Plio is a beautifully simple time tracker. Start a timer, get on with your work, and Plio records exactly where your hours go. TAP TO START One tap starts the clock. The timer keeps running in the background — check it in the Dynamic Island, from your Lock Screen, or right on your Home Screen widget. Pause and stop it without ever opening the app. BUILT AROUND YOUR PROJECTS Create projects with your own colors and icons. When you stop the timer, pick the project, describe what you did, and rate how focused you were from 1 to 5. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Stacked charts show your day, week, month and year at a glance. Tap any block to see the project and its exact time. Filter by project to isolate a client or a side project. NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD. Plio asks for nothing. No sign-up, no email, no password. Your data never leaves your device — there is no server for it to go to. It works entirely offline. YOUR DATA, YOURS TO KEEP Export everything to CSV whenever you like and open it in Numbers, Excel or Google Sheets — handy for invoicing a client or reviewing your month. FEATURES • Background timer with Dynamic Island and Live Activity • Home Screen widget to start, pause and stop • Unlimited projects with custom colors and icons • Focus rating on every session • Day, week, month and year charts • Optional focus reminders • CSV export • 100% offline — no account, no tracking, no ads
