Horae vs CUEit

Horae is a time-tracking app for people who don't stick to schedules. Most productivity apps assume you can plan your day in advance and follow that plan. If that's never quite worked for you, you're not broken — you just need a different approach. Horae works the other way around: track what you actually do, then see where your time really goes. NO SCHEDULES, NO PLANS, NO GUILT Start a timer when you start something. Stop it when you're done. Switch between activities as your day shifts. That's the whole loop. The app stays out of your way and shows you the patterns that emerge. SET GOALS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Decide how much time you want to spend on Work, Sleep, Health, or anything else — daily, weekly, or monthly. Horae tells you how you're tracking against those goals without nagging you back into a rigid plan. EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE - 100% offline. Your data lives in private storage on your iPhone. - No accounts. No sign-up. No cloud uploads. - No ads. No tracking. No analytics. - Crash reports go through Sentry with personal text stripped out. - Export everything as JSON or CSV anytime, or wipe it all in one tap. WHAT'S INSIDE - A clean timer that recalculates from the moment you started — never drifts. - A day timeline showing how your hours actually flowed. - Insights that compare your real time against your goals, daily and weekly. - Activity-level drill-downs to spot where the day disappeared. - Smart reminders for forgotten timers and long-running sessions (you control which fire and when). - Quiet hours so notifications respect your evenings. - Preset categories to start from, fully customizable to fit your life. DESIGNED FOR REAL DAYS Horae handles the messy stuff: timers spanning midnight, time zones when you travel, retroactive entries when you forgot to start, gap-filling when there's a hole in your day, and entries that bleed past their planned end. PRIVACY-FIRST, ALWAYS Your tracked time is nobody's business but yours. Future updates may add optional cloud sync for backup and multi-device — when they do, it'll be opt-in and you'll always be able to export your data and walk away. If schedules don't work for you, give Horae a try. Track honestly. See clearly. Adjust as you go.

CUEit is a minimal, private routine timer for moments when timing matters but watching a timer gets in the way. Build your own reusable timed sequence for coffee, cooking, exercise, practice, skincare, or any routine with steps at specific moments. Run it, stay present with what you are doing, then use it again whenever you need it. Your slots stay stored locally on your device. BUILD YOUR OWN CUES Each slot is a timer you shape around a real routine. Add cues with a title and exact timestamp. A cue can be anything: pour, stir, rest, flip, stretch, check, or stop. Create the sequence once, then return to it whenever you need it. To add a cue, open a slot and tap the plus button. Tap a cue title or time to edit it. Press and hold a cue title to delete it. To rename a slot, tap its title on the main screen. Press and hold a slot to delete it. KEEP TIME WITHOUT WATCHING A large countdown always shows the time until your next cue. The top-right clock shows total elapsed time, like a quiet stopwatch. Your cue list stays visible throughout the session, with the current cue highlighted as the timer moves forward. When a cue arrives, its title fills the screen so it can be seen at a glance. A sound alert is available with CUEit Access. When enabled, a clear chime notifies you at each cue even when your attention is elsewhere. MADE FOR REPEATED MOMENTS CUEit is not a generic timer. It is a small library of timing structures for the things you do again and again. Use it for a pour-over coffee, a workout set, cooking pasta, a stretching sequence, an instrument practice session, or any personal ritual with a rhythm worth remembering. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No ads. No social features. No cloud sync. No internet connection required. Your slots and cues stay only on your device. CUEit is for routines where timing should support the moment, not take you out of it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
