Okay, real talk: where does the time go? You sit down for "five minutes," look up, and somehow it's dark out. You know you've got stuff to do — you just can't feel how much time is left, or which thing to start first. When your brain doesn't do time, a to-do list won't save you. It's just more stuff to lose track of. Ringround shows your whole day as a circle you can actually see. Your day becomes a 24-hour dial. NOW sits at the top, the day turns underneath, and one glance tells you where you are and how long until the next thing. Time stops being invisible. What it does: • See your day at a glance — colorful blocks on a ring, not a wall of text. • Can't pick what to do? Hit Ring Round — give the dial a spin and let it choose for you. Decision made, no spiral. • Put your day on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — a calm cylinder fills with color so you can check the time without falling into your phone. • Gentle nudges before things start. Optional. Never shouty. • Your colors, your categories, your names for things. Make it yours. Made for brains that lose time. ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, time-blind, or just perpetually "five minutes behind" — this one's for you. Ringround doesn't try to fix you or optimize you. You're not a productivity project. It just makes time something you can see, so the day stops slipping out from under you. No accounts. No ads. No subscriptions or upsells nagging you forever. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Your day's right there. It's a circle. Go take a look.

About

Zendo Time Ledger

Features
Read full description

Zendo is a personal time ledger for recording where your time goes, reviewing it by activity and value, and making informed decisions about how to allocate it. Each entry begins where the previous one ended. When you finish an activity, choose an end time, enter the activity, and classify the interval as Invest, Maintain, Recover, or Drain. This creates a continuous timeline without requiring you to start a timer in advance. If an interval is not ready to classify, save it for later and complete it when convenient. On macOS, Zendo shows the current unlogged duration in the menu bar. Log time from the menu bar popover or the dedicated Quick Log window, or use configurable global shortcuts to save the current interval and open Quick Log without switching to the main window. History presents each day's entries with their time range, duration, activity, and value category. Choose a date range, search activities and notes, or filter by activity, value category, and whether an entry still needs details. Statistics summarize how time is allocated over the selected period, including value breakdowns, trends, top activities, period comparisons, and activity-level changes by value category. Key features: - Build a continuous time ledger without starting and stopping a timer in advance - Log time from the macOS menu bar, Quick Log window, or global keyboard shortcuts - Classify time as Invest, Maintain, Recover, or Drain - Save an interval now and complete its activity and value category later - Reuse recent activities and apply value categories based on previous use - Browse history by day, week, month, year, or a custom date range - Search and filter activities, notes, value categories, and incomplete entries - Review value breakdowns, trends, activity rankings, and period comparisons - Export and restore a local ledger backup - Sync across your own devices through an iCloud private database Zendo requires no product account and includes no ads or third-party analytics. Ledger data is stored locally on your device. When you enable iCloud, it syncs through your private iCloud database. The developer does not collect the contents of your ledger.
