Read full description

Log your day in a swipe and watch your billable total add up. Clocktower is a visual time tracker for people who bill for their hours: drop your hours as a stack of colored blocks, assign each to a project, and see the total in real time. LOG WITH JUST A SWIPE Swipe up to drop a time block, then tap a project to assign it. No forms, no fiddly start and stop. Add a note if you want one. BUILT TO INVOICE Give each project its own hourly rate and Clocktower turns tracked hours into billable totals automatically. When it is time to bill, filter by project and date range and export a clean timesheet. REMINDERS SO NOTHING SLIPS Turn on daily reminders to log your hours. Your timesheet stops being a guess at the end of the week. KNOW WHERE THE HOURS WENT Reports break your time down by project and by week, with earnings shown in your own currency. START A TIMER IN A TAP Running late on logging? Start a live timer from the app, the home screen widget, or the Lock Screen, and it lands in the right block. ON EVERY DEVICE Clocktower runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and your hours sync privately through iCloud across all of them. There is no account to create and no sign up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Clocktower has no ads and no tracking. Your time data stays in your own iCloud, not on our servers. Clocktower is free to track up to five projects. Clocktower Pro unlocks unlimited projects. Clocktower Pro is available as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one time lifetime purchase. Subscription prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

A timer you can read from across the room β€” and watch drain to nothing. Timedisk shows time as a shrinking disk. A wide coloured wedge fills the screen, and as the minutes pass it visibly disappears. There are no digits to decode and no arithmetic to do: you glance at it and you know how much is left. That is the whole idea, and it works for the people a digital clock has always failed. SET IT IN TWO SECONDS Drag your thumb around the dial to any length, or tap a preset β€” 5, 10, 15, 25, or one of your own. Start. That is the entire interaction, which matters when starting is the hard part. MADE FOR ADULTS, NOT ONLY CLASSROOMS Visual timers have been styled for six-year-olds for twenty years. Timedisk's default look is clean, quiet, and grown-up, and it can sit on your desk in a meeting without announcing anything about you. When it is for a child, kid mode flips it to big playful shapes and colours. IT KEEPS PERFECT TIME Set it, put the phone face up, walk away, and glance over from the other side of the kitchen. The countdown keeps perfect time even if you close the app or restart the phone, because it counts down to a fixed moment rather than ticking along β€” and the alert still arrives at zero. CHAIN A ROUTINE Build a routine out of steps β€” dress 10, breakfast 15, shoes 5 β€” each with its own label, length, and colour. Timedisk runs them back to back, chimes between them, and always shows what is running now and what is coming next. Mornings, bedtimes, homework blocks, cleaning sprints, lesson changeovers, physio sets. FOR TIME BLINDNESS If you have ADHD, or you look after someone who does, you already know that "five more minutes" is not a unit anyone can feel. A disk that visibly empties turns an abstract number into something you can watch arriving. The same goes for autistic routines, for children who cannot read a clock yet, and for anyone who looks up and finds an hour gone. ALERTS THAT LAND Pick a sound per timer, feel the haptic, and see the screen flash at zero. Through the last stretch the colour shifts to warn you it is nearly up, so the end never ambushes you. Keep the screen awake whenever the disk is on show. PAY ONCE, OWN IT Buy Timedisk Lifetime and it is yours: no subscription, no renewal, no losing your routines because a card expired. An annual plan with a free trial is there too, if you would rather start that way. FREE The complete timer β€” the disk, presets, alerts, escalating end-of-timer warnings β€” plus one saved routine of up to three steps. Nothing about the core timer is held back. TIMEDISK PRO β€’ Unlimited routines with unlimited steps β€’ Themes, including kid mode and dark β€’ Custom alert sounds per timer and per step Everything happens on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no ads, and no data leaving the device. Pro is available as a one-time Lifetime purchase or as an annual auto-renewing subscription that opens with a 7-day free trial. Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Timedisk is made by Adelyons Software LLC. Questions or requests? Email dev@adelyons.com.
