Every session you log is a real calendar event you can see, edit, and export alongside the rest of your schedule. TRACK IN SECONDS Tap the Timer tab, pick a calendar, add a headline (and an optional note), then start. When you stop, the event is saved directly to your Apple Calendar. Save your most-used setups as Favorites for one-tap starts.

Tap any chart segment to jump straight to that calendar's events. Sort by most time, least time, name, or drag into a custom order you lock in.
