it โ optional iCloud Sync keeps your history current across your devices, using your own iCloud. Off until you switch it on. Private by design. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking, and no data collected by the developer. Your history lives on your iPhone, and the optional Backup and Sync features use your own iCloud and nobody else's. A calm app that respects your time should respect your data too. Stop working at quittin' time. Download Quittin' Time and take your evenings back. Free to use. An optional one-time unlock adds deeper history, charts, fully custom goals and contracts, iCloud Sync, and the Apple Watch glance and complications โ a single purchase, never a subscription.
