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. WORKS EVERYWHERE Your account syncs across all platforms and devices. START IN 5 MINUTES Create an account, set up your categories and activities, and start tracking.

Mastery Timer turns the time you spend getting good at something into visible progress. Pick the skills you want to master. Writing, reading, an instrument, a language, a sport, meditation, anything. Give each one a daily goal, and fill its bar a little more every day. Every minute counts toward the bigger picture: the path to 10,000 hours of mastery. As your hours add up you rise through 25 ranks, from your very first session to true mastery, and the app tells you something new at every single hour. Not only at the milestones, every hour. What is shifting in your craft, what you have unlocked, how far you have come. No points to lose. No guilt. No streaks that punish you for a missed day. Lifetime hours and ranks only ever go up. If you skip a day, a streak simply starts again, quietly. Mastery Timer is built for years of use, not for a quick hit. Features - Create as many skills as you want, each with its own daily goal - A clean bar you fill each day, with a gentle gong when you reach your goal - A lifetime mastery view: your hours, your current rank, and encouragement that changes every hour - Tailored progress for each kind of skill, from writing to music to fitness - Fully offline and private. Your practice stays on your device. No account, no data collected - A calm, distraction free design The work is the point. Mastery Timer just makes the hours add up where you can see them.
