Make the work ahead of you visible. SHURABA is a work-tracking app that helps you record working time and manage tasks, progress, and schedules toward your deadline. “How many hours did this task actually take?” “How much work is left before the deadline?” “What should I work on today?” SHURABA turns those uncertainties into clear records and schedules. 【Track your work time easily】 Choose a category, project, and task, then start the timer. Your working time is recorded as you go. 【Manage projects and tasks】 Organize your work by project. Set an estimated duration for each task to see how much work remains before completion. 【Plan your schedule toward a deadline】 Create schedules based on deadlines, estimated task durations, and available working hours. You can also mark days when you cannot work. 【Compare plans and actual work on the calendar】 See both your planned and actual working time on the calendar and quickly review your progress. 【Keep a work log】 Add notes and images to your work records so you can look back on what you worked on, when you did it, and how far you progressed. 【Use your past pace for future estimates】 Check the average time spent on tasks with the same name. Your past records can help you estimate future schedules more accurately. 【SHURABA Pro】 SHURABA Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads and lifts limits on active projects and work log images. It also adds per-day and per-weekday working-hour settings, averages from past tasks, Dark Mode, and more.
