MicroTrack
Read full descriptionHide full description
MicroTrack helps you turn focused work into a record you can trust. Start a work block, track time, log what moved forward, and rate how much energy it took. Over time, you build a clearer picture of where your hours go and which work drains or drives you. Break larger goals into smaller subprojects with time targets, so complex work feels manageable and measurable. Review your recent sessions in Insights, spot patterns in time and energy, and export your history when you want a deeper look. When you need stronger accountability, lock a personal reward behind a timer and finish the block before you cash it in. It’s a simple way to make hard sessions stick. With Live Activities, a clean timer, session logging, project breakdowns, and energy tracking, MicroTrack sits between a basic focus timer and a lightweight work system — built for builders, creators, and anyone who wants a more honest trail of their work.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dotly at weekly against MicroTrack's fortnightly. Dotly also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
