TickTrail vs Little Beaver

Two focus timer modes to suit your needs: Pomodoro Timer: Default 25-minute focus + 5-minute break, fully customizable. Driven by "time pressure," it's great for quick starts and beating procrastination, keeping your brain in a productive rhythm. Stopwatch (Count-up): Starts from zero and accumulates until the task is done. Driven by a "sense of completion," it's ideal for deep creative work and immersive thinking, without disrupting your flow. Recommendation: Use Pomodoro for routine tasks and Stopwatch for deep work. Switch flexibly to double your efficiency. You can change labels and adjust duration even during a focus session. To-dos and daily reviews: List a few tasks for today, link them to focus tags, and check them off when done. Unfinished items can be rolled over to tomorrow with one tap. Jot down a quick review each day, choose your mood and weather, and browse through daily, weekly, or monthly logs. Habit tracking for visible consistency: Create custom habit check-in labels and add reminders to your system calendar. Each check-in triggers a celebratory animation—a little reward for yourself. Deep stats to truly see where your time goes: Drill down into your timeline by day, week, month, or year. Heatmaps show your most productive hours, with tag rankings, weekday vs. weekend comparisons, and focus quality at a glance. All records can be filtered by tag and status. Today overview, all on one page: Total focus time, completion rate, tag distribution, and comparison with last week—just a glance and you'll know where you stand. Immersive experience, your style your way: Multiple themes to choose from, with automatic light/dark mode switching. Freely adjust navigation style, corner radius, card layout, and color scheme. System integration for speed and convenience: Real-time progress on the lock screen, widgets for a quick glance, and notification center controls for instant status switching. Enhanced alerts when a session ends. Data security you can trust: Local-first, so it works even without internet. Apple ID one-click login, encrypted cloud backup, and seamless iCloud sync across all your devices. Supports import/export for easy backups anytime. Cross-platform sync keeps your data with you wherever you go.
