Track everything you do — work, sleep, exercise, cooking, family time, reading — and see how your time is actually distributed across the categories of your life that matter to you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Define your categories — Work, Health, Family, Learning, Leisure, or whatever matters to you 2. Create activities and map them to categories — "Morning run" → Health, "Reading" → Learning + Rest 3. Tap to start tracking. Tap to switch. That's it. 4. Open your dashboard — category breakdown is calculated automatically You do the living. The app does the math. KEY FEATURES • Full 24-hour tracking — not just work hours. Sleep, exercise, commute, cooking, everything counts • Category breakdown — automatic percentage breakdown across your life domains • Hierarchical activities — nest "Work → Meetings → Standups" instead of a flat list • Flexible goals — set minimum, maximum, or exact time targets per day, workday, weekend, or custom schedule • Easy corrections — forgot to switch?

No streaks. Just an honest picture of how you spend your time. FREE TO USE No ads. No credit card. No limits on core tracking. Every time-tracking feature you need is available for free.
