Your day as a Mondrian-inspired grid. Passive. Private. On-device. Life Tile tracks where you spend your time and shows it as a colorful square grid. Your phone knows where you are. Life Tile uses that to build a picture of your day. Each colored block is a place or activity, sized by how long you were there. At a glance, you see exactly where your time went. HOW IT WORKS Life Tile detects the places you visit in the background. Set up a place once — name it, pick a category — and it's tracked automatically from then on. You can also correct or adjust entries when needed. PRIVACY Your location and activity data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no ads. Optional iCloud sync between your own devices only. Anonymous usage stats can be turned off in Settings. SQUARE TILE CHART Your day as a grid of colored blocks. It stays readable even with many categories. The bigger the block, the more time you spent there. TREEMAP, MAP & LIST Zoom out to your day, week, or month. The treemap shows proportionally where your time goes. Switch to map view to see every place you visited, or list view to browse your timeline. Patterns and habits become obvious. TWO-LEVEL CATEGORIES Organize your activities with main categories and subcategories. Exercise > Outdoor Run, Entertainment > Concert, Meals > Lunch — as detailed as you want. SLEEP & WORKOUTS Pulls sleep and workout data from Apple Health to complete the picture of your day. No extra setup needed. WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS Check your day from the home screen. Widgets show your current activity and today's breakdown. Shortcuts let you automate common actions. CSV IMPORT Coming from another time-tracking app? Import your CSV data and keep your history. ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription. Buy once, use forever.
