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. You can export everything as JSON or delete all app data at any time from Settings. FREE, PRO & EXPERT ⢠Free ā Day / Week / Month views, 3 Favorites, 1 Goal ⢠Pro ā adds Year view, 6 Favorites, 3 Goals, smart reminders ⢠Expert ā unlimited Favorites, unlimited Goals, all features Pro and Expert include a 30-day free trial.

Most task apps flatten your life into a list. DoTree doesn't. Here you break a goal down as far as you actually think ā from the big ambition to the next small step. Folders inside folders, like a file system. Everything draggable, like files. And when it's time to work, you never have to look at the tree: the Active view shows only what's due now. ⢠A TREE, NOT A LIST: unlimited depth, projects with progress bars ā weighted by effort if you want ⢠WHAT'S ACTUALLY DUE: the Active view pulls today out of a thousand tasks, grouped by date or by priority ⢠IMPORTANT, OR MERELY URGENT: an Eisenhower matrix separates the two ā and shows what's allowed to wait ⢠BEFORE YOU OVERCOMMIT: the Forecast adds up every day's hours and flags the ones where you've planned more than fits ⢠SPEAK IT INSTEAD OF TYPING: say what's on your mind and DoTree turns it into a structured outline with dates and effort, on device, for you to review before anything is created ⢠RECURRENCE THAT THINKS: fixed to a date even when things pile up, or starting over once you're done ā weekdays, month days, multi-year rhythms ⢠DATES THAT INHERIT: subtasks take start and due dates from above, with optional times ⢠YOUR OWN ORDER: contexts with icons and colors, life areas, stars, and an idea store for everything that isn't a commitment yet ⢠APPLE CALENDAR: task time spans appear as entries in dedicated DoTree calendars, and move along when your dates change ⢠REMINDERS: push tasks to Apple Reminders and check them off on either side ā done is done, everywhere ⢠ATTACHMENTS: photos straight from the camera, voice notes, videos, files ⢠BRING YOUR STUFF: import from MyLifeOrganized (XML), export everything as JSON whenever you like ⢠EVERYWHERE YOU WORK: iPhone, iPad, and Mac ā with a widget and optional Face ID lock YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No subscription, no ads, no analytics, no trackers. Your content lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud ā we run no server and cannot read any of it. Dictation stays on your device by default, too. DoTree is free, and it stays free. Your plan. Your tree. Your data. DoTree is not affiliated with MyLifeOrganized.
