Time blocking, done properly: give every hour of your day a name, a color, and a place on a real timeline — then find out where those hours actually went. Most planners hand you a list and hope for the best. A list has no width, so it never warns you that your "quick morning" is already seven hours long. TimeBlock puts your day on an hour-by-hour timeline you can see: each block sits at its real start time, at its real length, in its own color. The moment your day is overbooked, the timeline shows it — before the day starts, not after it collapses. WHAT YOU GET - A day you can actually see: blocks sit on an hour-by-hour timeline with a live "now" line, so you always know what you should be doing this minute - Realistic plans instead of wishful lists: set a start time and a duration, and an overloaded day becomes obvious at a glance - A planned day in one tap: pick Deep Work Day, Study Day, Creative Day, or Balanced Day and the whole timeline fills in - The truth about your week: donut and bar charts, a 7-day activity map, hours planned, and your most-repeated blocks - A finish rate you can defend: tick blocks off and watch your daily completion score in the Coach tab - A nudge every evening so tomorrow gets planned tonight, plus coaching on time boxing, buffer time, theme days, and strategic breaks PERFECT FOR - Deep-work professionals protecting long, uninterrupted focus windows - Students building study sessions with breaks that are planned, not accidental - Freelancers and creatives who need work, admin, and rest to coexist in one day - Anyone whose to-do list keeps growing while the day keeps disappearing WHY NOT JUST USE A TO-DO LIST OR YOUR CALENDAR? A to-do list is infinite; your day is not. A calendar is built for meetings other people booked, not for the focus time you owe yourself. TimeBlock does one job only — laying out your own hours, in color, and showing you afterwards how you really spent them. Nothing to invite, nothing to negotiate, no meeting requests in the way. PRIVACY Every block, note, and template you apply stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking. Nothing you plan ever leaves the device. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks everything in the app: unlimited time blocks, all eight block colors and per-block notes, the full day-template library, the Insights dashboard with charts and your 7-day activity map, and the Coach tab with your daily score, tips, and planning methods. Available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Open the Today tab, add your first block for tomorrow morning, and see how much day you really have.

About

ClassKeep

Still tracking lessons with paper or spreadsheets—and dreading month-end reconciliation? ClassKeep is for teachers who run their own students— schedule, attendance, and lesson credits in one flow. After each class you’ll know: how many were used, how many remain, and whether the money adds up. 【Sound familiar?】 • A parent asks on Saturday “how many lessons left?”—you dig through chat history • Excel says “attended,” but payments don’t match • Reschedules and make-ups live in one place; balances live in another • School admin software is too heavy for one person 【Who it’s for】 • Home / studio one-on-one: piano, voice, guitar, violin, art, private speech therapy… • Small groups: beginner band, dance teams, coding clubs, kids’ chess, youth theater… • Sports & fitness: swim lessons, tennis coaching, personal training packages, martial arts… • Academic tutoring: SAT / ACT prep, math & reading, AP subjects, college essay coaching… • Mixed formats: private lessons on weekdays, 3–8 student groups on weekends, different rates by level • Not a huge roster—but the books must be clear: dozens of active students, parents asking “lessons left / how much paid” It’s a strong fit if— you find your own students, teach, and get paid yourself as an independent tutor, coach, or part-time teacher; you only need to take attendance on your phone before/after class; and you’d rather not pay for clunky school software or wrestle spreadsheets again. Not a fit for: franchise academies, multi-location studios with staffed front desks, multi-teacher teams, or anyone who needs a parent booking portal / admissions CRM—use a full studio management system instead. 【With ClassKeep】 Maya teaches piano from her home studio: she sets pricing for “Piano — Intermediate,” enrolls Emma and Noah for 16 lessons each, opens a Saturday trio class, and generates the month’s schedule in one go. On lesson day she marks attendance—present deducts a credit; excused absence does not. When parents ask at month-end, student profiles or Stats show the answer at a glance. Private lessons work the same: one student = one class, fixed weekly time, attendance deducts credits. Data stays on your device—backup and export anytime. 【Free & Pro】 The free plan covers the full teaching loop. Free tier has limits on students, active classes, and courses; upgrade to Pro for unlimited capacity as you grow. —— Features (skim when you need them) —— • Class schedule: day / week / month; reschedule this session only or all future ones • Attendance & credits: present / leave / absent; balances update live; over-attendance when credits run out • Lesson ledger: enroll, renew, withdraw—remaining lessons and amounts in one place • Conflict warnings when times collide • Local notifications: before class, when renewals are due, when a class is almost fully scheduled • On-device data: spreadsheet export + backup/restore—no cloud account required Subscriptions: Pro is an auto-renewable Apple subscription. Manage or cancel in Settings. See in-app subscription details.
