Most time trackers are built for freelancers and billing. Timetracker is built for your whole life. 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? Drag the boundary between entries to fix it in seconds • Daily, weekly & monthly statistics — trends reveal what single days hide • Built-in pomodoro — run focus sessions without leaving the app; every session is logged as a real time entry • Real-time sync — switch between iPhone, iPad, and web seamlessly • Dark mode — full support throughout the app WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Unlike Toggl or Clockify, this isn't a work timer — it's a life picture. Unlike RescueTime, it tracks offline activities too — sport, cooking, family time. Unlike habit trackers, it measures duration — not just "did I do it?" No judgment. No productivity scores. 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.
