TimeTrack vs Horae

Where did today actually go? TimeTrack answers that in three taps. Name what you're doing, start the stopwatch, stop when you're done. That's the whole app. No account. No cloud. No setup screen between you and the timer. SIMPLE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY USE Most time trackers ask you to build a project hierarchy before you can log a single minute. This one opens on a big start button. Everything else — labels, notes, reports — you can add later, or never. THE TIMER KEEPS RUNNING Switch apps, lock the phone, take a call. The timer carries on and picks up exactly where it should. Forgot to start it? Add the session by hand afterwards. Left it running overnight? Auto-stop catches that before it ruins your week's data. LABELS THAT MAKE SENSE OF IT Colour-coded labels with icons for the things you actually do — Work, Study, Client A, Deep Work, Gym. Sub-labels when a project needs breaking down. Favourites for the ones you track every day. REPORTS THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING Daily, weekly and monthly breakdowns. Stacked daily bar charts, coloured by label. A 13-week activity heatmap, so a good month and a bad month look different at a glance. Streaks, daily average, longest session and your most productive day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN, NOT BY POLICY TimeTrack has no servers. There is nothing to opt out of, because nothing about how you spend your time is collected in the first place. It works on a plane, in a basement, and on a phone with no data left. Export everything to JSON whenever you like. Schedule automatic backups daily or weekly. Your data is yours to take. WHO IT'S FOR Freelancers billing by the hour. Students who want to know how much they really studied. Remote workers protecting deep work. Anyone who suspects their time goes somewhere other than where they think. Free to use, with an optional one-time unlock that removes ads and the label limit. One payment, yours forever — never a subscription. Available in 18 languages.

Horae is a time-tracking app for people who don't stick to schedules. Most productivity apps assume you can plan your day in advance and follow that plan. If that's never quite worked for you, you're not broken — you just need a different approach. Horae works the other way around: track what you actually do, then see where your time really goes. NO SCHEDULES, NO PLANS, NO GUILT Start a timer when you start something. Stop it when you're done. Switch between activities as your day shifts. That's the whole loop. The app stays out of your way and shows you the patterns that emerge. SET GOALS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Decide how much time you want to spend on Work, Sleep, Health, or anything else — daily, weekly, or monthly. Horae tells you how you're tracking against those goals without nagging you back into a rigid plan. EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE - 100% offline. Your data lives in private storage on your iPhone. - No accounts. No sign-up. No cloud uploads. - No ads. No tracking. No analytics. - Crash reports go through Sentry with personal text stripped out. - Export everything as JSON or CSV anytime, or wipe it all in one tap. WHAT'S INSIDE - A clean timer that recalculates from the moment you started — never drifts. - A day timeline showing how your hours actually flowed. - Insights that compare your real time against your goals, daily and weekly. - Activity-level drill-downs to spot where the day disappeared. - Smart reminders for forgotten timers and long-running sessions (you control which fire and when). - Quiet hours so notifications respect your evenings. - Preset categories to start from, fully customizable to fit your life. DESIGNED FOR REAL DAYS Horae handles the messy stuff: timers spanning midnight, time zones when you travel, retroactive entries when you forgot to start, gap-filling when there's a hole in your day, and entries that bleed past their planned end. PRIVACY-FIRST, ALWAYS Your tracked time is nobody's business but yours. Future updates may add optional cloud sync for backup and multi-device — when they do, it'll be opt-in and you'll always be able to export your data and walk away. If schedules don't work for you, give Horae a try. Track honestly. See clearly. Adjust as you go.
