Most time trackers exist to bill clients or squeeze more out of a day. Timeshape exists to show you where your life goes, so you can make room for the parts you care about. Tap a topic when you start something and tap again when you stop. Over time, you'll see how much goes to work, to family, to the side project you say you have no time for, and to whatever else you decide to track. Pick a few things that matter to you Deep work, workouts, reading, time with the kids, the business you're starting on the side. Each gets its own place, and each day you see how they add up. Watch your day take shape The home screen is a single dial that fills as you go. Look at it at lunch, look at it at night. There are no reports to run and nothing to fill in. Track from your wrist Start and stop timers on Apple Watch and check your daily, weekly and monthly totals. Add Timeshape to your watch face to open it with a tap. When your phone isn't connected, keep tracking and sync when you reconnect. Aim for something, gently Want three hours of reading a week? Set a goal and see how much time you've put toward it. Miss a week, and nothing happens. There is no streak to lose and no notification telling you that you've let yourself down. Keep your to-dos where your time is Each topic has its own task list, so "call the accountant" sits next to the hours you've put into the business. Recurring chores fit, and so do one-off errands and quick notes that don't belong to any topic. Skip a recurring task when you need to, then carry on next time. See your patterns After a few weeks, each topic shows you a calendar of your days. You might notice that you usually write in the morning, or that the project you think you're neglecting is getting two hours a day. History brings your tracked sessions and completed tasks together when you want to look back. Yours, and only yours There's no account, no sign-up and no server. Your records stay on your devices, and tracking works offline on both iPhone and Apple Watch. If you forgot to hit start, add the time afterwards. If you change your mind about a topic, archive it and keep its history. You shape your time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lucid at every 3 days against Timeshape's every 2 weeks. Timeshape's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
