TraceYourTime turns Apple Calendar into your personal time tracker ā no separate database, no double entry. Every session you log is a real calendar event you can see, edit, and export alongside the rest of your schedule. TRACK IN SECONDS Tap the Timer tab, pick a calendar, add a headline (and an optional note), then start. When you stop, the event is saved directly to your Apple Calendar. Save your most-used setups as Favorites for one-tap starts. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES The Summary screen shows a live doughnut or bar chart of every calendar's total time across the day, week, month, or year. Tap any chart segment to jump straight to that calendar's events. Sort by most time, least time, name, or drag into a custom order you lock in. SET GOALS AND BUILD STREAKS Create daily, weekly, or monthly time targets for any calendar. TraceYourTime tracks your progress, keeps a streak count, and awards badges as you hit milestones ā First Victory, Week Warrior, Month Master, Perfect Week, and more. STAY ON TRACK WITH SMART REMINDERS Pro and Expert subscribers get Goal-at-risk alerts when a goal looks unlikely to be met before the period ends, plus Streak Protect nudges so a single missed day doesn't quietly break a streak you've been building for weeks. LIVES ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Enable Live Activity to see your running timer ā elapsed time, headline, and calendar ā right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, without opening the app. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE TraceYourTime stores preferences locally and never sends your calendar data to any server.
