Subscription required. 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Ever spend too long on one thing and realize you ran out of time for everything else? Timefog makes that visible for you. In real time. Your day is a single donut. When a priority runs overtime, the other ones shrink one by one, so you see exactly what you're sacrificing while it's still happening. HOW IT WORKS — Set your priorities and planned time for each — Start a task with one tap — If you go overtime, your other tasks shrink to show the real cost — Get notified before time runs out — Your sleep schedule is protected automatically WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most productivity apps track time after it's gone or force you into rigid timers.
