About

Untime

Features
Read full description

Untime is a time budgeting app. It helps you decide where your hours should go before the week starts, then shows you where they actually went once it ends. You give each part of your life a weekly time budget, log sessions against it as the days pass, and end up with an honest picture of how the week really played out. The idea behind it is that not all time is created equal. Some you want more of and some you want less of, so every goal in Untime is one of two kinds: - A Grow goal is something you want to tend more often (e.g. reading or exercising). Its budget is a target to reach. - A Reduce goal is something you would rather let fade (e.g. social media or gaming). Its budget is a ceiling to stay under. FREE FEATURES - Grow goals (e.g. reading or exercising). - Live timer you can start from any goal. - Weekly overview of every goal against its budget, with daily rollups. - Timeline that lays your day out on a 24-hour grid, where you can drag sessions to move them, pull the handles to resize, or tap to add one. - Weekly statistics, with a donut of where your time went and a breakdown for each goal. - Light and dark themes. UNTIME PREMIUM - Unlimited goals, track more than the free three goals. - Reduce goals, cap the time you want less of (e.g. social media or gaming). - Archive goals, hide a goal while keeping its history. - Live activity to watch a session run on your lock screen.
