Planck Timer is a focused time tracker for people who want to know where their hours actually go. Clock in and out of tasks with a single tap, run multiple timers at the same time, and see honest reports across your week, month, and year. WHY PLANCK TIMER Most time trackers force you to pick one thing at a time. Real work isn't like that. You start a deep work block, then a build kicks off and you start reading docs while it runs. Planck Timer handles concurrent tasks the way your day actually works. FEATURES • Concurrent timers run as many tasks at once as you want • One tap to start, one tap to stop • Categories with custom colors so reports read at a glance • Week, month, and year views with stacked bars and per-task totals • Full history grouped by day, with quick edits and manual entry • Trim idle time on a running entry without losing the start • Private iCloud sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac (your data, your account) • Native dark interface designed for long sessions • No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No analytics.

START WITH AN ACTIVITY NAME Add an activity with just a name. Tap Start to save its starting time and see the elapsed time. Switching to another activity ends the current session and starts the next at the same instant. Only one activity runs at a time. DAILY AND WEEKLY TOTALS ON HOME See today’s total and the current week, starting Monday, without opening a separate dashboard. Tap an activity to review its totals and history. Sessions crossing midnight are split across the days they overlap. ADD AND CORRECT PAST SESSIONS Forgot to record a session? Add it in History. Edit start and end times, change the activity or delete a record. Overlapping sessions are rejected to avoid double counting. Archive activities while keeping their history. RESTORE WHEN YOU RETURN Time includes screen lock, app closure and device restarts until you stop. When you return, elapsed time is calculated from the saved starting time. A reminder appears for long sessions so you can check for a forgotten stop. Your activity records stay on your device. No account or proprietary server sync. Free to use with a small banner ad. Recording works even when ads are unavailable. See the privacy policy for advertising SDK data processing.
